I have PIAA Fog lights in 55W amber (at headlight height), but wanted LED'd closer to the front axle/down tube mud guards. Any ideas (photos?) on products and mounting locations. I don't know that the Whelen's are designed for a steady burn. Thanks. . | ||

You are correct, whelens do not want to be on steady-burn unless it's one of their physically HUGE run/stop/turn lights from the back of an ambulance. | ||

Optronics driving lights, use MR16 lamps in Halogen or LED lamps http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/142 838/475835.html | ||

ok I'm going to open a can of worms here and will preface this with IMHO. I have been driving 120,000+ miles a year for 30 years and one of my observations is that in daylight LED's in white and some HID's in a white color do not catch the eye.The only reason I can figure is it is too close to the color of natural light and looks like a reflection off of something instead of a vehicle. Were a amber or yellow light stands out well in daylight. So in over 3.5 million miles of driving without hitting anyone it's just one of the many small things you observe on the road. Let the flame begin. | ||

No flame from here. I once saw a TV program that dealt with camouflage experiments by the military. It seems one method that worked fairly well was to install lights on the leading edges of aircraft wings and tail surfaces (daytime use only, of course). Although it seems counterintuitive the experiments were partially successful. The evolution of radar made such ideas obsolete. | ||

I use amber bulbs in my fogs - I think I would prefer amber on the front axle/down tube mud guards, as well. | ||

These are LED truck clearance marker lights. The rear ones are mounted on an aluminum plate that I made and mounted behind the license plate. The front ones protrude into a cutout in the handguards. I set them up to be full time running lights. Note on the rear you can barely even see the tail light that was also on.   | ||

Hey Vern, Those really seem bright - I'm thinking I could cut out the fork tube mud guard, just like you did on the hand guard. What brand are those. | ||

Opronics bolted directly to the beak. Works fine after many test miles. Did this as a test with cheap lamps and now that I've found it works, I'll be upgrading.  | ||

I have used their flashing brake lights. Hyperwhites maybe what your looking for... http://www.hyperlites.com/ | ||

i like the yellow in daylight is more eye catching. maybe when converting to HID headlights. I will get yellow for low and white for highbeam. | ||

They are made by Trucklite Pn 13200Y for the Yellow, and 13200R for the red. The pig tail number is 94862. Yo can find them on their website I'm sure. They have two LE diodes in them. | ||

Thanks for all of input - I just ordered two of these ... very small at 3" Long X 1.5" Wide in amber. According to Strobes 'n More, they are rated for steady-burn, and they are bright hell. I plan to mount them on the front flat part of the front tube mud guards. $50 each: http://www.strobesnmore.com/sound-off-led3-super-l ed.html |
