LEDs

Hi everyone,

I spent a lot of money on eBay to locate LED bulbs. Most of them were too directional, some were of poor intensity. I finally received some which are satisfactory, for Brake lights, Tail lights and High mounted stop light. So that part is solved.

However the person selling the lights does not have an Amber LED for turn signals.

My question is if anybody knows of good, bright and all direction Amber LED?

Second question is what is the general consensus on this forum to correct Quick flashing with LED turn signals. Electronic flasher or fitting resistor parallel to the turn signal circuit.?

Thanks in advance.

Decent prices for quality LEDs compared to the hit or miss LEDs of eBay.

Hay Kaotic Lazagna, thanks for the link. Looks like their 4th generation of the 20 LED bulb is the one I am looking for. Little pricey, but looks good.

Anybody out there has an answer to my second question?
