Polarity sensitive

Post by wa1nca »

All the bulbs listed above are not polarity sensitive
They will work positive or negative earth

I did not check the 1156 and 1157 12volt bulbs as I didnt order any

If you need 12volt 1156 1157 positive earth I sure they have them

Thanks Tommy, I'll look into those.
I wasn't aware that they made LED's that were ambidextrous, so to speak.

Adding bar-end signals to my 6volt R50/2. Have the NON-Hella signals that use 36mm festoon bulbs. Has anyone used the "flashicator" leds from dynamoregulatorconversions.com? This option makes the lamps flash by themselves without the wiring involved with the timer/relay.

He is a very nice person and knows his stuff, including our BMW's! So, if he offers those, then I am sure they will work. My 6V R69S has no bar-end lights, but all my bulbs are his LED's and they work perfectly since I bought them about 5 years ago. (And what a bright headlight!)

Thought I would update the thread after buying the "flashicator" LEDs from http://www.dynamoregulatorconversions.c ... -bulbs.php
The lamps fit into the bar-end signals and flash brightly. I chose to not install a timer/relay and just run 6 volts from the direction switch I had directly to the signals. Just trying to keep as much out of the headlight as possible. My experience with 6 volts and relays has not been very "bright" and I just want to be as visible as possible.
