LED tail lights

[pommie]

just ordered a 2006 R6 tail unit for my buell, anyone know where i can get some smick led tail lights nice & cheep,

Make'em yerself?

RS Electronics do 3500 mcd LED's at a reasonable price, and Jaycar even have boards to solder them into, or just use generic PCB boards.

Either that or Ben at Extreme Creations has an account with the LED boys. Check his website for details: www.extremecreations.com.au

I've got a couple of 1 Watt Luxeon LED's that I was going to use for tail lights at some stage. They're a lot brighter than ordinary ultrabright LED's. But I need a tail unit small enough to warrant them.

In the next month or so I'll be looking at 5 & 10 watt ones for headlights, using the reflector/focusing units out of those small torches. The only way I'm going to get headlights small enough to poke out of the helmet/headlight shell visor, without looking like crap. Then I can get a full graphice for the shell and visor.

The part number for the Hella combination LED tail light is pn 2334. It is a strip light that is about 200mm long. It has a red cover though so you may not get the full LED look.

IF you want to make your own then you will need around 4500 mcd for the tail light and I would be using around 10,000 mcd for the brake lights. Jaycar also sell a 9000 mcd yellow for the indicators.

All you need to do is hook up a 1 watt 200 ohm resistor with each LED and it will be right to go.

I will be playing around with LED's when I do the undertail for the Daytona
