Bright rear blinkers...

Mrs. Colleen · 04-12-2008, 05:48 PM

My FZR has aftermarket rear blinkers that are not really very bright. Before I go out and buy new ones I want to know which ones will be bright enough! Any positive or negative comments about brands you have tried or currently use will be helpful!

Thanks!

i think no matter what you get-use hyperwhite or similar mega bright style bulbs. they are overall brighter imo-leds are really really bright if you're in their direct line of sight, not so much if you are off to the side. its a blinker, so you want every1 to see it. i havent seen many well made blinkers with the leds pointing in all directions, cuz that would be really bright all around. i replaced three sets because the mounts broke before i went to some rubber mounted non led blinkers. leds are usually hard mount if they are stalk style, incandescants for most part are rubber mount in my experiance.

For what it's worth,double check they are correctly wired. Most older Yamahas had three wire turning signals and the running light wire can be confused for the ground. Also,in the past LP turning signal wires were mislabeled and you had to swap them around til you got the right combo. You should probably check this out before you buy new ones,otherwise you'll end up with the same problem.
