LED Running Lights, help needed
1 - 10 of 10 Posts
hey Don, for the most part, usually most led's running will not be too too bright. there are some brighter than others, but in the daytime, it's still rough to see them. i've tried a couple and haven't been happy, but at night, i like what i have. here's what i have for the running:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-x-1156-Am...Parts_Accessories&vxp=mtr&hash=item1c22db88a4
2 x 14.39. i found them a little bit brighter.
i also bought the 1157 for the brake. i believe same price. and free shipping or at least they were. they have other models for you to look at though
i did want to look at the plexi donut mod done here, but too complicated for me. custom dynamics sells the same thing though...

When my dad had his 2008 VTX 1800T he bought the Blue LED's the stick on strips they sell in auto zone, Spent almost $200 in lights, but did that thing glow beautiful. He ran them on the frame, under the tank, so they shined off all of the chrome, on the bar can't think of the name) where you mount the springs. I which i had a picture of it.
And he also had it to where he could switch them on and off.

dont you then need to install some small electronic (resistor or diode or something) thing that allow blinking because the LEDs wont blink otherwise?hey Don, for the most part, usually most led's running will not be too too bright. there are some brighter than others, but in the daytime, it's still rough to see them. i've tried a couple and haven't been happy, but at night, i like what i have. here's what i have for the running:

i'd like to know what those were too if you find out.
if you use them as turn signals, you just change out your relay...i'll try to find the mod for that on here. they also sell them at any auto part store
advanced auto : Advanced Auto and get a EL-12 Electronic flasher

hope this helps. you can also use the load equalizers/diodes, those have to be spliced/soddered up front from relay unto the lights for front turn signals. depends on what you want, need and choose to do. others will chime in who are more knowledable :choppersm

i've got glens 4 way flasher, if i just change out the relay to a EL-12, will my flashers still work when i hit the 4 way flasher?
not sure on that response. maybe someone who has the same set up will answer or at least someone with more knowledge.
