Default My BAL-1 install and results.

Just wanted to throw out my results with my Bright *** Tail Lights install. My dealer was having a sale on them this weekend and thought it was a good time to get one. I bought the BAL-1 with the license plate light. no tint no slim nothing. Just the standard.
Took it out of the box read all the directions. Only thing I thought was real hard was the foam gasket... I had to test fit it a bunch to figure out how to make it sit in there right. After that I pulled the backing off and stuck it to it. Plugged the light in, screwed it tight and tried it out.
After messing with the settings i finally figured out the 3 running settings of low, medium and bright then I played with the actually brake on settings and when I hit those BRIGHT settings... WOW!!! Anyway here are some pics I took of before and after.

I know I know the pictures are blurry as hell, but I had forgotten how to take night pictures that don't blur. I even tried to mess with the iso and shutter speed and didn't figure it out. BUT! enjoy!

The pictures of the light on the garage door are with the back of the bike 15 feet away. Then the pictures of the bike I am standing 15 feet away.






I have no gotten a chance to ride it yet, nor have I picked my favorite setting but tomorrow sometime I will give it a day and night ride and see what happens.

Cool. I run mine on low for running and 2 pulses high intensity for brake. I didnt like running on high cause there wasnt enough difference between running an brake. I like mine.

Yea again I didn't get a chance to ride it at night. I still think intensity 2 will be way too bright.. but I guess that's why I bought it.
