You guys do realize that you can replace the city lights with incandescent amber bulbs...which is what I did for under $10.
Did you have an issue with hyper flashing and did you have to use a load resistor to stop it?

City lights don't flash. LED turn signals require either load resistors or a replacement flasher unit (better solution)
We need more information on this Max. What type of flasher is the better option and where is the flasher located on the bike.
Thanks in advance.

Of course we do but what fun is that? Besides, the cool LEDs only cost $13/pair.
Are these a direct replacement for the city lights? And where do you buy them?
Should be plug and play. I ordered some and they'll be here tomorrow.

I installed these yesterday and they are indeed plug and play. They look great and are WAY brighter than the stockers. The light pattern is perfect too.
The install was easy and only took a few minutes. Just pop out the 4 push pin rivets, remove the panel, then pull the old bulbs out. The only issue I had was reinstalling the rivets, I broke one. Fortunately I had a replacement.
Yeah, I broke one, too, this last time. Used it anyway, just doesn't work as well. I have a love/hate relationship with plastic rivets. They hold well and usually are easy to work with, but sometimes they are a pain to get in or out, and sometimes break.
Prob cuz the yellow ones are way too big.
Why yellow and not the white ones?
Because white is a total waste of time. Seen from a distance, the white lights don't show, they just merge into the headlights. At least with bright yellow, it offers some contract as running lights. That tends to increase visibility and conspicuousness, and that improves safety.
