Tried that trick . I wound up throwing the lenses out , still not
bright enough in daylight . It has a lot to do with the narrow light
spectrum from LEDs. There are LED replaements that will do the job but
they cost a LOT more than 15 bucks.
I DO have some LED SAE approved tailights that work real well on the
G-5 (Same basic shape) But they are still down a bit from tungsten in
daylight. .

| I know a few of you had ideas on recoloring the faded tail light lenses but I actually could use 3 faded ones. I like the red LED taillight bulbs but they are are a bit brighter in the faded lenses than a normally colored one. I'd offer to trade my non-faded but a couple have small cracks in them. If anyone has any faded lenses they'd like to sell, contact me off-list. JB |
