Does anyone own a set of the Oxford LED Indicator range? I'm trying to figure out if these would be compatible for my XT 125 X. I emailed Oxford but haven't had reply. I know the indicators state that they are universal but I'm not sure how accurate that is. The thread size (diameter) on the current indicator bolt is only 5mm. Was wondering if anyone that already owns a pair could confirm the thread size.

Hi i`ve also been looking for a set of rear led indicators for my DT not sure about the Oxford`s but some a/market ones i`ve seen they flash faster and need resistors,i`m even looking for the normal standard clear ones and can`t find anywhere at the mo,good luck :spin2:

ive got these on my dtr http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bike-It-Mini-Indicators-Short-Stem-In-Black-With-Clear-Lens-Pair-/221045128080?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item337750fb90

they do them in short stem, long stem with clear or smoke colour lenses,very bright and decent quality - no need for new indicator realay or resistors

sparky67, If it's LED, you'll need a new flasher relay or resistors. I would personally change the relay so I'm not having to place resistors anywhere (if not built in). I came across this relay on eBay, should be OK by the looks of it: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150951373786?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Damn 8mm bolt fixing, is this the standard size or have I measured the bolt size wrong on my XT?

I don't really mind if it's LED or not, I just don't like the shape of my indicators :(

We have electronic relays, resistors and 'tweak kits' if you have problems with all the lights coming on at once.

An electronic relay is the best option as it uses less power and is very easy to fit. Resistors place the same load on the circuit so the old mechanical relay still works.

You would need a relay or resistors for the LED bulbs due to power consumption only being around 0.3W. As far as I know, you won't require anything for the number plate light since it's constantly on. The only worry there would be that the power being too much for the LEDs but I doubt that would be that much of a problem.

Yes you would need resistors. Also I would not buy Chinese stuff. I know its cheap and they might be OK. However experince tells me that they fall to bits or stop working after a short period of time.

If you have a relay and can fix them to the bike then they will work! All that will happen without an LED relay or resistors is that they will flash a lot quicker than they should.

They look like the standard ones from a dt? I think i paid around £15 for some mini arrow head indicators with normal bulbs and no leds from M&P.

That's exactly what I have at the moment. Don't really like the oval shape, hence why I'm looking at the Oxford range. I might just have to risk £34 for a pair and hope they fit :(.

if say thats not a bad price - try looking up the OEM cost for indicators, I'd bet they are nearly that EACH!
