    Its been noted that the aftermarket LED indicators are not that bright....
    The fronts are ok but the rears are hardly noticable....
    Ill get a pic loaded tomorrow...
    Now it could be because the rears are close set to the tail light due to the tail tidy.
    It could be cos they are nasty eBay ones...

    Can anyone recommend some decent bright LED indicators?
    I found some awesome Kellermann jobies but at £93 a pair I'm thinking not....

    Thanks

    The Oxford Nanos are amazingly bright and tiny.

    I have the triumph ones but they are also expensive... But do come with the correct relay and resistors..

    I've had Oxford micro indicators on a few bikes, there tiny and well made, I've fitted them on the scrambler...
    The original ones were almost as big as the headlight..

    Are they yellow LED's with a clear lens or white LEDs with a yellow lens? If they are yellow LEDs with Yellow lenses then they tend to look less bright (if that makes sense)

    Remember LEDs give a very directional light pattern so if its 1 led bulb then its probably not going to do a lot but multiple ones pointing in various directions would be better. I have just got some of these:( 2X R5W 1156 382 207 R10W REAR TAIL Amber 36 LED UK BULB | eBay ) to fit in my standard indi's and they seem ok.

    Also ordered led sidelights, rear brake lights and looking at a HID kit for the headlight.

    I tried these, but not as bright in daylight as filament bulbs.Also they need a good regulated supply or they will pop.
