Installed LED strips on front fender

[Leorenzo]

I installed LED strips on the front fender. They are hella bright and they are used as daytime running lights and turn signals. What do you think?

Looks pretty cool. I wouldn't get rid of the regular turn signals, though, lol.

Defiantly cool looking but not very practical as far as turn signals go so I agree with Fazer 8, keep the regular turn signals. Should look pretty cool at night though. How'd you run the wiring?

 

[Leorenzo]

Yep, I'm going to get rid of the regular turn signals because they are useless.

They are very bright during the day. They are wired to the existing stock turn signal wires. Black to ground, one for the running light and one for the turn signal.

Way way way way...... Way too low to be effective turn signals. Otherwise, I like the placement for just accent lighting. You should make them alternating blue & red.

Thanks bagman. Originally I just wanted more lights for safety because I commute at night. I love the alternating blue and red idea but I don't think the CHP would like that since I live Los Angeles.

I agree on the too low for signals opinion. They're also too close together. Most states have laws saying 11-14" apart and x" from the ground. Keep the stock placement. Maybe switch to switchback led's up there white/Amber.

I dont think anyone mentioned this, but you can wire them in with your stock blinkers, more is better!

Yes, they are connected to the stock blinkers and I still have the stock signals connected because in California the turn signals have to be 9 inches apart. I used these LED strips as auxillary lighting for safety when I commute at night.

What LED Strips are these?

This I missed! This is good then. Stock turn signal location working PLUS the ones you added. Nice, and most definitely would be more visibility for your nighttime commute. I was also joking about the red/blue lights. LOL. Indeed, it is most likely illegal.

This is the one I bought. 12cm Front Fork Running Signal LED Strip Lights for FZ1 FZ6 FZ8 YBR125 XT1200 | eBay My friends said if I had radiator shrouds or radiator fairings that would be the best place like the Ducati Diavel.

Thanks Banky2112 This is the look I was originally going for.

You got a pic of them at night? Would like to see what they look like in the dark.

very bright at night, almost bright enough to use as a headlight.
