Actually, I just bought a scooter, and started a thread about some changes I want to make on my light system.

1st because I've read so much about car drivers NOT realizing you're coming and they turn left and WHAM. If you're concerned about safety, you can imagine how bike drivers are about it.
The other reason is because of the LED's "coming up" much faster, and breaking is something very important.
My scoot comes with H4 18w/18w (low/high) HeadLights, and I'm pretty sure those aren't good enough for my needs (planning to get H4 halogen 35w/35w)
Just like Intoxicated, but for a different reason I'm tryng LED's on my tail lights (both to prevent an accident, but in my case to save my life )
The thing is, that for the turnlights you'll need a equalizer as DUQ said. (great link BTW). I saw this one: http://www.customdynamics.com/loadequalizer.htm#Universal Turn Signal
I've even heard you can use a "flasher" instead, but since I'm new in all this LED and candle world, I'm not sure which one should i get.

Any suggestions?
I found this site www.superbrightleds.com. They have the lowest prices I've found online http://www.superbrightleds.com/cgi-bin/store/commerce.cgi?product=CAR
the only thing you have to look very carefully is for the base, those are BA15 (15mm base) and they look just like BA20D base (200mm).
