Yup, plenty bright. If you think they're too dim you could always pick up some LEDs, too.

 

I did the same thing, and needed the load equalizer to go with it.

 

D.O.T. current regulations specify that there are two colors for front illumination... white for headlight, amber for front turn signal. this can be accomplished by using amber bulbs behind the smoke or clear lens. for the rear, red for the stop/tail light. red or amber for the rear turn signals.

 

If you haven't purchased bulbs, check out the GE Silverstar. Personally I hate the amber bulb look behind the smoked lenses. The GE bulbs are almost clear or slightly smoked when the ignition is off (no power). Once powered they are amber and they look great with smoked lenses while sitting or riding.

For the rear Auto Zone has a red LED with the 1157 socket. While off they are clear when on they are red. The part # is 343446. Both of these bulbs make the smoked lenses really stand out.

 

Thanks Ron! This exactly the kind of thing that makes this forum so worth while (specific and useful help versus throwing a guy under the bus for asking a 'dumb question'). I do appreciate it.

Later...

 

I agree and thanks for that advice.

 

I just bought the replacement smoked lens kit from the dealer for about $30 I think and it came with the bulbs.
