Has anyone replaced stock globes in tail light with LED? Is it worth the effort?

@VladTepes has 'cos I sent the ones I sourced and used out to him down under and I understand he did fit them. And yes, IMO it is worth it, they are much brighter and easier to see in daylight/sunlight from behind than standard bulbs

I've fitted rear LED's and they are definitely brighter (I only ride in daylight) so will be much brighter at night. For £10 they are worth it in my opinion as they will obviously help you to be seen and who knows, prevent an idiot from shunting you up the back end.

Ill get some Narva ones tomorrow. Not really interested in changing whole unit.

On the bulbs I fitted the actual globe itself was just lightly larger than the hole in the taillight unit and I had to run a round file around the fitting. It was literally just a fraction of a millimetre, but so you know " just in case"

@grog I've probably changed 30-40 tail light bulbs over 19 years of ownership. Maybe I'm too rough on the gear  :happy1:

Yes I do and yes I have and I'd definitely recommend them.
