#501087 DropkickFace (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 779 $15 DIY Headlight turn LED's 1 Year ago   I thought I would pass along my new turn signal idea. I chopped of the stock front turn signal bar (HATED IT from day 1) Bought some Flexible amber LED (15 lights) and mounted to the headlight. A little soldering and bang new front end look. Much cleaner imo. Here's the link to the LED's & pics. Sorry it was hard to time the "on" signal. http://www.ebay.com/itm/251054566910 Also, Gonna by another set of 9 LED's & mount as running lights on upper forks.

But not DOT approved, if anyone cares. Flashers need to be(don't quote me) around 6" from the side of the headlight   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #501198 bencadenbach (User) Is aggravated like a T-Rex with a hard on Expert Boarder Posts: 414 Re:$15 DIY Headlight turn LED's 1 Year ago   I just attempted the same thing and had some issues with the led's working right. Did you have to put in a load equilzer or anything.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #501574 DropkickFace (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 779 Re:$15 DIY Headlight turn LED's 1 Year ago   Vic1 wrote: Looks good.

If I get a ticket it's 10 min to make it DOT again & a minimal donation to the state.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #501576 DropkickFace (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 779 Re:$15 DIY Headlight turn LED's 1 Year ago   bencadenbach wrote: I just attempted the same thing and had some issues with the led's working right.

Ya I will need a load E/Q but the faster flash doesn't bother me at this point.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #501592 cwat320 (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 321 Re:$15 DIY Headlight turn LED's 1 Year ago   I saw picks of this before but instead of wrapping them around the headlight he put a band around each fork. Right for blinks for right, left for left.   Logged     Have fun and ride safe. 2004 Roadie   The administrator has disabled public write access. #501659 signal20k9 (User) Chad Gold Boarder Posts: 781 Re:$15 DIY Headlight turn LED's 1 Year ago   I think it looks good, but aside from not being dot approved. Can they be seen? I mean what good is looking good if you turn in front of some cager that can't see your turn signal? I would think it would be hard to see them during the day and down right impossible at night.   Logged     I can handle going fast. Its the crashing and burning that sucks!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #501745 Doc_V (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2374 Re:$15 DIY Headlight turn LED's 1 Year ago   signal20k9 wrote: I think it looks good, but aside from not being dot approved.

We have a hard enough time against cagers as it is. ...Other than that, nice work.   Logged     The world breaks everyone, and afterward, *some* are strong at the broken places.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #501770 twobig4x4s (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 135 Re:$15 DIY Headlight turn LED's 1 Year ago   noce pipes   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
