I think i have some spare ones when I bought a bunch the last time, i'll check when I get home. Word of caution though, LEDs during the day don't work so well. So if you have LEDs indicators all around expect some honking on round-a-bouts.

is that true? i never thought about it before. i know at night they seem brighter. something to do with wave length?? although trucks seem to be using led tail lights a lot now, are they the same type as we would use in blinkers?

i realise using led for brake light isnt as bright as normal bulb, but i thought that happens is due to the red lens? but now i have clear lens for indicators, so thought led would be brighter den normal bulb, just my thought

Try putting LED blinkers in and test it during the day, very hard for see and from a distance you can forget it. Had so many people throwing abuse at me so I switched back lol.

Works great at night though.
