Need BRIGHT LED bliinkers - recommendations?

[VladTepes]

I have LED blinkers on my bike which look really nice.... BUT a few mates on rides have mentioned that they aren't very bright / easy to see in daylight.

On one hand I know car drivers don't take any notice of us anyway.

On the other hand it's probably better to have good visible indicators !

Can anyone recommend any LED indicators which are nice and bright?

Randomly choosing some from ebay or wherever is a complete lottery...

I use those: https://goo.gl/bgv660
And they are really bright, even they are pretty small.

get them on ebay, but could not find them there anymore.

i found that the standard indicators fitted with smoked lenses seam much brighter than standard lenses .
a direct swop from a gsxr750 i think.

i only see people having problems with led indicators especially as the uk is such a rainy place.

How many LED's have yours got in them Mike?   I've just this morning (about 30 min ago) ordered some off e-bay, & think they're like yours! Geez, I hope these ones are bright, have a set on now & only 9 led's, they work, but not bright enough during the day. 

You had (have) the tear drop shape with a hole in the center ? Yeah?  I see this style come in 11 & 20 LED. I've ordered the ones with 20 in them, figure they should be much brighter than the 9 ones I've got - I know, I know, it all depends on the LED as to how bright it is, but 20 has gotta be better than 9.  So, have you got 11's or 20's that are too dim?

Thx

Yeah they look really good on the bike, very chic, but that's not a lot of use if they aren't visible when operating.....

It appears that half the led's in them have failed already.  On the LHS only the top portion is working not the bottom set - around the 'hole' if you follow....

I think mine are the 20s as it looks like maybe 9 or 10 are lighting only. But I'll double check later.

edit:  actually 12's !

I've got Rizoma LED indicators on my Bandit..Mega bright but also mega expensive.

Just checked the price and they are now £43 EACH!!!

Hahaha screw that!

@northern  thanks mate I also couldn't find them on ebay... they do seem a bit expensive the link you provided though, (for four - two pairs - it's USD $91 with shipping, or 121 Aussie shekels )  .... wish I could get them somewhere else...

Yeah I have pretty much these 12 LED ones   http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/4x-12LED-Motorcycle-Motorbike-Turn-Signal-Indicators-Lights-Lamp-Amber-Universal-/131890019240?hash=item1eb541fba8:g:QaEAAOSwZVlXmCor

The front ones are doing OK but quite a few of the led's in the rear ones (more vibration?) have failed.   I'll take  a few pics and attach them soon.

My son had those on his DRZ400 Vlad...They didn't last a month before the LED's started failing one by one.

[VladTepes]

lol froudy beat me to it.  See pic above !

lol froudy beat me to it.  See pic above !

Yup..That's what his did too

We've both gone back to OEM indicators now...Smaller ones though.
Newer GSX-R and Gladius units are quite small and work very well.

I use these on mine:

Also available on Amazon.
Very small and barely visible when not in use but when flashing they're the brightest I've ever come across.

Thanks lads.

@bigian14 - nice and bright eh? Good to know. How long have you had yours on? No issues?

@northern  - an easy fix occurred to me.  Just take those off your bike and post them to me..... 

@V_i_c_i  - As that page is translated from German I'm not sure whether that is PER indicator or per pair ?  If it's per indicator then they are bloody expensive AND there is only 1 left in stock !
