LED side lights
 
I was speaking to a guy who has changed his side lights for LED"S he claims they are less of a draw on the battery and improve lighting ,any ideas where to get them and if his claims are true before i spend yet more money :paranoid:

I replaced the two side lights with LED's, and yes you get better 'look at me' illumination, it doesn't make any difference to how the road is illuminated though.

LEDs are still a developing product IMHO, and I went through a number of them before going back to normal bulbs. The problem I found was the thickness of the mounting plate on the LED, it's just not big enough for the Tenere bulb holders and becomes loose after time.

It may be that thee are better products on the market now, if you find them let us know.

Pretty much what GULGO said. They make **** all difference in the grand scheme of lighting. If you want to see more then there are several people on here (myself included) who have fitted an HID kit into the stock dip set up, which helps a lot.
