I understand your concerns, but I only buy LED from reputable vendors.
If you notice, the LED's or on the top and the side where they need to be. I feel safer, since the stocks look dim compared to the Led
One good thing about buying from reputable vendors, you can return them. All my vehicles have LED.

Vleds site is better than most, but here is an example of typical spec inconsistencies that even they have- if their bulb has 21 x 0.5watt LEDs (which is 10.5 watts), then how can the spec of the bulb be 14.5V x 340mA, which is only 4.93watts?
Could be an inconsistency, or they may be under driving them in that particular bulb because they can't keep the diodes cool. If the junction temperature goes way up at full rated current some LEDs produce less light, not more. Shorter life, too.
I am replacing the turn signals with LEDs and ordered the LED compatible flasher recommended in the first post. It has a 2-wire pigtail coming from it, but when I look at what I think is the flasher on the bike, behind the right rear panel near the rear brake reservoir, it has 3 pins on it.
These are not the same. Do I have the wrong replacement or am I looking in the wrong place for the flasher?
Thanks. I did find that after posting this so I panicked prematurely.
Now with the electronic flasher if I turn the bike off while the flashers are on then the fuel pump and instruments pulse in time with the flashers until I turn the flashers off. There must be some backfeed somewhere, so I just have to remember to turn the flashers off first.
Hmm, I haven't tried THAT before. If I can remember, I will try it out.... but remembering is the hard part. Sounds strange.
I can say I have been using my model flasher for almost a year now and it has been working very well. Someday, if some company EVER comes out with LED bulbs that work/fit, are at least as bright as incandescent, and have a proper dispersion pattern, I will switch to them. Been waiting 5 years....
They're $18. The web address is below.

This is extremely interesting. So much so that I just put two pair in my cart...
