help guys , can using 450micro farad capacitor solve the problem

Yeah, a lower value cap will discharge faster.

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.

thanks buddy will try it

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??

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?

I glued the LEDs underneath the numbers in the speedo dial.

A 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??

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.

Okay... thanx for the info

my Legend`s tail light

**rider_rock** · 08-09-2009, 10:36 PM

my speedo bulbs uses a.c power , how can i make L.E.Ds to work on it reply quickly guys, thanks

**abhijeet080808** · 08-10-2009, 02:17 AM

^^ Use a bridge rectifier together with a capacitor. That will convert AC to DC.

**rider_rock** · 08-10-2009, 07:34 PM

that ckt ,i have used for tail light , have to make it in different manner, or i may let the old bulbs to do the work

**abhijeet080808** · 08-10-2009, 08:15 PM

^^ Didn't get what you are trying to say. My tail light was AC too.. used a brigde rectifier (it has 4 diodes + 1 cap) to convert to DC. See the ckt on the 1st page.

**rider_rock** · 08-11-2009, 12:23 AM

there are 4 bulbs in the console 3 are of 2 watt & 1 of 4 or 5 watt, & each need it`s separate bridge rectifier ckt to light up one L.E.D, so dropped the idea

for indicator, high beam, side stand & neutral did you use single L.E.D[but in pulsar you have them powered by dc so there is no need for the ckt for each one of them]

**abhijeet080808** · 08-11-2009, 10:03 AM

Use power from any one bulb's wires. (And all 3 bulbs are 1.8W each.) Remove the bulbs from the other 2 holders and leave them as it is. And no. my neutral, high beam and other lights are still normal bulbs!

Change them too with the fattest LEDs.
