I bought 6, amber colored, 194 style LED indicator lamps for my rear turn signal project. there are 4 lLEDs per indicator lamp. the overall shape of these are square. i ran them vertically, on each side of my tail/brake light. they are very bright. i marked out a location and carefully cut some slots to make these fit. the overall dimensions are 1 1/4" long, 1/2" wide, and stick out maybe 1/2" as well. the stop/tail light has LED bulbs as well. thats just the tailight on. brake light is very bright.

i couldnt find my digital camera to get pics, so they are stillshots from my vid camera. ill probably get footage of me riding the bike and using the turn signals, filmed from my brothers car behind me

thanks. they do have a lil resistor or a lil mini circuit board looking thing already, but they still blink fast. I like the super ultra mega high speed blinkers lol

I would answer this one but im not sure how. This would be due to your lack of smilies and my inability to sense saracasm and other emotions in your post :lol:
