Tried some new LEDs for the trunk Tail/Brake lights
Had a tail light go out on me the other day so I decided to upgrade to LEDs, found theses on Amazon, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07V8 ... UTF8&psc=1
They have a built in flash for the brake circuit.
Here is a pic of before and after, left is new LEDs right is old bulbs. Here is a video showing both sides with new LEDs in brake light mode.

Quite a difference. I may have to do the same at some time when one of my bulbs burn out.

That video didn't work - you've got the privacy set to "private" on YouTube, so only specific people can see it. Everyone else sees this:wingpilot08 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 18, 2019 8:43 amUploaded video to Youtube...M61A1MECH wrote: ↑Tue Dec 17, 2019 4:07 pmThe link does not work for me.wingpilot08 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 17, 2019 8:15 am Did similar on my 2008...needed to replace a total of 6 bulbs...but was worth it!!

Re: Tried some new LEDs for the trunk Tail/Brake lights
Did you have to replace the flasher or do anything else for these to work? I have 2002 and have been told I have to replace the flasher unit.

Re: Tried some new LEDs for the trunk Tail/Brake lights
The bike’s flasher is not involved, these lights are only for brake and tail lights, the brake lights are modulated by a flasher unit built into the bulbs by the manufacturer. You only need to worry about the bike’s flasher if you change the turn signals over to LEDs from OEM incandescent.

Re: Tried some new LEDs for the trunk Tail/Brake lights
Thanks. My mistake I was asking about the turn signals. Forgot that the Goldwing signals are are separate lights.
