    Upgrades to Tiger 955i dash lights which are known to be pathetic, with LED's - photos show before and after of dash lights, difference between LED and standard sidelight bulb and the T5 (x8 qty) and T10 (x5 qty) bulbs side by side.
    Make your own mind up if its worth it :p note - I can read the standard clock and see the indicator light now !

    The clocks stay in place. You just remove the cowling to get at the back of the instruments. Indicator light may be a problem as the flash rate will change and resistors will be needed.

    Curious - never thought it might need a relay - just removed the fairing, gives access to the back of the clocks although some need unbolting to get to the bulb, simply swapped standard bulbs for LED replacements and all worked fine - maybe i was lucky !
    Still working after a few weeks so Im happy enough
