Can these be modified to fit the s40?http://m.ebay.com/itm/AMBER-DUAL-FILAMENT-CHROME-METAL-BULLET-LIGHTS-PAIR-12-...

You can use this method to mount any signal with wires thru the bolt to the stock locations.

Do you need to replace damaged stock turns signals.....or are you going for a different look?

Front

I actually have a set of those that I got when I was doing the "I need MORE light!" experiments. They are better than most of their peers. They are chrome plated steel and the plating looks good, and have a gasket between the lens and the case plus a gasket/anti vibration pad between the light and the mounting surface. I have a very similar pair with different lenses that bolt directly to my rear fender as part of a turn signal relocate plan. Mine are made for 1156 bulbs so they are one wire though.

I eventually converted them to 2 watt LED daytime running lights for the front of the Honda. It's a pretty solid unit.

So far as i know, on a dual filament 1157 bulb, when one filament is on, the other is off. This may not be true in all applications, but that is the way they work when used as signals on my Honda. I cant recall if the lower watt filament stays on in the back brake light application.

So, to answer your question....you want to "hot up" both the 8 watt filament and the 27 watt filament at the same time, all the time, yes? Seems like a waste of power. The 1156 and 1157's cost virtually the same, so I would just hook up the brighter filament an cut the other wire off and tuck it.
Electrically speaking, no...there is no reason you cant do that...but they will draw a max of 35 watts each (yikes) and you may burn the lenses. These are not huge light assemblies, and the bulb takes up much of the interior room.

I can post a pick of one sitting next to say.....a quarter and a pack of smokes so you can see what you are dealing with in size.

As I said...I switched out the original bulbs for LED's and have no heat worries.

Note to Dave: I can appreciate the caution. I have bought at least 6 different sets of aftermarket turn signals to do experiments with and some of them are just downright crappy. This particular set is all steel and with the exception of one of the bulb sockets being off-center (easy fix), they are heavy and come with a vibration/seal at the mounting point and are water tight. Putting 1.8 - 2 watt red LED bulbs in them make them easily daylight visible.

Same company, different lens style..

I provide this caution, as I have been on group rides in the daylight and seen a lot of aftermarket and stock turn signals on bikes.  Some of the aftermarket turns signals folks put on their bikes are absolutely worthless in daylight or direct sunlight.  If you are looking directly at the light you may be able to see that it is flashing - but they are not bright enough to get the attention of a distracted driver.  Same thing for some aftermarket brake lights (especially cheap LED lights)....the brake light just doesn't attract attention.  The really good lights just can't be made for $ 15.......you most likely will have to spend quite a bit more to get a light that protects you as well as the stock DOT approved lights do.

I also feel the same way about the owners of cars and truck that put the smoked covers over their turn signals and brake lights.....it really cuts down on the amount of light that comes out and makes the lights harder to see.
