Guess I'll stick with the "icans', need the heat to keep the gauges dry 

That's what I was worried about too Duane, but sounds like the posts above indicate that our 'heat' may be the problem.   Hmmmmmmm?  spyder

My gauges still have moisture in them...................................

And will have more - going out to wash the bike now.

Already cleaned mine and just now planning another run up to that area this next week....didn't get to ride the twisties as much as you did.    har!  spyder

90% of the twisties we did were in TN and WV.

Indeed they were. I'm telling ya, my arms and shoulders were sore for a day or two.

After I split up with Kathy & Brian I took some back roads off of Skyline drive towards DC. I found a couple of country roads that were relatively straight - but they mad up for with the ups and downs - whoo hoo

All back together and I think it made a HUGE DIFFERENCE!

Looks great, just what these old eyes need thank you.

Did you replace the tach. and speedo. lights too or just the smaller instrument lights?

I believe the speedo and tach are sealed

Anyone add these to a 2010?  I saw someone said the 2010's are brighter then earlier years but mine seem alittle on the dim side.

i have heard that the 10's have brighter gauges all around. I replaced the 4 smaller gauges with the Superbrites wled-rh5 bulbs and they match perfectly with the speedo and the tach. And the are also very bright and the gauges are really easy to read.  You will love 'em.

Just changed out stock bulbs with the LED's referenced here and they came out great!  I bought five just in case one went bad and sure enough, I needed the spare, so if your ordering throw in an extra one or two as spares.

Being light disbursement is greater, even though led, does that mean more frequent replacement?

Where do you find the Wled-rh5 bulbs listed on their website?  Or maybe I copied the bulb # wrong.     spyder

Not sure there is any relationship between one and the other.  My dash lights are five years old and I can't see any reason why the LED's would not last just as long in this application.  Only time will tell, the results are worth it and the expense is minimal.
