Ok I am looking at ordering LEDs for all the way around on my scooter. I know the Tail/brake are 1157 and the rear turn signal are or will accept an 1141 bulb. But what about these on the front can any one tell me what the socket is on them I have arrows to in the picture?

And when you changed out your Signals with LED what Relay did you use?
Thanks, Todd

Hi Todd. I used T10 wedge bulbs (1 watt led) for the running lights. Got them on eBay for around $2.50 for a pair shipped. I didn't bother with the directionals because I find the original bulbs are bright enough and since these are blinking lights, they don't really drain the battery for the amount of time they are used.

Thanks Cruiser. I the front signals seem to be fine for visibility. But every time my dad follows me in daylight he has a hard time seeing my signals on the rear. I guess I may just change out the rear witch may keep me from having to change out the Flasher Relay then.
I have HIDs on the way but not sure when they will get here. I will try and document the whole process of the HID install also.
Thanks, Todd

I changed my flashers and did not have to change the relay. The front flashers are the same type bulb as the rear flashers. I was getting yellow bulbs for the front lights, but they sent me 1 yellow and 1 white. I haven't bothered to order more yellows yet (they come in pairs where I got them on e-bay.)
I'm now running all LEDs, HID for the headlights (wow). I just haven't changed out the instrument panel lights yet. I hear that LEDs in the instrument panel can help with the panel visibility.

I just checked all of the links that were posted to obtain the various LED replacement bulbs, and all seem to have expired. In particular, I would appreciate if anyone has the specific links to actually find the specific bulbs in the previous postings. Here is a copy of the earlier posting: The blinker bulbs are a 1156 type just like an auto bulb and be sure to get amber bulbs even for the rear as one is supposed to stay the same color as the lens on LED's. Of course the front blinker lens are clear so still stay with amber. Now I'm sorry, I didn't get to this earlier as I've been gone but I have bought several LED's and these from this one seller on Ebay are awesome for all of your LED needs on this scooter so here goes; Get these for the little side running lights by the headlights, they are so bright you could see how to drive home in the dark should your headlights fail! cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2pcs-168-....sQ5fAccessoriesGet these for the blinkers and I promise they will in broad open sunny daylight make your blinkers brighter especially the rear ones; cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2pcs-1156....=item2c54d7ac4bGet these for the stop/tail lights again they are bright! cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2pcs-1157....=item2c54d7b937Get these for the instrument and license plate lights; cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/10pcs-161....=item2c54d7be97Now you do know one can get a wedge bulb backwards so before you put her all back together make sure they all burn, if they don't simply pull out and turn 180 degrees. Dr. JR BTW all were free shipping except the 10 wedge bulbs but this ebay guy will generally put bulk orders together and save you some bucks, ask up front and even though his stuff comes from over seas about 7 days is all I've ever waited.
