Hi All,

Been looking at these:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Super-Bright-CREE-LED-Motorcycle-Mirror-Mount-LED-Daytime-Running-Fog-Lights-/400583486542?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item5d44a2ec4e

Has anyone used/use similar, are they worth it, are they legal? Or are they a waste of time/money and look shite!

I've seen a guy in the Pagham (south coast) area with strip light leds all over the front of his bike - looked like some kind of angular spaceship coming round the roundabout.
You really couldn't miss him in the dark.

As to whether it looks good or not....

That's barely a start, the guy I saw had at least another six of those on various parts of the fairing and fork legs at all sorts of angles. It wasn't just a case of "Oh look he's stuck a couple of LED's on it" , it was a "what the fckn'll is that?!!" moment.
If that was what he was going for he really hit the mark.

Steady white (or yellow) lights to the front are legal, no worries.

Worth it? No idea, I like to tell myself they are though.

Must get some more for the ped. Thinking
