Been reading abit and have ordered these as a Turn signal upgrade
NEW 25W 7507/581/BAU15S/PY21W CREE LED CANBUS*** BULBS AMBER INDICATOR LIGHTS | eBay

Fingers crossed

 

[Derek]

At £25 the pair I wouldn't bother
You don't need canbus bulbs, any LEDs will work as long as they fit and are bright enough.

There are cheaper LED ones I agree, but its the `Cree` ones that are brighter, totalling 25watts Cree Leds with 570 lms its also important to have the side fireing Cree Chips as well as a rear facing one, so the Silver reflector bounces the bright light. Ill do a write up with pictures when they arrive and after installation.

 

[Derek]

I know about the Cree LED indicator bulbs, I have a pair from a previous bike but they don't fit the Scramber. They were only about 1/2 the cost of the ones you've ordered.

I can confirm that ............ They don't fit LOL !!
1: Wrong fitment, the pins on the Ducati Light are not diagonal they are 12oclock and 4 oclock.
I ordered the BA15S the Correct is BAU15S
2: These stick out too far so would not have fitted anyway

Back too the drawing board.
On a Plus note, I took delivery of the Scrambler 2 hours ago.
Allready fitted the rear Rack.

So...
Have now ordered these ones
2x Amber 9 SMD bulbs BAU15S INDICATOR SIGNAL BULB FRONT 581 PY21W LED | eBay

My goal is to have great Bright Turning Repeaters that other road users can see, a good bright Flash, not the lazy on/off

 

[Derek]

These will work and will hopefully be bright enough. I have similar ones fitted to my Scrambler.

I hope so, I saw that someone else had these, but another member said they didn't look any different ? ill do a Video of before and after, for future owners reference, as ive spent hours trawling ebay and bulbs ! LOL !

THeres are these ones,
2x Renault Scenic MK1 24-LED Rear Indicator Repeater Turn Signal Light Bulbs | eBay

which would fit, but getting pricy, after my £25 wrong fitment disaster, I'm now on a budget

Wrong fitment, the pins on the Ducati Light are not diagonal they are 12oclock and 4 oclock.

Yeah, that's the case with all orange bulbed/clear lens blinker lights afaik. It's to prevent you from accidentally using white bulbs which do have the pins at 12 and 6 o'clock. I guess it's a regulation thing.

To be honest, with the clear lens, the OEM blinkers don't even look that bad. But yeah, once you're relocating them

Quick question, does the Scrambler require resistors, or a different blinker relais when you install LED blinkers?

 

[Brian the [email protected]]

No, resisters as the blinker system is Digital and not based on the Watts

 

[Max Kool]

Thanks for the info

With the advent of COB LED's these should be much better :
