Ryan I suspect your choice is going to be pretty limited on side indicators. The size of the bulb will be one of the critical things as the space afforded to the side indicator bulb is not going to allow for some bulb types.

Stan, which bulbs did you go for in the end, the 30watt or 50watt? And could you supply the link? |

i went for the 50watt ones prop mainly because of the extra cree's on the side of the bulb..

@Prop, i agree with what you say and tbh and i cant see great problem having a 50w cree instead of a 21w OE bulb as according to my crees specs ,they only draw a max of 400 mA which the ranges wiring will handle . i've looked but i cant find what current the OE 21w bulbs draw which would be a interesting comparison......

Amber LED side repeaters arrived from same eBay seller as the one who supplied me with 6 x main indicator LED bulbs (2 bought as spares).
