I just did this with www.superbrightleds.com. I had the Honda incandescent SLO bulbs but here in Germany I was afraid people would not be able to differentiate the brightness difference with all of the new tech bulbs and size of the Audi Porsche and MB lights.
They downright plug/ play, bright without the reflectors. I have single rectangular rear lights. They snap on and off

All the posts are right.
Simple, the LED's do not draw enough "Juice' For a normal "flasher" to work.
"Watson STREET WORKS", (INTERNET SITE) sells a small set of Resistors that are put in line for the front and rear lights. Simple fix and easy to do. (Split both "feeds" front and rear, install a resistor in each line-done)
Now there are new LEDs on the market that have the resistors built in but don't seem to be as bright, but are better than stock 1157's.
Bottom line, smart exchange, new vs. old and for anyone building a Cobra / Streetrod now.

If you visit a shop that specializes in the aux lighting for 18 wheelers and such, or a well stocked parts shop, or just search "LED Flasher" on the web, they make a flasher unit made for LED's.

The turn signal LEDs have been spoken about, how are the LED brake & tail light from the company's listed, are they plug & play or do you need to add something to the electrical system ?

I tried some, but they didn't appear to put out as much light as the incandescent...
Also in the rear thy wont work with the socket setup on my Kirkham. The bulbs are mounted so the light comes out of the side, and not the end.

Kevin the Brake lights are plug and Play. So you know, as if you didn't; American made LEDS are significantly better all the way around vs. the Imported ones - AKA Auto Zone etc.

Try this....you won't be disappointed!
Check out this link. I just did the conversion 2 weeks ago and the difference is amazing. Since the front lights seemed OK to me, I just changed the rear with the mod described. With standard #1157 lights up front and LEDs in the rear, there is enough resistance in the circuit for the flasher to operate correctly.
