This thread may also help, oddly also the 5th post down to start with.

Dash LEDs

I replaced my standard bulbs a year of so back when all the speedo lights had final gone - made nightriding a bit guesswork.

Dismantling the dash is a bit fiddly but not difficult. Remove fairing, take out the clocks and then open up the clock box.

The bulbs for both the warning lights and backlights are T509 fit on a curvy (mines a 2002 SK2). I don't know if they are the same for a pointy but I suspect so.

I found LEDs on this website www.crazyleds.co.uk

They have both LEDs built into a T509 twistfit fitting http://www.crazyleds.co.uk/509T-TWIST-LOCK-LED.html or I bought pushfit 286 T5 LEDs to go into a T509 fitting (more colour options and a wider light spread) http://www.crazyleds.co.uk/286-T5-Capless-LED.html + http://www.crazyleds.co.uk/509T-twist-lock-holder..html The LEDs are about 60p each and the fitting 27p.

Coloured LEDs behind the warning light lenses work really well and I fitted blue backlights to the speedo/rev counter.

They've been in a for about 7000mls and no sign of any hotspotting

Reassembly is reverse of stripping but be careful in reassembling the clock box so as not to trap the seal between the two bits.

Could you put a photo up of your blue clock lights please?

Check the link in my post for an example, Rob.

Ta, very interesting thread by the way

Here you go.






The clocks has wide angle blue LEDs

The warning lights also have coloured LEDs for each behind the standard lenses.
