Maybe convert yours to motogadget - i am a convert - once id got the hang of it, its wasnt too hard plus its removed (i would say) about 70% of the old wiring and making it more reliable in the process...

I like to keep things simple and standard. Custom bike builder " Desperate Dan's" never used motogadget back in the 80's, they just used a 10p chocolate block connectors ;)

This invoice shows the ones I bought for my 500 as can't find my previous invoice - the SKU number shows the colour of the LED's

I fitted all LED to my silver 550, all of them blow within 6 month's . I even had to get Ash to make a box of tricks just to keep the LED on the number plate light. Now all back to standard bulbs apart from the number plate light ;)

Aside from cheap LEDs a few years back I've had no issue with converting to LED if the contacts are reasonably clean.
My Jeeps an old 55 plate all the festoon bulbs work fine as they did on our previous Jeep.

Your Jeep is a car and not a sohc Honda :o

Yes, i am aware of that Roo. But, other member do not. On my build i was advised by a member to put all LED's in and he reckoned they were the best thing since sliced bread. He knows who he is and forgot to mention that he had a M-unit and had upgraded every electrical component :o

I’ve only ever heard of issues trying to plumb in LED’s into old wiring, I was advised never to do it. If you’re going full LED’s it’s basically a rewire job. To save the grief.
Thankfully the lights on the Viffer are awesome so wouldn’t want to change them in the slightest. Wouldn’t want to go into that lot what with 3 computers, ABS management etc. the harness is a monster on this, I shall never grumble about having lack of access ever again on the CB’s, the Viffer is an utter pig to work on.

Maybe Ash should explain as, he found that they can't be just fitted and built me a box of tricks. He did not build a box of tricks for no reason ;)
ComfySofa:
Just had a chat with Roo on the phone - ive set the air/fuel screws but apparently i might have my throttle cables routed incorrectly....apparently theres a diagram somewhere...ive got my original manual here along with the Haynes but cant see it...yet! (they feel loose) but apparently its very critical.
