6V LED bulbs?

Anyone know where i can get some LED bulbs to replace the incandescents in my CB125T? Its a 6V electrical system. I want to replace most of the the bulbs with LED's, because at night the charging system cant keep up with the brake light, head light and blinkers all on at the same time. I went through and tried to clean up the electrical the best i could, and it got a bit better (I get about 2 hours of full lights instead of 1) but its still not great. LED's to take the load off would be ideal, but since i really, really suck with electrical id prefer to buy them rather than make replacements myself.


Im in Toronto if theres a place locally, i was thinking about checking out one of those custom light shops, got a couple of cards at the bike show in january, but i have a feeling they will charge me an arm and a leg for simple ready-made bulbs. Ordering a bunch from online would be best i think. And i know i will need to replace the flasher, i got an electronic one for something else i was doing, and it should fit right in i think, otherwise theyre only a couple bucks at partsource.


If it makes a difference, i need replacements for these:


Headlight: 6v 35/35W
Parking Lamp: 6v 4W
Brake light: 6v 21/5W
Signals: 6v 10W
Instruments: 6v 3W and 6v 1.7W


And theyre all the standard honda press in and twist style with the 2 locator nubs.
 
Thats perfect. Doesnt look like they have one for the tail light, but i can probably leave the incandescent in there as long as i switch out the other bulbs. Thanks.
 
go to A1 Electronics on North Queen (across from sherway gardens) I just bought some 6V the other day for my moped:

Bring one of everything you need with you, it will make it easier to get what you need correctly. Also consider the orange lights if you have an orange lens because otherwise they look more blue.
 
Awesome, even better! Im down on north queen once a week or so, i know where that place is, never knew they had LED's though. Ill ride the bike out there and switch the bulbs in the parking lot lol. Thanks man.
 
Superbright has them for the taillights too. I run them on my old enduros for tail, blinkerand instrument lights. Work perfectly. They don't work right for the blinker indicator for some reason.

You will need loadresistors if you run them in your blinkers, or, get the 12 volt electronic blinker module they sell, which works fine on the 6 volt system!
 
So i went to A1 and they only had the 9mm bayonet bulbs in 6v... So now im back to ordering from superbright... I still cant find the tail light i need on that site though, i need a 15mm bayonet base dual contact, but it doesnt seem like they have any that will shoot light 180 degrees... at least not in 6V...
