Mr. C

 

looks great:thumbup

 

Whats the part number for the LED parking lights at that website you mentioned? I cant seem to locate em.

thanks

 

I have the direct link, and it doesn't seem to be working right now, they might be doing server maintenance or whatnot, but this is what I had, it might come up later:

http://www.surplusled.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=LED194T13-6W-12V&Category_Code=_AUT

If that link doesn't work, click the home page: http://www.ledtronics.com/ , scroll over products and then a drop down list will appear and then click on Automotive Products, it will take you here: http://www.ledtronics.com/markets/auto_index.htm. Then click on the T3.25 9mm Wedge Based Bulbs, or just click here: http://www.ledtronics.com/ds/AUT67/default.asp#9mmwedge, its the one in the middle, Series WF3126 and they come in White, Blue, Red and Green. I am using this Part #: LED194T13-6W-12V

You'll have to check with sales, on this page it states something about minimum order is 2 and thats what you need anyways for the parking lights on the R1. The first link I mentioned is a different site of theres and it does have individual single sales, hopefully it will come back up soon. Either way, you'll be able to get them from them directly, on one site or the other.

I've also just now sent LEDTronics an e-mail to confirm an easier link for ordering purposes, if anyone is interested and I'll post it up as soon as I get that.

you can see the light all the way down the road shining on the corner house... Super write up

 

Sweet bro, Good looking bike :thumbup Now I have my mind set on this mod next!

 

Nice!!!! Best pics of HID so far.....

 

what camera do you use? The pics are f**in clear

 

Thanks, I'm using the Nikon D80, in manual mode of course.

:thumbup

 

This will be the first mod for my 07 R1.:thumbup

 

Your just like my ex gf, always costing me money...LOL

 

Tell me the reason why were not together anymore, LOL, you spent too much money on the bike!!!! :sing:

JK!!!

 

Just ordered mine, went with 6000k. Told them that Cali07R1 basically sold em with his amazing write up lol. Cant wait to get em on there! :flex:

 

I went to that ledtronic site and it said for 2 bulbs it was gonna cost around $57 is that right?

 

Ive been using SuperbrightLEDs.com for mine and they're priced well and service is good. Site is a little confusing at first , but it also gives you CAD drawings of the dimensions on each bulb. Handy if your not quite sure what will fit :thumbup

 

Looks great Carlos, nice work. Let me know if you need anything else. I'm getting really close to having the adjustable fender eliminators for the '07. I just got some prototypes off the machine. I'll send one over to you when they're ready.

 

Thanks Gregg!!!

:thumbup

I'll be more than glad to get the new items onto the R1, and I'll get some updated pics as well. Also, the other items are being shipped back to you today.

Mr. C

 

Here's the scoop, there .com site expired and now there rebuilding there surplus led site as a .net and that will take sometime, so in the meantime, per Jordon at LEDTronics:

For now they could call in and ask for Yolanda in SurplusLED sales dept to
order the LED's that you used, but they need to know the part
number of the LED they want to buy. 800-579-4875

For the LED's that I am using, heres the part #: LED194T13-6W-12V

Let me know if there are any issues at all and I will look into it ASAP.

:thumbup

Mr. C

 

so how much is it for just two????

 

Before the surplus site went down, I want to say that they were $3.95 each, which is far better than the PIAA alternative that I was looking at which was over $20.00. Anyways, double check by calling that number that I provided earlier above.

:thumbup

Thanks,
Mr. C

 

I just ordered the leds now I have to get the HID's you guys always make me spend money lol just my excuse.....

 

I'm pretty sure that the earlier R1"s use the 194 bulb as well for the parking indicator, and as the '07 does. Can anyone confirm this? If it does then the part # is the correct LED for your application as well.

So how much were the LED's anyways, so to let everyone else know as well?

:riding

Thanks,
Mr. C

 

i ordered from superbrightleds.com like Lexuspartsdude had mentioned and they were 1.50 a piece.

 

I hope I purchased the right ones.... What kelvin did you get those hid's and in the pic is your high beam on? because on the picture from the side facing the instrument cluster there looks like there is a reflection of the high beam light.

Nice avatar by the way.

I got the 6,000 Kelvin Kit. My high beams were never own in those pics. If your referring to where its a pic of the bike from behind, and you see a slight light, those are the LED's (parking indicator) only. If your looking at my cluster, that green, is just the indicator of the bike being in Neutral. And the blue that you see being reflected off of my painted windscreen is just the cluster reflection, no high beams are on, otherwise you would see a big yellow tinge in the pics.

Hope that helps, or clarifies it, if not just let me know.

Peace.

Thats cool, Super Bright was one other vendor that I contacted, but they declined to send any product samples so I could post up the info in this thread. LEDTronics was a direct referral from Gregg's Customs and I used them since I had a great recommendation from Gregg and they sent samples as well, and these have lasted far longer than anything that I have used up to today. Basically with the A & R MotorSports HID Kit, the LED's that were provided free of charge in there kept on failing (going dead) and I had to replace them like 3 times on each side and put new LED's in and I even dropped the stock OEM 194 bulbs on the ground a few times and they still worked. For some reason the A & R LED's kept on failing, but he's working on getting a better replacement to be part of the kit.

I don't back up products that I don't test out or review first hand, but if those LED's from Super work out for you and they don't go dead after your first ride, then please post up here and let us know, since they are cheaper than what I recommended. Personally, I think the extra buck or two is worth the fact that I don't have to worry about having one or both go out on me and having to replace them again and again (knocks on wood). I believe the A & R ones were based for Automotive purposes, but for the interior of a vehicle, and kept on failing due to the heat/vibration etc since they were being used for a different purpose than what they were designed for.

Try out the Super Bright ones and let us know how they work out for you.

The more options the better!!!

:thumbup

Peace.
Mr. C

 

How long have you been running the LED's? I bought some from superbrightleds.com, but the led's would burn out one by one.. maybe they lasted one month per bulb, kind of disappointing.

 

I have had them for about a week now I ride a lot and no problems..... If i do i will let you know.

 

By the way Cali07, i wanted to thank you for your write up on this. I was on the fence about HID's, but after you posted up and had pics , i ordered my 6000k kit and installed it last weekend , it rocks. Couple of the guys i ride with mentioned they were amazingly bright last night, then they made me right up front. :rock
