Anyone fitted Led tailight bulbs to their gen 1's..??
 
leds are low wattage output. This may confuse the bike/cars electrical brain and it thinks theres a fault. You'll need to find out if the T has a cambus setup, and if so you'll. need resistors to fake the electrical state to make the bike accept the led bulb.......i might be talkin kaka poo poo like! =)
 
No can bus system on the Gen1 T.
Depends which sort of led tail lights you mean.You can simply swap the 12v 21/5w bulbs with l.e.d replacements,or,.....there is another type available that has the indicators built in.Its basically a pc board full of l.e.d's that fits into the Gen1 rear lens.
Ive fitted l.e.d stop/tail bulbs to several bikes and never had a problem.(Well apart from an old Triumph where the dodgy wiring and vibration destroyed it.)You dont need any resistors for them to work.I usually fit the 24 l.e.d bulbs,like these.........

Not sure how legal they are,so there might be problems at MOT time and you may also have to replace the flasher unit or fit resistors for the indicators to work correctly.

Well Led bulbs fitted and no problems all works a treat, just as Keith says, they are direct replacements I usually do this to all my bikes as it saves blown bulbs when ur out and u don't have any replacements on ur person...
