I would like to replace the bulbs in my Motorcycle with Leds, the brake light , and 2 of the blinker lights, the other 2 would require a resistive load, to run the blinker, so that isnt worth changing to Led, then putting a resister in that just wastes power anyways.
I ordered 2 1157 30led things off of ebay, spent 15 minutes trying to jam them into any of the sockets, and they just did not fit ANYWHERE on the bike :-(
THEN
I fired them up with 12, and 14.4 volts, and they wouldnt have REPLACED the 2057 or the 2056s that i have AT ALL, it was the most weasily output, using leds from the dark ages .
they also dont like to overdrive them, so the curcuits will go to 16V even though most well regulated autos now dont go over 15v.
So i lose 14$ + shipping, and all i get is trash.
it is not sufficient to have a light that visually looks brighter than the incadescent replacements in only ONE aspect. i would have to have ones that are AS bright all the way around, no ifs ands or buts about it.
now i know i can fudge up something that works, and wedge it into the hole. but surely they manufacture something that can correctally and fully replace these bulbs, and that fits the socket.
i also dont think i should have to have a 4x6inch breadboard of leds at $50-75 to do the job, i should not have to ALTER the bike in the case i have to remove it.
Offroad use only , BAH, useless product is more like it.
GRRR.
if ya want it done right, do it yaself.
Are there any out there that WILL 120% replace these bulbs, AND provide the same light juice to the rest of the light housing that the incadescent did, AND not cost an arm and a leg?
