Well, I have to say I was not happy with the display on my Burgman. Hate the yellow color and the lights are not bright enough when the sun hits it. So I decided to make an LED upgrade, and now I am happy!
So first off it sucked figuring this out even with all the videos out there, but due to them it helped get the DIY tech out of it. So here is my layout.
First off had to watch Mitch tech us how to:
Next I had to learn to get the right bulb:
Amazon.com: Cutequeen 20PCS LED Car Lights Bulb White T5 3528 5-SMD 3smd 17 18 27 37 58 70 73 74 79
86 2721 (pack of 20): Automotive
(Note: I was able to do another Burgman in SD with the remainders)
Here is the package from the retailer.
To show the difference in bulbs.
Now the negative, they do not just drop in the hole! I had to use a foam drywall sanding block to wear it down a bit. (You do not have to be gental it sands down just fine) I reccomend sanding the side without the bulb but still hit the LED section and nothing stopped it from working. I did try them out prior to install to make sure they worked.
Here is the finished product, and I didnt replace the yellow sheet under the LED dash display.
As you can see the flashers are a ton brighter and I do not leave them running like a idiot.
Hope this helps others! Good Luck and Good riding!
