Motorcyclelockman --- I really dig how you lit up the saddlebags!
And just when I thought I was done with the lights....
The thing really like about is there is no manual switch. That Magnetic switch is just right. I had one before, and i always forgot to turn it off so I had to reopen the trunk and turn it off. No problem with that now.
I put them on the inside of the lid, facing down. A crappy pic of how they worked is below, but there was zero additional light and no flash used. I took the little "try me" battery pod they came with and put it in an ancient plastic fastener box, and added an old switch I had laying around; no trike power required.
That little "try me" battery box has 8 hearing aid batteries in it! I took the package from the back of the hook; don't get the front one where it's already been tested a gazillion times. Should last for a long time, and you can get an 8-pack cheap on eBay from China for two bucks.
3M double sided-tape. I put it right above where the liner sticks into the space for the tour pack light and antenna wiring, so nothing should poke up into it. Plus that switch slides, so no accidental draining the batteries.
Yeah, it'll look a lot better when I get black tape on the wires, or maybe some small loom.
Boom boom, out go the lights! Like I said, dark in the garage, no other lights, flash off. Pretty good, and you're not staring down with the LEDs in your eyes, making your pupils slam shut and you can't see anything, anyway. They're up and out of the way.
The other 4 are going in the trunk. A pair on each side, up top, one pair pointing forward, the other pair pointing down.
No way in hell I'm cuttin up my 1400 dollar tour pack for some lights. How dark is it where you people ride and how much time do you spend searching inside the tour pack? Holy $hite .......don't your phones have an led light?
LED battery powered light at Walmart $3 , velcro 50 cents, 30 seconds installation, Open lid, touch button. Bingo.
