LED Undercarriage lighting
Just a question as to how many of you are running under carriage LEDs? You know the kind that light up the chrome on your scoot?
I know it is illegal in some states. Legal here I'm told, so long as they aren't emergency colors (red and blue) and not too bright.
I just put two on to try it out and feel I need just a bit more on top.
Gonna do the back wheel well too.
Found a kit of 20 LED's and all needed wiring stuff on ebay for 40 bucks.

I think they add just that one other layer of saftey by being a visual element. I think they look good too.
But, yeah, I definitely don't want to overdo it. I have seen many with way too much light goin on. Looks tacky.

LED lighting can get crazy if overdone.
my next sporty project is going to have red LED engine lighting, but it will be switched controlled, becuase i dont want it always on, just once in awhile to show friends.

RE: LED Undercarriage lighting
by the way did you guys see in the J&P Catalog, the spark plug wires that light up everytime the sparkplug fires?
they make little caps that splice into the plugs, and entire wires, and glowing spark plug boots.
i think those, in the same color as the LEDS on an engine, would be really cool!

RE: LED Undercarriage lighting
I have blue one on mine but I sometimes forget I have them on there, lol
I dont use them unless I am at a show or something where the bike is just sitting, never when I am riding.
I like them though, looks awesome at night!
