beegee, many thanks for the instuctions

I couldn't be bothered take the mirror totally apart so you can see my wires if you look hard enough.

For reference, if anyone does want to do the same procedure, once you've removed the mirror and undone the two screws to remove the panel that the LED will bolt to, measure 1.2cm (x) and 2.5 cm (y). That way you will get it in the middle

Looks like I will have to order another pair to fit like this too - I fitted a pair at Christmas (present) to the canyon cages and am very pleased with the effect of car drivers as I approach - but these look the 'dogs' at that level.

Well done BeeGee/Kwikasfuki for the write up and info.
...Kwikasfuki - nice green, fastest colour and the best, almost British Racing colour :)

Yes, that's it !   Nice job ;-)

  It's the perfect place to put them... Maybe a hint for kawa in the future...
Tapped them in the aux power are do you have a fuzeblock?

I have the crees and bikevis bulllets wired up via a switch

To minimise the load on the switch I put in a relay

so switch to relay, relay to fuzebox and lights.

I'll probably buy a pair for the brakes as well

I have the bikevis bulllets wired up via a fuzebox

Mounted on the R&G crash posts, I flattened the posts off with a file, glued the lights to the flattened surface, drilled a small hole through the post and threaded the wire through, simples

I have the bikevis and the Cree. The Cree ones are much better IMO

re - I have the bikevis and the Cree. The Cree ones are much better IMO

2nd'd - I too have both Bikevis under the headlights and on rear in red as extra rear and brake lights but the Cree are by far the best.

Where did you get the rear Cree lights from?

I wonder if those red LEDs would fit in the panel between the indicator lights?
