The KDX taillight socket accepts an 1156 bulb.

I don't recall the name of my particular LED.  I had to special order it from schucks.  They had a number of LED 'replacements' on the shelf..but an 1156 wasn't one of 'em.

The base didn't fit.  I had to file some on the retainer nubs to get it to lock into the socket.

I didn't notice any huge difference in headlight output with the 1156L ('L' for 'LED') taillight installed.  There is one, though.  You can't 'save' a couple of amps and not have it make a difference.

I don't know if there is rectification in the LED piece, or is just 'works' on the top half of the sine wave.  It works.  Not killer bright...but it works.

JCW:  Thanks for the tip.  No, I didn't realize it came in two versions.  I thought it was just a matter of whether the fluid was added from the [b]top[/b] or the [b]bottom[/b] of the lens.  Learn something every day I guess.

What's the electrode size on the onobtainium-laced plug?  It's a fine-wire I presume?

Running winter air in summer tires will make your bike run rich.  You [b]must[/b] change it if you want to keep on any sort of performance 'edge'.  If you don't mind a bit of spooge, don't worry about it.
