LED INSTRUMENT LIGHTING FOR SV650 1999 t0 2002
LED instrument lighting
Dodgy from svdownunder forum has come up with this just though i would share with you. - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- QUOTE DODGY A couple of instrument lamps blew recently, so I decided to upgrade with Blue LEDs... Here's how I did it.  I used 'P4' or 'SuperFlux' or 'Pirhana' LEDs. The name varies with the supplier. The ones I had were 60 degree Blue, I think 90 Degree ones would have been better.  I bent the leads around the body on one side, there is a corner cut off one side to indicate the cathode (negative) connection. The little dome is the lens. The bent tabs are soldered onto the pads that the original lamp bases clipped into.  There is a 220 ohm resistor 1/4 watt (<$0.05) for each one. It goes from the other pad to the unbent leads in an 'S' to strain relieve it.  Here's roughly what it looks like, 90 degree LEDs would have made the coverage more even... |

Bringing this one back to the top as I was sure a few wanted to know how to do this and I was asked a few times if I did a kit for this bike. Sorry I don’t intend to but I have shown you here how to do it. This type of LED over here are called PARANA. I was surprised I had no replies, has the pimping seen gone dead now. Or is it left to the boy racers and 1.1 Nova drivers?
