I used led for the front turn signals when I added the Ermax windshield.  I don't remember where I got them from but they cost abt $40 for eveything.  I had to use a dremal tool to get to fit.  If I had it to do over I'd use regular bulbs.  Don't forget the bulb base is 150 degree not your normal 180

Tail light is a 1157 dual filament. Check out superbrightleds.com I got their most expensive tail light for my 250 and its BRIGHT!!! Just make sure you get red led, it shines brightest. Their best tail light led is like $25 but you shouldn't ever need another one, takes a lot of stress off the charging system too.

  I put a LED taillight in my People 150 and was very pleased. I wanted to do my GTI300, but you have to take half the scoot apart to get to it. I started but quit. Is their a easier way I'm not aware of?

Just pull out the bulbs, and get the numbers off of them. Or there is this...

You will also need an electronic flasher...

Depending on if you have a two or three wire relay that determines which one to get.
You have to replace all four blinker bulbs for this to work.

Thank you! My thought is, getting to the bulbs by removing all the plastic seems like a project so the LEDs will shine brighter for much longer.

So I will a flasher module for the turn signal LEDs?
I also want flashing module for the rear brake to alert drives behind me, is there such a thing?

Yes the flasher "module" or relay is for the LED blinkers. Your incandescent flasher will not work.

For the brake light...

Any time.

Heat shrink tubing always makes a permanent join for the wires, and a clean job.
Just sorta dawned on me...
