I use 'superbright' LEDs when building custom instrument panels on bikes. They work great and handle vibration issues better than incandescent bulbs.
I bought some LEDs for the P-cars but haven't installed them yet. For me the gauge faces are my main concern, but was planning on replacing
all the incandescent bulbs 'while I was in there'.
Interesting note about the turn indicators staying 'on' ... also the alternator light info
I don't know why the turn indicators would have this problem ... they're just switched through dry a set of dry contacts on the flasher relay, no?
Is the problem that they 'flash' when the signals are used, then remain on afterwards,
or that they don't 'flash' at all, just stay on all the time?
... and on the alternator light issue, does the alternator light circuit have a varying voltage that makes the LED inappropriate?
