Default Anyone install LEDs on their Heritage?

I have an 05' Heritage and I am thinking about ordering the Million color LED kit from motorcycle LED lights. Here is the link...

I was just wondering if anyone has previously done this and have before and after pics. Not sure exactly how it's going to look so just wondering what everyone would think about putting LEDs on a Heritage. Thanks

A few people on here have installed similar systems, but not that particular one.. I'm curious to see the quality of it, because that is a LOT offered for $70..

Before ya pull the trigger on buying them :

Get some christmas lights. All one color. Blue, Green, ..etc. Just stuff'em up under there somewhere at night & plug'em in to give you an idea of what it will look like. Of course the LED's will be much brighter.

I have them, but have yet to install them.

The last set I used were small round pods and I thought the long tubes would be easier to tuck away. Nope, there is still a ton of stuff in the way and lots of wire to hide. I'm just not ready to put that much thought into the install. I will, I'm just not there yet.

I can say that I tested them and LOVE the function. Once I decide on the where and hows, I know it will look killer. Personally I just like a single color, but like the fact that I can change the color and not have to pull it apart to do it.

I hope this isn't a stupid question but...

In the video he says if the box gets wet it could short the system and void the warranty. I don't know about you guys, but I have been caught in a few rain storms over the years. How do you ensure the box stays dry where you put it? Is there a place water doesn't get to?

If it's on an isolated circuit all it's own, I don't see how it could void a warranty.....

I was wondering the quality of it as well. I didn't realize the box wasn't water proof. Just assumed it was. Also didn't realize how much work went into it. Might have to rethink this bright idea. Thanks so much everyone.
