I fitted the ones that are supplied by  Classic Car LED's as recommended by a member I did post the part numbers on a previous post. You will need to zoom in for the colours. The colours are in the left side of the columns.

They fit and are good quality so should last for many years.

Great info Ted,
Many thanks - I might try green and white to compare.

Get a long led strip and you can fit them underneath the frame ...  very gangsta!

The Green works really well for the instruments, on the idiot lights white is needed but can't remember which one for certain - I think its the orange lamp that needs white & blue main beam. Someone here will know a little bit of delecacy is needed when fitting the bulbs in the bulb holders due to the exposed nature as they are not fully  encapsulated.

Ted, the ones I listedbefore you are fully encapsulated - should that be of interest  ;) I also matched the colours to the idiot lenses .....

I did a full review on those bulbs when I first bought them a few years ago.

According to ClassicCarLEds the bulbs are wavelength sensitive, so for instance fitting white below a red filter isn't great, fit red below instead.

I would recommend getting a pair of the LED headlight bulb also featured in that thread, everyone who has ever seen them in real life has bought a pair, great if you have 2 bikes or buy with a mate and split the pack and the cost.

My experience of those in your link has not been good - very dull but they might have improved when I bought some about 5 yeas ago. They are forever improving so might be good.
