Heres All Of The Different Bulbs And Their Part Numbers , So Everyone Can See Them & Compare Them ! ... From Left To Right ; #24xhp - #74x - #74xhp - #74xhp3 , .. I Used 4 OF #74xhp3 , It Is The Only Bulb That Shoots Light Out In Three Different Directions !

 

[Diablotin]

you did a very helpful job there, now i don't need anymore to figure how bright they were

 

[COP RUNNER]

Anyone Who Is Putting These LED Bulbs In , Just Remember That They Are All " POLARITY SENSITIVE " !

Thanks for the step-by-step Yukoner and the idea Cop Runner! I love the dramatic change! I used 2 74xhp for the speedo and 2 74xhp3 for the gauges. I may change the speedo out to the 74xhp3's just because they are so much brighter! Here's a pic...

Man that looks sweet. Im gonna have to go change my bulbs again now! Mod Monkey wins again. Thanks for the tips guys

 

[COP RUNNER]

i " AWESOME "

 

[ninjaneer]

the steps proved very valuable. it made the mod enjoyable. i did, however, take off the turn signal bracket as well. i also had to squeeze the first bulb holder (and ended just doing them all) between my fingers to tighten it up so that the bulb would actually stay in. almost got pissed thinking that the mod would include a new bulb housing. i scored 25% on the "get the bulb in with the right polarity on the first try" game.

Thanks for resurrecting this. I was just going to order oem replacement bulbs. I was thinking maybe it was time after 23 years. So why spend $10.00 on oem when you can spend a hundred. Ordered 5 each in red,white,blue,and green in 74hxp3 and 74xhp. Thanks again as I wanted to change to l.e.d. But I didn't know what to use. Rand

Alright, seems most people have the blue LEDs, so I got the green. Not sure if it is going to ge ok or not. I was concerned that the "55" in red block on the speedo would not show up but it does. The lumens on the green were a little brighter than the others, plus of the 4 brightness levels of the bulbs I got the 2nd. I'll know more when I get it out, right now waiting on my new gas tank, other was rusty inside.

Green LED'S look great But dont tell anybody. LOL. Check out the 55mph mark I thought that Z looked cool. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQ5KZ4qhLiw&list=WLA1FDE7D519E9B931&index=2&feature=plpp_video This show's the green with with a cheep brake light set up that i like alot. It's only $45 for both light's. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUZJ...t=WLA1FDE7D519E9B931&lf=plpp_video&playnext=2 I like how you can see the geen light's glowing of the grab bar bracket.
