I have always thought that the small eagle eye LED lights at bigbikeparts.com woild be the "Bee's Knees" for an upgrade on the Valk.... but alas they were too expensive for my blood.  I'm po!

No wait!  They're on sale... for over 60% off!

You will also need a set of these to adapt them to the valk:

Of course you will need a load balancer too... but I'll pick that up next month.

This is a great price on an item I have been watching for years.

I tried LED's on my bike.  The front worked fine.  The rears never worked right. I had separate equalizers.  LED's are not necessarily brighter.  Kept the fronts on a while then changed them back.

Good Luck!

Not to hijack this thread, but it is LED related:  Has anyone tried the LED 1157 type bulbs that plug right into the socket?

Been considering installing these, but they come with a big price tag!

 They are not brighter ( maybe the same) but they only shine straight out.  You can get another type that's still plug and play with more LEDs (more expensive) but you have to mickey mouse them to fit.
 You also need the equalizers because LEDs use less power.  Pain in the a$$.
IMO, save your money.

Rather than buying an equaliser I just bought a new flashing module that coped with LED's and normal bulbs and that means you can just plug and play any bulb and much easier as there is no wiring to do. The module was less than $10 on eBay.

As to the replacement LED 1157 bulbs I have them front and rear and they work fine been using them for over 2 years with no issues. Again very cheap from eBay. (eBay is the best source for parts here in Spain as the parts shops only seem to carry standard OEM stuff).
