Running lights, LEDs, neons and the like?

[Scuba_Steve]

What color was your bike? and what color were your neons.. i'm tossing between white, blue, green...

The FXR is the green with blue glow & I have a VFR black with blue glow

I choose blue as red seen front illegal, white seen back illegal & green with green bike just seemed like too much green (but green in general doesn't look to bad)

Looks like blue is the answer thank mate.

I have these blue LED's on my scorpio, which look pretty good. Wiring is an absolute piece of cake, but in true form, I didn't think first and started wiring them in series

Most likely the two biggest issues you'll face are where to put them and wether or not to power them from a relay hooked up the ignition or sommat fancy like that. I just went straight from the battery, but then I was running short of time.

So parallel, check!
Where to put them, check!
Hook them up straight from the battery with a toggle switch, check!
Christmas Tree between legs, CHECK! :motorcyclechristmastree:

Only trick with daytime running lights is that they must not be on when the headlamp is on.

There have been plenty of threads on this, including the legals around it... would prefer not to type it all out again...

search for HID, or comestic lighting, led etc, you'll find heaps.

thanks for that mate,i might have to get creative with a relay then...

This is a photo of the side LED strip I have fitted to my bike. Used as running lights for night riding and also doubles as extra indicators.

This thread might potential get out of hand but I just want to test the waters.. Yay/Nay? Bodyglow lights? Running Lights? HIDs? anything of the sort! What y'all think?

The blade has bright white running lights fitted as standard, they make the bike quite a bit wider visually and very distinctive, which can't be a bad thing in traffic.

Ah, so during the day time it just flashes like a turn signal, and at night it stays on and then flashes when indicated?

Yes they are on all the time as running lights and then flash a signals as well. Been a neat little mod for the bike.

Agreed. Anything that makes a bike more visible to others is a good thing. Any pics of the running lights on a blade?

I don't, but they're in the indicators in the mirrors, and typical of the easy to see white LEDs.

Looks good man,
If you have two more of those pods left, I would take a notch out of your intake hoses and put in inside so they glowed blue, Well I would find out if your bike will die without them first lmao
