Default LED turnies

Any recommendations for LED turn signals for a 2011 48. I remember I bought LED signals and brake light for an old ninja I had way back when. And, when they arrived, boy were they pieces of crap. I wouldn't mind something that would fit in the OEM housings.

I wanted to get smoked lenses and LED lights for my signal/brake lights on my 48. The dealer wanted $35 for 4 lenses and $17 per LED bulb. I was able to find the lenses for $16 and 4 LED bulbs(2 amber, 2 red) for $20. They fit perfect with no issues and took about 2 minutes to install. The bulb size is 1157.

We just moved and my camera is still at the old house. I'll try to get pics soon. I ended up just getting everything off ebay. I just made sure the bulbs came from an America seller. Ended up doing smoke lenses and LEDs for ~$35 as opposed to ~$100 from the dealer. Im all about saving money.

Nothing wrong with that! You have to be careful. I've noticed the parts guys at the dealer with the nice offices tend to quote higher prices, too. Jerk offs...

I have red LED's in the rear stock houseings on both bikes. I got the LED bulbs from AutoZone for under $20.00 and have the HD smoked covers. They look awesome and are very bright.

I removed the stock signals and put single leds in the sides of the headlight eyebrow. They have high and low for running and signal. They are practically worthless during the day and minimal at night but I use hand signals anyway since no one pays attention anyway. Bought em on ebay years ago fo about ten bucks.

JP cycles has them... I think I am going to go that route. Don't need to do any re-wiring and give HD a reason to void my warranty. Are you pleased with the results? Would you do it again, so to speak?
