Has anyone used them? I will have my Valk for 20 years this coming November....first rear blinker to go out....I am very disappointed! :2funny: :2funny: :2funny:

Picked up Sylvania 1156 LED bulb - Normal bulb I believe is 7506??? Anything I should be concerned with using LED's???

Had mine 22 years now and still all original bulbs except the headlight I put a daymaker in it but until
Then two years ago it was also the original  :roll: the original  battery lasted 8+yrs :roll:

LED turn bulbs will cause load changes on the flasher switch and they won't flash correctly.

Are you replacing all with LEDs or just the one? If just the one it might flash but if all you will need a electronic flasher also you need to get amber color LEDs.

In addition to the Cyclops headlight, Radiantz taillight, and Electrical Connection auxiliary run/brake, I have these on all 4 corners with no ill effects to the flasher.
