I replaced the bulb in the running light above the headlight with this LED bulb from Superbrights.  It is very bright and provides a nice upgrade.  There is plenty of room in the housing so depth is not an issue.

It is the brightest LED miniature wedge base bulb that Superbrights offers. The old incandescent bulb looks like a candle compared to it.

And now you know why Zero doesn't provide LED lights all around.  They're expensive enough for most people already.
And it's not just the cost of the bulb. The headlight assembly was submitted for DOT approval by another manufacturer, I think Yamaha. The turn signals also look generic. I think Zero spent money on only the tail light for DOT approval.

I went with sequencial turnsignals with switchbacks. Easy install. And cost $7.99 plus two load resistors.

Can you please provide a link to the turn signals. I looked on Banggoods website but couldn't find those particular ones. Thanks
