LED lights

[Kwikasfuki]

Spent today installing some LED lights from BikeVis

The lights below are the Bullet and LED Cree.

Tomorrow I'll be installing the bullets at the rear as well.

I'm a bit undecided about them Asif.. I can see (no pun intended) that they do make a difference to your visibility and also in improving light source for night-time riding.

But I have to say that they can be very dazzling to oncoming traffic

You say that you spent the day fitting them and I assume that it wasn't a straightforward bolt on job

I installed Xenon bulbs to my bike but haven't tried them at night, yet, but must say that they are very effective during daylight 

I spose that the jury is out for me

Well, strictly speaking wasn't the whole day. More like the afternoon and that was more to do with ripping out the old lights and routing the new ones in a tidy fashion.

I do agree with you though. You can be lit up like a xmas tree and they won't see you. But my view is to be more visible.

Here's the daylight view

mmmmm, that's bright...looks good

There's also a dimmer switch just in case

I had a proper look at these at night time. I think Martin mentioned in another post that LED lights need to have a dimmer. These lights are too bright at night, so a dimmer is essential.

Okie dokie.... I did wonder about the brightness, when I watched the Bike Vis clip...a dimmer makes sense

Tell you what though. Filtering with these is like moses parting the red sea!

[O.C.]

well that's a result.... maybe folk don't want the paintwork of their cars scorched

I see an mot fail!

The side lights need to be the same colour as the main beam.

All wired to switches, so will be off for MOT

They don't need a UK MOT now, or do they? - Doh

The factory fitted sidelights need to be the same colour as the headlights
