I did one for my touring bike when I changed to LEDs, Works great. The only odd thing is they will still flash fast if the battery is getting low and the engine is not running.

After I put it in I was testing and they started flashing fast again. I worked on it for half an hour then thought I better start the bike so the battery didn't get too low, as soon as I started the bike they started flashing correctly. Doh!

 

You are correct . But what i was getting at is you could see the circuitery in the base of the bulb on those particular LEDs, was only using as an example, usually the more exspensive bulbs have a circuit built in that does not get hot as just a resistor would.
Sorry for the confusion or did i make it worse.

 

Mine flash at the normal rate. Anyone know how to post a clip on here. Didn't use a balancer. Maybe just a matter of time before it goes haywire?

 

If it works right to start with it shouldn't be an issue.

 

Some of the bulbs came in today. Gonna put them in. They're the ones that are two color bulb (running light is white and signal is amber). I'll try to snap a vid and put it on youtube.

 

Well, I installed the LED bulbs today. Unfortunately, the more expensive bulbs that change color snapped right off of the base when I installed them. They were lined up right with the correct orientation, and *snap* broke right off. Took a gamble and lost. I'll be leaving some bad feedback for sure.

The other cheapo ones are awesome. I put some in the rear and they look pretty sharp. I just need a bright sunny day to see them fully, but alongside the Bright *** Lights tail lamp, they're nice.

 

Well, the replacement bulbs I ordered are out of stock. Any recommendations for a bulb?

 

I put some Led's in the back lights on my bike and I had to take out the socket and, with a small file, modify the slots for the pins because the base wouldn't push in far enough to hook in. I believe this was possibly the problem you had with the bases breaking off of the bulb.
