I did not go for LEDs in that way. Those LEDs will be very bright to be used as back-lighting in the console. I used normal LEDs. I glued one LED each under each digit(1, 2... etc, 10, 20 etc) of the console. Total of about 20 LEDs. I connected them together using resistors and powered them using the wires that power the original bulbs.Leave a comment:

abhijeet080808:Originally posted by abhijeet080808 View PostA normal speedo does not contain LEDs. They use 3W bulbs. I have installed the LEDs. It has few normal 5mm white LEDs glued to the underside of the speedo dial.
Here is a pic of a LED -
The 5mm LED I have used is the one at the centre. The rightmost one is 3mm and the leftmost one is 8mm.
I tried fitting the 5mm leds in my unicorn... but it did not work
duuno y?
Anyways, the Unicorn has one 3w bulb for the centre console and 4 smaller 1.7w bulbs for the other two side consoles...
I found a direct replacement for the 3W bulbs which worked...
DealExtreme: $7.25 T10 1.5W 75-Lumen White LED Light Bulb for Vehicles - Aluminum Shell (DC 12V) 2-Pack
DealExtreme: $3.59 6-LED 12V Vehicle Signal Lights (2-Pack White)
but nothing for the smaller 1.7w bulbs
Any suggestions??Leave a comment:

The general idea is described in the 1st post. Why don't you try something yourself and let us know what you come up with?Originally posted by bikerharis View Post
I glued the LEDs underneath the numbers in the speedo dial.Leave a comment:

Hi all .. any one can provide me a LED layout in bread board for my 95 model RX100's tail light?? Also how can i fit a LED for the speedo console??Last edited by bikerharis; 08-05-2009, 12:25 PM.Leave a comment:

Yeah, a lower value cap will discharge faster.Originally posted by rider_rock View Posthelp guys , can using 450micro farad capacitor solve the problem
Indicators flash due to a flasher circuit present in the bike. LEDs will flash too, but they may blink faster compared to bulbs due to change in resistance.Leave a comment:

Yes it is totally due to the capacitor. It takes a lil time to discharge completely.Leave a comment:

when you switch-off the light the L.E.D remains on for few seconds{5-7 sec} & completely goes off in 2 minutes, is this due to the use of capacitor or there is some thing wrong in my circuit, ie 4 L.E.D in series with 195 ohm resistance, 1000 micro farad capacitor 25v
or is this normal
