Cheap LED light setup

[lorazepam]

I just finished installing a set of LED lights to the forks on my V7 stone. I used these components:

Plus a relay harness I rigged up to use the GPS plug under the instrument panel. They come on with the key, and will be on no matter if high or low beam is activated as they are on their own circuit. I will get pictures and post them here as soon as I can figure out how to.

they look pretty good, and put out a fantastic amount of light.





Yeah, I know it is dirty, it has been raining here, and the bugs are really bad this summer.

Well done. Let us know how they work out in practice.

Looks very functional with the bonus of being cheap.  Thanks for sharing the details.

Very nice!  Have you taken any photos showing the light they throw?  Perhaps one with low beam, another with high beam, and a third with LEDs?  Being that you have them on all the time, the first two would probably involve pulling a fuse.  If you have these, it would be great to see.

Thanks for sharing!

I will get those photos for you soon. Severe weather here at the moment, so I will wait until later. I asked a guy I was following at a light how they looked in the mirror, and he said they were very visible and not annoying in his mirror. Going to find tune the beams, and see how they work at night. My main goal is to be more visible in the daytime, and any extra light at night is a bonus.

Sound good, thanks.  I'm looking at similar, and for the same reasons.

Very nice...   


I changed all four of my Instrument Gauge lamps on my CX100 over to white color LEDs..

The gauge display went from old, lackluster yellow-ish white to an " ice-blue " white .

Hard to describe properly, but it looks cool... ( NPI )


Did similar LED retrofit to instrument cluster lights on my Jeep Cherokee -

Amber on the 6 needle indicator gauges < Tach, Speedo, Water Temp, Oil Temp, Fuel, Batt > as well as on the separate displays of the Gear Shifter and 4X4 lever on the center console. I went with dimmer white LEDs on all pushbutton indicators;  including the Radio and A/C controls.

I put an LED conversion in my H4 headlight.  Aside from some clearance modifications in my Vetter fairing to clear the added lenth of the bulb with built in fan on the back I quite like it.  Much whiter light than the H4.  Oh yeah, although installed correctly the high/low beams are switched around on the switch.  I also have an experimental LED mounted on the sidecar.  LED's are certainly a way to gain light and save on alternator output.   I like the look of yours.
