Lighting mods

Hey all, anyone into lighting mods?

I've seen a few gsxr's on the net with those halo/angel eyes in the headlamps, but I don't really see the point, they cant be that much brighter than the sidelight so I presume they are just for tart factor. Also apparently you have to put the headlamp unit in the oven to melt the glue seal, so no thanks lol.

I know G has led strips on his bar muffs, which look like they add a lot of visibility, but it's hard to find places on a sportsbike to mount any kind of lights to have a beneficial effect.

So if you have any lighting mods, either lighting for driving, or lighting for your own visibility, post pics.

Here's what I have done, just a few leds but I think it really makes the bike a lot more noticeable. Two white leds in the corner of the air duct opening, wired into the sidelight circuit, and 4 red leds in the bottom of the numberplate wired into the rear running light.

Was 220w, but I took the second set off.
Here's the wiring.

They were bloody bright and run off a switch on the clock surround and the low beam. Was like riding in day light when they were all on. Very Happy

Do you not have your air ducts installed then? And is/was your screen held on by duck tape?

I left the ducts in place to hide the lights when they were not on.

Indeed my screen was held on by Duck tape. I put my head through it whilst crossing a ford and falling off with no lid on.

How are my posts made up?

I can generally back up my posts with either picture's or by someone on here.

Hence this thread, which you have ruined with your immaturity again.

Could you tell me why my bike won't do 140mph?
And don't say because it's Chinese crap or it's in bits, back it up with facts please.

You boring me now. Please get some valid evidence before trying to start an argument with me.

Back on track.

My mate has an SV650s, we put my lights on his bike, and now he uses them instead of the head lights since they are so bright.
And also put a red cold cathode tube, that is meant for a computer case.

I'll get some pictures when he come's round. It does look pretty good, since it is wired into the brake light so the whole rear end lights up, when slowing down.

I thought the whole reason for trolling someone was in order to wind them up?

Correct me if i'm wrong but that doesn't seem to be happening. But here is a picture of the offending SV.

Redwing Bugger off, and jump off the band wagon.

I will want to wire in more lights on my bike whn its fixed ( Laughing

How did you choose your lights just a bog standars hardware shop?

now id assume theres two relays for the lights one for running one for high beam?

how can you figure out the max "wattage" the relays can take?

What a fucking waste of battery and effort just to make your bike look like it's owned by some chav who has LED washer jets on his car. Is what i was going to say before seeing this:
