Hello again all.
I've been after some rear LED lights for my strom for some time now rather than the standard bulbs etc, but I found a few problems (of which I've now overcome) and thought I'd share my experiences.
The rear lights on the Strom are both running lights and brake lights as they come out of the box. The bulbs are standard dual bulbs. For me, I fancied something a little brighter, like LED ones.
I first got a couple of LED bulbs that just replace the normal glass bulbs... that didn't work. The first set didn't get any brighter when I pressed the brakes and the although the second set did appear to work correctly, the bulb was slightly larger and would fit back through the housing in the lense...
My next option was a quick search of the net, and I found a complete rear light for the V-Strom for less than £15 brand new. It seemed too good to be true but I ordered it anyway and crossed my fingers.
In short, in arrived, looked great. Took me an hour to install and does the job great.
So, for those of you our there wanting the LED bulbs (Other than the ones that Kirky does... and they are great too by the way... I have those fitted too), there is a solution.
I've put some pics on the post below to help anyone else that might be trying to attempt the same.
Hope it helps.
