Hi Blake,

A friend has one of these in his Guzzi V-11 Sport. The taillight
is *very* noticable [to the point of distraction] even in
daylight. The flashing brakelight is an instant attention
getter.

Here's one source of informaton:
http://www.led.net/datasheets/auto_index/auto_index.htm
. . . which has this note "For best results, LED lamp output
color should be same as Lens/ Filter color above the lamp". They
have a motorcycle-specific application which throws a white light
from around the lamp's base for license plate illumination.
Electrical Connection's website
http://www.electricalconnection.com/other%20lighting/led_replacem
ent_bulbs.htm
has similar a notation. They sell the rotating & standard
versions.
