New to the forum and new to the PCX - dealer received the red 150 yesterday, picking it up on 9/14!
Though traffic dies way down after summer here at the Jersey Shore, we do have a considerable senior population on the roads. Even though I've a hi-viz vest and jacket, even a white helmet, I've been looking into swapping out the turn signal, tail and headlamp bulbs for brighter LED versions.
Anyone have any thoughts and/or experience with them? Any issues? If positive, know of a good U.S. place to purchase?

Re: LED replacement bulbs
If you straight-swap for LED bulbs, the bulb flasher won't work properly for the turn signals. It needs some form of resistance across it (like a traditional bulb) or they will just turn on then go off.
As for LED taillights, there's some here: http://japan.webike.net/HONDA/PCX125/El ... model-top/

Re: LED replacement bulbs
Alternatively it might be possible to change the flasher relay for an LED specific one.
