HI all
have bought side light LED bulbs to replace my std one
a little on the dull side so have gone for the up grade
but for some reason they do not work any advice to why
many thanks Mark:nenau
 
+2 on polarity - if it's your parking light bulb - pull the bulb holder out and swap the two connectors around...........and you won't need a resistor for this.:thumb2

How come? Do the LED's have a resistor incorporated?

AFAIK, they don't. I bought a set of these and it was blinking like a christmas tree :)

Because you are talking about an indicator, and the OP is talking about a parking / sidelight. Resistors are only needed on parking lights for canbus equipped bikes.
