Recently I have been upgrading my three motorcycles with the lighting from quartz halogen to LEDs. On the RZ350, I will caution those of you doing this with the instrument lighting as the light over the low oil level in the injection tank will always be illuminated IF you put the LED bulb there.  :eek: :bang: You must put in the quartz halogen back in for that one bulb position and the oil level bulb will function as intended.  :clap:I also found those trick LED strobe tail light bulbs that Russ from Detroit (I don't know his member name here?) has been using. Some may think it's annoying but I think it is a safety bonus to cagers behind you. Hope this tip helps someone out..

100 ohm resistor should keep it off with low current

I upgraded all of the bulbs in my instrument cluster to LED, & the headlight.

I did not have any problems with them not working, or staying on?

LED's in the blinkers would not work, so I put resistors in, & fine.
