Holy crap! That's even better than what I had thought of!

I was willing to forego the turning signal mode and have them run as headlights only.

I gotta check this out.

128auto, who makes that set-up?

Edit: Sorry just watched the vid to the end and caught the credits this time.

Hey Alex, how do those do at night?

I work nightshift and have made some improvements to stock headlight but still not great.

Those lights are super bright at night, even daylight you cannot look at it directly. However they don't shine the road at all cause no light reflectors. The idea is to let other cagers to see you night and day. I have disconnected headlight for road test, it didn't do nothing. I have hid headlight bulb, bright enough! Why don't you get hid headlight bulb? I can never go back!

I did the same set-up as the OP with the running lights doubling as turn signals up front and I went with the hello turn signals in the back.
Now I just need to find someone to make an LED front double headlight without breaking the bank??

Is everything plug and play? Any other components ( resistors, etc) required? Did these changes throw any codes? Thanks.

Everything is plug and play but you need a load equalizer which I added on the bike a while ago. Otherwise the security light stays on and turns blink faster.
