Looking to get some LED replacement bulbs to replace the standard ones in my CCM.
Despite testing it the night before, my brake light wasn’t working by the end of an IAM ride, which probably doesn’t look the best. Off-roading tends to knacker filament bulbs which are on and the brake light at least is going to be on quite a bit.

Seeing that this is third time in three months I’ve had to replace it or something, thought I might as well go for LED ones that shouldn’t blow.

There’s plenty available on ebay, but I’d be interested to hear about anyone personal experiences.
Not looking to spend a massive amount.

The indicators use a smaller sized bulb – normal larger size ‘plug’, but with a smaller bit of glass.
‘Sidelight’ is a diddy one like this, but obviously not blue Smile.

I fitted these to the FJR:
https://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/product.php?productid=16500&cat=613&page=1

because they use many LEDs all around the frame, they are far more effective than a single series of LEDs pointing straight out the back, and allows for a more complete use of the reflector.

One of the other things I've found about LED tail lights is that they are often hard to distinguish between tail and stop, as they aren't THAT much brighter with the brakes on. These have quite a noticeable difference.

I also got some high intensity LED side lights from those guys too.

THIS Seller on Ebay sorted me out with some interior lights for my car the other week.

No problems with the quality and i will be looking at getting brake lights from him.

Cheers people Thumbs Up.

Ordered some from feef's link and chucked in a tarty windscreen wiper for my car while I was there.

Garyd; trying to keep this bike stock-ish, but might be interested if I get around to sorting out one of my other trail bikes. Be a few weeks before I'd know, so don't keep it for me.

Bah, you coulda told me before Razz.

Though, feef's place, the price is for 2, so it's not quite so bad.
