    I wouldnt want it any bright than it s because you might get light bleeding through in other places.

    I cant get a pic of min for you in about one hour might look different than his
    Would be helpful cause his picture makes it look very very dim... Do you have a guide to getting the bulbs out?

      I dont have a guide on getting them out once you get the panel off the bike its pretty self explanatory I have never taken one off before and did it with no issues

      The photos aren't the best I couldnt get the shutter time right but that is in my dark shed with just the headlight on inside

      1. blurry but right on about the brightness

      2. not blurry but a little dim and red from me trying to cover the flash
      with my finger

          I just hope they're not to much or they dont fit its tight in there.

          Between the polarity of the bulbs being right or wrong and getting the cluster those are the hardest parts of doing it

            I used the cluster LEDs on my retrofit, worked great.

                  You used the 3 SMD it looks like.. I bought the 5 SMD... May project out to the right side better (i am guessing the bulb is on the left side based upon the bright spot in everyones photo)... Don't really care about the redline at night (know where it is)... Looks good.. May have to buy another set of the T6.5 and go ahead and pull the trigger on the 74x for the indicators...

                  Also should project on the needle better with the increased spread (atleast i hope)... We will see.. Right now the stock are getting yellow and gotta hate the idle flickering..

                    im not too confident about those leds listed on flebay. i bought those for my camry (shipped from hong kong and failed within a month or so. i think they were the 2 smd tall, had like 6 leds on each 194 style. some actually fell apart and others just flickered and decided only to work when they felt like it. im sure there is a lot more vibration on a bike than an old camry. i had to take my cluster apart to get the flat leds out that fell off.
                    just my 2 cents

                        It is the easiest if you take both sides off than you can do anything else you need while your there
