Blue LED in zzr

I guess one could say I got a little bored this afternoon, and had some ultra bright LEDs lying around take a look. Can't wait to seem em at night.

I saw some red bike near tauranga the other day - hed some red LEDs up front somewhere.. it looked quite shocking (the good sort.) It was gone in the blink of an eye, so thats all I saw.

Isn't it a requirement that all forward-facing lights on a vehicle, are white?

Nobody would do that... It's against the law and might be dangerous...

We're all law-abiding citizen's here.

they isn't lights, they is diodes lol.

You need a series resistor with LEDs coz or else you will eff them.

The Hass gives you the thumbs up.

as DB sed, series with 150 ohm resistor, i got them out of a broken neon tube for cars. @Swoop, thats why I hooked up a switch in that handy compartment the zzr has.

ooooh i feel a mod for the 636 comming on....

lucky for me my oldest bro is a sparky and the next oldest is some sorta electrical engineer thingymugummy

so do you just have the lights sitting inside the air intake?
did you tape them down or something?
what about the wires, how did you run them?
