LED not working

[Everett]

I've replaced the 3 original bulbs on a 1975 Yamaha CR 600 with LED bulbs purchased from E Bay but after a few months, 2 of them have gone out and just the one that is attached to illuminate the slide mechanism for the AM/FM radio is working. Also , the LED's are not as bright as OEM from Yamaha. I'd like to obtain original , non LED's and install them. Does anyone have a suggestion on where to purchase these?

thanks.......Patrick

LED's from Ebay or many other may not be the quality you expect.

It could be the voltage regulator on your machine is not as good as it should be either.

Best bet would be nearest Yamaha motorcycle shop.

The original bulbs were incandescent. If the new ones are simple LEDs with no internal current limiting, they will burn up. Please post a link to the LEDs you are using.

I do not find ebay dependable. Try to purchase from an official distributor.

Unfortunately, the LED replacement bulbs bought from most sellers on eBay etc are built to a price, ie CHEAP!
Suggest you try some of the local auto shops to see what they have to offer.

Point! counterpoint!
To be fair!
I just sold my homing pigeons for the fifth time on eBay!
I have nothing bad to say about that.

Yes sir. Of course it depends on whom we are buying from.
