They are crap and are illegal to use at night. And they look shite.

You might as well buy purple anodised bolts, pegs, brake reservoir cover, top yoke nut and Motrax fluffy helmet ears to go with your mid nineties styling... Wink

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

You can get stopped and fined for showing a blue light because its for emergency vehicles only.
Not worth the risk as at best you'll likely have your bike given a thorough going over.
You could use it with light off but what if you wanted it on while out?

My mate had a blue headlight cover and it was so annoying seeing blue lights in the mirror on a rideout...

<glance in mirror>

"WTF?"

Gets annoying after a while. I want to buy them all up and burn them ceremoniously. If only I had the cash. Crying or Very sad
