LED Bulbs for tail/brake light
 
Hi will LED bulbs work in the rear light of a k2 curvy instead of the originals. Do you need to change anything or can you just swap them straight over. Got a clear cover and want to fit some Red LEDs.
thanks

Thats what i want them for my existing bulbs have started to look a little pink instead of red now so i thought that seen as though i'm changing them i might as well upgrade.

only if the indicators are connected though. My SV has got one of those LED panels with indies, I just didn't bother connecting them up.


If you are going to get some LED bulbs (as in direct replacement) make sure you get some decent ones. I bought cheap ones and whenever I braked the clock lights came on. Only solved the problem by fitting some decent ones

Don't suppose you can remember where you got them from?

I usually get my bulbs from here, not the cheapest but always had good service from them
