Buddy 125 LED Front and Back Turn Signals
Has anyone found a set of LEDs for the front and/or the back turn signals with the resistor built in that fit? I have been looking all over, mainly online, for a set. I am trying to avoid putting in a resistor for the front or the back.
I found this one for the front turn signals
https://www.amazon.com/OXILAM-BAU15S-Re ... B07RMX2XK6
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm new to this but just about an hour ago I installed in my 2008 buddy 125 these for signals https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0739 ... UTF8&psc=1 and to stop the hyperflash I purchased the heavy duty flasher relay from Vanagon. Seems to be alright and everything fit good. Also installed these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0721 ... UTF8&psc=1 for the dead lights with conversion from Vanagon

Ask around here for what LED bulbs people are running then swap out the stock flasher relay. No resistors needed.
This is is good relay

These worked but too big
https://www.amazon.com/OXILAM-BAU15S-Re ... B07RMX2XK6
They worked fine with out a resistor in place for the front but they are bit too long, that round dome at the end makes them just too big. But they don't hyper flash.

There's usually enough resistance in one set of OEM incandescent blinkers to not hyper flash when the other set of bulbs is replaced with LED's. Once you replace both sets with LED's, that's when it'll happen.

Ah, my bad. I was mistaking when you have 3 sets of blinkers (dots, deads and rear). Yes, replacing one of two sets with LED's can cause hyperflash. This occurs when there's not enough resistance in the system. On an unmodified scooter, the hyperflash is to let you know that one of your blinker bulbs has burned out.
The electronic relay I recommended keeps the flash rate with any combination of incandescent or LED bulbs.

For the back turn signal and the dead lights I was looking at these.
https://www.amazon.com/EverBrightt-10-P ... r=1-7&th=1
Finding a R10W/BA15s bulb that fits is rough. Anyone have any suggestions?

One more thing, I think I have finally found some BA15s/R10W bulbs that will work in the deadlights and the tail turn signals.

I ordered some today and will post results.
