I'd have thought that you could "fix" the LED turning deadspots by angling the aux lamps outward from the TOP mark 15 or 20 degrees... so while you were in a turn the High side aux lamp would be closer to horizontal in relationship to the road surface.

I'm not sure how much that light pattern would affect oncoming traffic though.

Right....aiming straight ahead might just blind traffic. I have pm'd 05RKCRider, who has done the passing lamps himself for info. I'd hate to have to take the turn signals off twice, to aim the passing lamps.

The read fender tip light plug had no free spot, so i had to solder the wire from the signal light y-connecter to it. Surprised myself....everything works!


Running lights



Brake lights

before i installed the headlight. I will find a security screw for the trim ring. To easy for somebody to walk away with it now.



What happened to the rest of the pics i posted??? Do admins delete some for a reason?

EDIT: Just figured it out. I moved some pics to another folder in photobucket.
