Just fitted a Daytime running light.
« on: 28 July 2013, 11:50:04 am »
Hi All,
         I have just fitted a cheap Daytime running light to my bike as i'm getting fed up with then SMIDSY crap,i have taken a few pics to show what it's like! I didn't create a join in the wiring i stripped some of the cover off the DLR wire & simply used the connector for the side lights by putting the wires in the block & reconnecting them  :D [size=78%] I hope the pics appear?[/size]

serious question..............do you think it will make a blind bit of difference (do you see what i did there!)
i drive a 11' high, 8' wide and 38' long vehicle and people don't see me coming.
everyone else is trying to kill you........ride like that and you won't go far wrong!
The problem with socialism is that sooner or later you run out of other people's money!

I fitted one of them a few weeks back, looks exactly same as yours. I also fitted a strip of red leds to the rear on my topbox. I work on the assumption that every little bit helps!

did something similar on mine a while back.
the camera i used was rubbish and makes them look much "bluer" than they are.

Are they bolted to the radiator? I was going to do the same but didn't know if they would be seen there but they look alright  :D

bolted to the radiator grille.
give a decent amount of light.
any extra is good in my opinion.
