Default $16 Great Mod.

Several times during the first 3500 miles we have been out late at night on the trike and found it was difficult to see the start button and several other things clearly in the pitch black of darkness. I moved the mirrors to a much better location last week leaving me with two holes where the mirrors used to be. I was thinking about plugging the holes with a chrome bolt but instead I went to the hardware store and purchased two LED battery operated clip on lights for $16.00. I cut off the clips along with most of the cable that let you turn the light in different directions. I then put a little super glue on what was left of the cable and stuck it in the hole.
You will not believe what a difference they made at night when loading gear and getting on the trike. Plus I think they look pretty cool.

That looks cool, wondering if you get any glare back in your eyes while riding?

I just use the lights to see better when getting on the bike and loading gear, I shut them off when riding.
