Yeah, I wondered about polarity but thought that might apply only if a resistor was fitted inside the bulb. Thanks for the heads-up on that.

They can be WAY too bright, if they are, you can paint the top of them black. Also use bulbs the same colour as the warning light. White ones tend to shine through the tint.
Also be aware that they can glow faintly when subjected to very low currents like earth leakages and power tracking across the surface of old, damp PCBs. All the instrument panel LED bulbs on my VFR glow dimly after about an hours riding in heavy rain. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen.

Bog-standard LEDs (non-resistor/diode) are working fine for instrument lights. They did need to be the right way around.
Thanks guys. ____________________ "There's the horizon! Ride hard, ride fast and cut down all who stand in your way!" |
