Hey, me again!

I wannareplace the little 5w bulbs with LEDs for a sharper look, blue ones in the headlight (parking light) and number plate light....plus red ones in the tail light.

I also want to replace the brake light bulb with an LED bulb too but I;ve never seen a single filament bulb in a brake light before, are they common?

Final question: how do I change the number plate bulb? It's not in the manual
Why do you want to put blue bulbs in? You haven't got a Vauxhall Nova by any chance, have you?!!
You're both from the right part of the country though
Oi! Careful.............
Doesn't one say "Leave it ahht" from your parts
I believe some fellows in the south of our fair county may well do.
that was unnecessary.

I want blue because it has a higher visibility for car users on the road. It's all about being seen

I dont even own a car btw, and I certainly dont cruise the seafront!! I like the seafront for it's beaches, not it's long roads with speed bumps.

Shade, i haven't changed any of the bulbs on my SD but i have on previous bikes and cars. (I don't own a car anymore either)

I normally use this company for the bulbs.........



I've stopped doing it now because despite rumours that leds last longer than traditional bulbs, i have never actually had an led that has lasted longer. I was always finding that i needed to change them every 2/3 months, where as i can't remember the last time i changed one of my traditional bulbs.

Good luck with it anyway, i am sure it will look good
