    Without it, the brightness of the LEDs seems to be a bit less. Actually, it flickers very fast.

    So, I would say it is a must, but the value can be small though, like 10uF.
    Thanks yar.

    Next up why don't you try illuminated speedo needles?
    IMHO, I think the lack of brightness from the stock backlight has invariably made the needles invisible.
    It is actually bright enough. But yes, the needle can do with some brightness. Only, that I dont know where to get them from and if they can be fitted on my speedo.

    @fayad - Congrats. You got it working. Just get a clear lens cover if possible.

    Could not reply as I was offline!

    Thanx sajjt. Yes it is the old multifaceted type glass, the light from LED gets scattered,so you cannot know they are leds when viewed from some angles.
    And in the PCB which i got, the points are such that you cannot place the leds close, like abhijeet did..i wasnt aware of that when i bought it..

    Battery Gone??

    i just connected the led setup(only the brake lights didnt do the park light) to my unicorn and it is glowing without even applying the brake
    and when i appled the brake the brightness got increased.

    So i decided to check with a multimeter. It showed 11.5V without applying brake and 12.5-12.8 volt when brake was applied.

    And i noticed that reading in the multimeter was decreasing steadily. I once again connected the multimeter. this time the readings where 0V and 0V with and without brake. And none of my dc electricals are working-self start, hone indicator, rpmmeter etc...I cant understand what is happening..
    Is it the fuse blown or the battery got discharged?
