Default Aux LED lights on 1998 Ultra

Took the LEDs out to clean up my Aux light buckets. Not really happy with the amount of light to throw and thinking of replacing.



Noticed the white power lead. Anyone know what those multiple bumps are on the power lead? Are they some type of in-line resistors?

Don't know about the bumps but I bought these and installed over the winter and am verry happy. They also come in clear.

LEDs have leapt forwards in bounds in quite recent times. Those look fit for a museum, to be polite! I have three Trucklites on my '90, but my four indicator lights look similar to yours. Note to self: look for some a bit more up-to-date ones!

Those bumps are probably ferrite chokes. The keep the LED's from tossing out RF interference. As stated previously, an upgrade would be worth it.
