    I have the tail tidy on and next I want some LED rear indicators and also I
    will fit LED bulbs to the mirror repeaters too.so can anyone recommend rear
    ones that are good and bright and also any good flash correction relays.

    cheers

    cheers for that, need to also pull the bulbs out
    of the front as the manual gives you no info about
    the bulb tyre i.e. offset location pins

    see I have the full manual but it gives the same info, 12v 21w but this doesnt say what
    pins they have so I thing the only way is to pull the bulb out.I want to put in led's in the
    front to get rid of the amber look. something like these 581 - 360 Degree Amber LED Bulb (pair)

    Phantom, would those LED bulbs require any other modification to go in the front indicators, or straight swap?

    should be a straight swap and if you have the standard rear bulbs
    the flash rate shouldnt be affected.....well wasnt on my
    last blade.
    I'll get them fitted then post the results here :)

    That would be smashing, Phantom. I'd like to replace my rear indicators with LED's too (and my tail light, come to think of it) so I shall be glad to hear of your experience.

    If you change the rear ones too then you will definitely
    have to change the relay for one of them flash correction ones.

    Fitted them today and far brighter than standard but even with the standard rear
    Flashers the flash rate is too fast.so I have to get the relay changed now

    Hi Phantom, nice looking clear front indicators, I've read the post and searched the forum for tips, I am going to buy 2 pairs and change front and rear as the shape of the OEM rears is ok for now as I can't find and led replacements that I really like... so my question is - is the indicator relay in the nose cone of the 08> Blade? I don't remember seeing it under the seat? Thanks
