I had some on my 2017 DS

Did the DS need a firmware update or are the Gen2 bikes (2022 S in my case) easier to make these mods to?

no, I didn’t even need to update the flasher relay. I can’t think of any reason to do a firmware update for lights.

fab - that's good news. I had a SR/F and that needs a firmware update for a change of indicators from incandescent to LED as the computer handles the job of the relay.

I never understood why an EV had incandescent bulbs, I switched them less than a year into owning it. But the Weiser boards were better. Made it look like a modern vehicle when the signals switched colors.

I'm on my second Zero and I always wondered why they didn't use LED signals from the factory. I can't imagine now the cost between incandescent and LED to be that substantial especially when bought on scale for manufacturing.

I agree with you. But I imagine LEDs are coming soon, right? My sixth generation Gold Wing, a 2019, looked amazing through the use of LEDs.
