| Yes, you can use 1157 LED turn signal bulbs in the rear. But you also need to add Load Resistors in the wiring to stop the signals from hyper flashing.
Yes, you can find LED replacement bulbs for the H7 headlight bulb. However the Silverwing headlight lens/reflector wasn’t designed for LED bulb so while the light will be brighter the pattern may not be as efficient as when using an H7 bulb. IIRC Sylvania has some very bright H7 bulbs —if that helps you.
There have been quite a few discussions about converting to LED bulbs here on the forum. You’ll find lots of that information by using the Search or Advanced Search functions. |

| They used to have a HID kit for the Wing that worked well but was spendy. I never got it as I seldom drive that much at night. The only LED bulb on my scoot is the license plate bulb and that is because I had an extra bulb from another project...LOL |
