Its strange because my green bulbs work perfect, i guess it just depends how many layers of tint and lacquer you put on.

Iv just fitted some ULTRA LED Bulbs with resistors and they are flashing AMBER however, there not that bright. Especially in the sun..!!

 

Do you think the LEDS shown on page 1 are brighter?? Should i invest in them??

 

If so, will i need to get new resistors OR will the current resistors do the job??? :shrug:

Indeed they do supercharged

 

The trick is just finding the brightest bastards you can.

If you get those "tower" ones, they light up the entire internal section of the light which ends up bouncing into the lens and out.

Hey presto - incredibly bright led indicators, even when it's sunny.

 

If truth be told, I purchased these BECAUSE I had an issue with my other LED ones not showing up at all in bright sun, as you mentioned.

If you get decent bulbs, you'll get great results.

 

No soldering on the bulbs needed, just get bayonet cap.

Yes, buy amber ones.

You must also buy the resistor to solder on due to the low voltage (as discussed in the linked threads)

 

EBAY LINK - These are the items that I have (I think - please check this first)

Really good seller too!

 

Then buy the resistor and do this:
