Autozone LED kit - Bright as Hell.
they dont stick on so you got to get some 3m tape and that does the trick.. i spend 50 bucks on 2 sets of the lights. 8 led lights on each side of the bike..
touring items type s under car led that is about all it sais on the package... in each container you get 4 little black boxes each one of those contains 2 led lights so you get 8 lights in each kit. they were about 20 bucks for one kit. plus the toggle switch and the 3m tape Login or Register to Remove Ads |

i have seen the video of his led's im quite happy with mine as long as they last. when im setting on the bike and its nice and dark out it illuminates the ground, the forks even the bars and clutch lever and front rim a bit. i would like to put a few under the rear fender but im not sure its going to work with the way the rear fender is constructed, no good place to stick them where the light would be facing down. in order to face the lights down they would halve to be right above the rear tire and i dont think they would reflect well on the chrome rim. probably a little bit. tho. ill see what i can figure out. i could try some of the led tubes that give off light in all directions. |

Re: auto zone led kit, bright as hell.
I have mine mounted in the rear fender .... those strips i have on mine i mounted to the inner lower sides of the fender (aside the wall of the tire) pointing at the hub. Trust me, the light will find the chrome and light it
It is worth emailing that guy though, he will sell you single strips at a HUGE discount from what you'd pay auto zone. I seen cycle gear had a 9" strip just like i have (red) and they want 40.00!!!!!!!! I almost fell over lol. I think i paid 10 bucks from SSRider. Login or Register to Remove Ads |

Re: auto zone led kit, bright as hell.
spent another 20 bucks on lights for the rear end. so there are 8 led bulbs under each side of the gas tank and 4 led bulbs on the rear end. total price about 70 bucks and cant be happier.

Re: auto zone led kit, bright as hell.
Wow, those are really bright! A lot brighter than the ones I put on my bike, but can you change the colors at the push of a button?

money well spent if you ask me, im just glad it looks cool and it leaves a nice bright neon glow on the ground. the bike should stand out like a sore thumb. it would be hard not to see my bike at night, i think. i feel much safer riding down the road at night this way. hope fully the cheep-0 brand last for a while. |

Re: auto zone led kit, bright as hell.
Is that legal to ride all lit up at night where you live?
You have to watch out that it's not too bright, lighting up the road beneath you and destroying your night vision. |
