Best autmotive turn signal bulbs according to redditors

I just upgraded the lights on my kawasaki, so I got all this worked out.

• First, a reference for the bulbs your bike takes: https://www.superbrightleds.com/vehicle/2007-honda-vtx1300c-vehicle-led-lights?make=32&model=3563&year=2007
  
• Front turn signals- I wanted to use my front signals as running lights, so I got these white/amber 1157 bulbs (it says it fits the 7528 sockets on your bike) and clear lenses. These will be white lights, then when you turn on the turn signal the white on that side goes out and blinks amber: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JC7233R/.
  
• amber/amber 1157/7528 bulbs if you don't want white/amber: https://www.amazon.com/iBrightstar-Newest-Bright-Projector-replacement/dp/B071FB824J
  
• clear/smoke turn signal lenses for your bike: optional, but I like the look: https://www.amazon.com/Krator-Signal-Lenses-Indicator-Blinkers/dp/B016N2H60A
  
• Main headlight: I actually kept this halogen because H4 LED headlight bulbs were too expensive and I couldn't mount them in my headlight bucket without modification. This one's more than bright enough for me, I'm really happy with it. I don't feel like I'm blinding oncoming traffic with this one but the lowbeam is brighter than my high beam used to be. But if you still want to, look for an H4 LED bulb, but I don't recommend it. I'd rather replace the bucket if I went that route. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000CR3UW6
  
• Tail light bulb: red/red 1157 (says it fits 7528, your bike's size) LED bulb: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MY4T4BU/
  
• Rear turn signals: amber 1156 (says it fits the 7506 socket) LED: I actually didn't use these, for a reason I'll explain below. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0739RCR3J/
  
• Turn Signal Relay: You may need this to fix a problem with the bulbs flashing really fast. The reason it does that is because it expects a certain power draw, but the LEDs draw less power, so it thinks a bulb is out. When that happens the turn signals flash really fast. This replacement relay is designed to fix that and the page says it aught to work on your bike. Installation on your bike should be easy: you have to find your stock turn signal relay, unplug it, and plug this one in. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RM26LXO
  
• Some quick googling said the turn signal relay "Should be under the right side cover. The one in rubber with the plug in the "back" is the fuel relay the other one has a plug srait in the bottom, thats the one for the blinkers." I hope that makes sense when you get into the bike, check with VTX owner forums for more info.
  
• All 4 turn signals lighting at once- this is something that happened with my bike, again because the power draw was different the bike didn't want to differentiate between left and right turn signals so both sides would light up. I found out if you leave at least one regular bulb in the system, it would behave normally and switch between left and right. That's why I didn't use LED rear turn signals- I can live without those being LEDs. The alternative solution I read was soldiering some resistors into the turn signal indicator circuit, which is above my technical capabilities/confidence. It's your call if you want to go that route, I'm happy enough with my setup (I actually uploaded the demo videos on the amazon page for the relay and white/amber LEDs so you can see how it behaves.)
  
  For the fast/4-way flashing issues, I can't say if they will effect your bike. I have a feeling they will, and if they do you know how to address them. All in this upgrade runs about 90 bucks, minus 17 if you decide to stick with halogen rear turn signals.

  Good lord that's a long post

I run LED replacement bulbs in every bulb placement save the headlghts and cornering lights. I also have dual-color LED fog lights.

I've tried multiple brands all the way from store-bought Putco Plasma bulbs all the way to the cheapo Wal•Mart ones, and my experience has been that the best stuff is found online, and that stuff shouldn't cost you an arm and a leg.

Take this set, for example. It has some plastic enclosing the SMDs and the SMDs face forward as well as a triangular set that angle backwards into the reflector. The result of that kind of setup is that (in my personal opinion) that LED replacement bulb looks just like the incandescent original in terms of light pattern (no hotspots etc) and yet is far brighter.

Did that cost me $500? no, it was a mere CAD$25ish.

But if you go with a brand like Putco, you'll probably spend thousands. in my mind, that just isn't worth it.

Summing it up, I suggest you go do research and find out what bulbs you need, and just choose the bulbs that look like they'll light up correctly in your housings, and that brand loyalty is highly overrated.

I also could compile a list of links if you'd like.

You bet. Not sure of the OEM Projector Housing part #, but they are GM. Bought them used on FB Marketplace. Brand new with only 3k miles on them. $300 total.

I can’t help with headlights info, but I have a 2015 3 and did the LED Interior, reverse, license plate and parking lights upgrade. Really pretty easy and much better light all around. I used these and they all are still working great:

Good luck!

This is everything I use. Haven’t had any issues in 2 years so far. For the tag lights, you can just go to an auto parts place and buy their LEDs.

Turn signals (front and back): https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0774HQC8Q/
I was hesitant to spend $110 on bulbs, but these things are beasts! plus they have the resistors built into them, so no splicing wires or anything. Totally recommend them
The front bulbs were the easiest to replace, just pop the hood, locate the bulb, twist the housing out and pop the bulbs in. The ones in the back were a bit of a pain. Pop the hatch, and where the door is normally closed, to the inner side of the light houses there's a small plastic panel, that just pops off. Behind it is a set of #10 (I believe) bolts. Undo those. The housing assembly takes some loving to get out, but it just pulls straight back -- I broke a tab off trying to go side to side... It goes back in and latches fine, but, learn from me: it goes straight back... Even though it doesn't seem like it does. Then once it's out, replace the bulbs as usual, reverse the process to put it back in.

