Heeey, I never thought of that, maybe I should order some for the bike... They are just as expensive as HD OEM bulbs (I tried normal, same bulb number, aftermarket ones and I get a blown bulb after a few trips). I dont believe I would need a resistor setup on the bike either. Hmmmmmmm I dont knwo why I didnt think of that before...

they have a lot of other info there too.
Plus explanations of which shape works best for each area.
"Which Color LEDs should I use?
For best results the LED color should be the same as the lens color or if bulb is behind a clear lens, use the appropriate color for turn and brake light functions. As an example: a red lens will filter out all but the red portion of the light so if the light is all red, none or very little light will be blocked by the lens. The light from a White LED contains very little light in the red portion of the visible spectrum so most of the light would be filtered out by a red lens."
