I had an idea a few weeks ago to re-fit the front light bucket with a more substantial light pack. LED...bright...yada yada.
Found a set of "cat eye" amber LEDs on eBay and the sizing was close enough, I figured I'd give it a try. They showed up yesterday and immediately I could tell that these would likely work REAL well. But how was I going to mount them? Attached thumbnail(s) |

I've still got my amber lenses. I'll throw them on tomorrow and take another vid to compare.
Originally, I was going to split the Marker and Flasher up so a few were on all the time, as the others flashed, but seeing how this is made, I can't imagine trying to do it. Now...I will say that I think there's definitely the possibility that someone :::coughSPOKEcough::: could make something similar that may work better. This is just a way to do something now with minimal effort. I'd love for there to be something about the size of the entire bucket that had a row of DRLs and maybe a different pattern, but I'm happy with this for now. I'm going to make the custom lenses I was dreaming up tomorrow. We'll see how that goes. |
