Which of these Turn signals should I go for?

A set of these, from different sites, but I believe they are both the same:




3x 1 watt Leds
20mm diameter x 41mm overall


or a set of these:


10x high powered SMT side facing LEDS - 1x 3 watt luxeon super high powered forward facing LEDS

20mm diameter x 52mm overall


Kinda like the 3 pronged lights, but I bet that 3 watt luxeon will be bright as hell.

No doubt, #2.

You'll get way more light just because that also has side facing LEDs, giving you more reflected light off the housing reflectors.

Post pics when you're done.

#2, but I would ask Kennedy, he is the expert for all this.

... Thanks Rocky!

and I've seen Lee's current setup.

Lee #1 is what you already have installed, except it these have a shiny new heatsink on top... but you will not experience any better ligth output from them.

#2 is new. I've tried the SMT tower II's a while back, and they're not bad, these are an improvement on those.

The problem that you and everyone else with cleared and blacked out headlights are having is you have NO reflector and NO diffuser.

Those Luxeon bulbs are silly bright, but the result when installed is a tiny dot that is silly bright. Without a proper diffuser, it's just not gonna look good.

I'm seriously gonna hack up the hole and do the switchbacks like Rodney posted.