Backup Lamps: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01LX4FMD1/
The backup lamps are just covered by a plastic panel on the hatch door that pops out with a pocket knife or small flat head screwdriver, then the bulb twists out as usual.

​

Most of this was figured out first hand, or from the owner's manual.

​

As for my internal lights so far, I've only replaced the one above the back seats and the ones above the front seats. The back seat ones pop out with a knife super easily, whereas the front ones were more complicated. I took some pictures of that process and uploaded them here: https://imgur.com/a/YJItuhz -- Basically, the whole module (lights, buttons, sunglasses holder, etc) all comes out, then you replace the bulbs from the back side. The bulbs themselves I picked up from Canadian Tire, which was just a run of the mill off the shelf LED bulbs

I have white ones, green ones and red ones for my fusion:


194 LED Light bulb, Yorkim® 6th Generation, Non-Polarity,12V Lights for 168, 2825,T10 5-SMD LED Bulb, Replacement and Reverse White Bulbs,Used For Signal Lights, Trunk Lights, Dashboard Lights, Parking Lights, With Great Brightness and Longer Life(Pack of 10) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MAG6RMM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_IQaLxbA01511V

reverse

Something like this for interior.

And these are what I've been using for turn signal, but you're going to need a set of resistors if you do LED blinkers.

For rear, I would recommend the Diode Dynamics Tail as Turn Harness. It also gives you the ability to have twice as many reverse lights. shit is bright.

I use these for my low, high, and parking lights. With the brights on, all three sockets are illuminated a bright ass white with the same color temperature. For an NB1 DO NOT do this without either NB2 housings or retrofitting a projector. Seriously. It just glares like hell and is both rude and dangerous.

Headlights (you only need one pair. the cutoff is outstanding)

Map lights, license plate lights, running tail lights, and side marker lights

Reverse lights

Front turn signals (accessible from under the vehicle - pin remover and 10mm socket needed)

Rear turn signals (requires tail light disassembly)

Turn signal resistors (required to prevent hyperflashing; soldering is recommended)

Brake lights (requires tail light disassembly)

Daytime-running lights (pliers needed)

Trunk light and dome light

LED's use less power than regular bulbs. Because of this, the lights will blink faster (hyperblink). You need to add a resistor to the wiring for the turn signals to introduce more load which will slow them down.

​

Something like this would work.

This is for 12V, though. I've seen 12V ones for automotive use, but they get pretty hot even when bolted to metal.

Looks great!

Looks good man. Now what you need to do it get rid of the amber colored light bulbs in there. Silver coated bulbs get rid of the "egg yolk" look and clean up the headlights. I have the ones linked in my headlights and they work great!

We're you asking about the hyperblink relay? It's this:

So I just bought a set of JDM Tom's taillights used from the forums and they came without the relay. Can I install them without the relay? Or should I just wait until I buy one. Also, is there a specific kind I have to get for Tom's taillights? Or will one like this work?

There's a hint of blue with 10k but I like that. Switchbacks are dual colored directionals. When youre head lights are on the directionals are white like in the picture and when youre signaling they flash amber. I haven't touched the break lights but I did switch the rear parking bulb with an led so I can see more out of my rear camera.

I wouldn't be concerned about getting flush indicators. I would be leery of doing anything that would decrease visibility. You can find some lower profile stalks that will stick out less, but still let you be seen by other drivers.

A word of caution tho, if you're looking to go LED for your signals as I have, while you get a much brighter light, on an older bike it's likely you won't be drawing enough current to activate the relay that makes it flash. This is what happens when a turn signal is burned out and why you get that fast flashing, which is what you will have if you don't get an aftermarket relay or some decent resistors to help.

Another thing you could do, which is what I did, is I rewired my stock turn signals to my brake light as well as installed led turn signals. What this did was allowed it to draw enough current to keep it from giving me the fast flash, as well as giving a dull flash in my tail light. AFAIK it's legal to have a flashing/pulsing/strobing brake light since they sell kits for it. I put the bulbs in the same spot as the brake light bulbs, but I used a few strips of red SMD 5050 in my brake light housing and they're much brighter than stock.

Edit: added link for the type of turn signals.

Unfortunately I don't have before and after pics.

I had LEDs in the halogen housings and the distance was better than the Anzos. But there is more width with the Anzos. I plan to get different, better, LEDs to see if I can get more distance.

HID still perform better than LED in projectors, but in my opinion LEDs are easier to install. As seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUxfA7RnK-0

I did not get the switchback set, but I did upgrade all bulbs to LEDs.

Lastly I use Forscan to address hyper flashing and enable "Bambi Mode" (fogs stay on with high beams). I did not have to splice any wires.

No they are not these are the ones I got they are also the same bulbs for your license plate

Use this video to figure out how to get to the reverse lights:

I didn't see the video before I did the change and I messed up ALL 4 clips. (I was drinking / New Years Eve). Got inpatient and just removed with force.

Now I'm on a search to replace those 4 clips. Anyone know where I can get them cheap? I don't need a pack of 25 either.

As far as the LED light goes, VERY bright. At night, it's similar in brightness to lets say a fog light.....sorta.

The top of the LED light that you see in the album is actually a curved Glass/plastic that acts like a magnifying glass to .... magnify the light.

These are the ones I used.

6 ohm resistors: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L4V9ECY/

I had this problem with my thruxton. The resistance in the LED's is too low and it thinks your bulbs are burnt out. Add some resistors in series with the bulbs and it will work just fine.

Edit: Specifically these resistors
