Does anyone have a link to the bright bulbs for the Valk Speedo & Tach? I seen them once before and they came in different colors?

This has been a complaint for years.

The bulbs are a T 3 1/4 style.

The original is around a 2 to 2.5 CP [ Candle Power]

#161 is 2.7 CP
#158 is 3.3 CP  [ what I now use]
#194 is 3.8 CP
#168 is 4.9 CP [ said to hot and blisters ]


Many have switched to LEDs. Can't help you there.

Three months ago my tach bulb burned out and I went with the warm white x5 LED's mentioned in that thread.  LOVE THEM.  Good and bright, look close to original color of incandescent.

I liked the thread by chrise2469.  Anyone with a link to purchase the bulb he went with, the cool white X5?

Just changed mine out to 194 bulbs, I went with the orange version since it matches the Motosen gauges I have.    Glad I did it.

I met Chris at Inzane XII and he demonstrated his LED instrument lighting.  I was very impressed, but mostly with the turn signal indicator.  I have had the nasty habit of failing to cancel turn signals.  But no more after installing his upgrade.  I also installed his LEDs in the instrument cans.

Does anyone have the part numbers for neutral, high beam and turn signal lamps that are brighter than OEM?

Don't ride much at night, but I recently noticed my tach light has burned out.  The stock bulbs were always waaay to dim for my taste and I like the look of the cool white.  So, now's the chance...

Would someone make it easy for me... Is the cool white bulb in this series what I need to upgrade both speedo and tach illumination?
