LED There Be Light

Did you find a way to drill into the glass?

I've had some success with taping up both sides of the glass and GENTLY drilling, having said that, I've also had some right royal fuck ups.

Look awesome Mom! I'll have to come up and have a look see in person next weekend I think... If I hadda known you were finally tackling it I would have offered my services!

No the leds are just sitting under it all in a sealed piece of electrical ducting. Very easy, I like easy and you can ask my wife!

It certainly looks the part, did you use blue LED's, or is that just the glass?

Yes blue and white as well. The glass is of cause green and in real life you can see both colours and it looks awesome.

I bet it looks fantastic. I rode home from work tonight and it was just on dark as I got home. I was buzzing to see the blue light showing on the road under Millie as I rode along

Stared at myself in shop windows coming through town

Have one not working so will have to check the rather interesting connection methinks.

We should have a weekend light fitting party.

I can build motors, gearboxes, spoke wheels etc etc. But stuffed if I can do a good job of wiring.

Are these lights legal?

Yepper, my people seem to think so, oh, and define good

An investment in a new soldering iron will be the next purchase for the tool box. I have me a multi meter now, the world is my oyster

Have a look at that site Rob, I have a terrible feeling this stuff could become addictive.

ATGATT doncha know?


Thats what I said! oh this is so going to happen now...

Missed this at first read, you are a naughty boy encouraging me.

You are very welcome, besides if nothing else it was a very fun day. And night.

It was good fun, I had a blast.

Are these lights legal?

As you cannot see the actual lights themselves, just the light they project AND that they do not rotate, pulse, flash, twinkle, strobe, or other forms of distraction then yes they are fine. I would think Gremlin would explain this all to us but he is probably getting tired of saying the same thing over and over re these lights

So do they do gold?

I need more volts like Apollo 13, can I use leds bulbs in my tail lights and number plate light?

Some under my tank would be cool......

[nathanwhite]

So do they do gold?

The lights she/me have come in yellow

but some of the other ones have orange also.

You could always get some 6 yellow and 6 orange .... I'm sure you would have enough then.

Millie got a brand spanking new WOF yesterday No issues with the lights at all

Sweet. Ok then I have a big wiring job on the bike. Must twist Dougals arm to help me with it. More than just the leds, want to relay the headlight like the CBX (which headlight is now brighter then the sun) and LED the taillights.

I worry about my bike at night as its very black.

You will have to do a night ride by for us at the trip.

So... can I use leds bulbs in my tail lights and number plate light?

Yes. I use one of these for stop/tail/number plate (all in one on mine). They may not be the cheapest source but bulb seems good quality and they're only in the Tron.

You can also use LED's for indicators but, depending on the bike, you may end up with 'fast flash' (like a bulb is out) or an error message (anyone with a modern bike know?) as the electrical demand has dropped relative to standard bulbs. You can add another component to fix that but it makes it a bit more pricey and might offset the savings you're looking for on your overall draw (Bogan will know )
