Default getting bike lit up right.

Ordered an unpainted tour pac. Just finished the Black Diamond paint on it plus one of my saddle bags.
Converted all my lights over to LED. Truck headlight and pulsating brake lights.

Yes on the pics, so we know what that Black Diamond paint looks like. Hope you painted the other saddlebag to match.

All LEDs. Tour pack wired for signals and brakes. Picture is a little deceiving as this is just running lights. I did ditch the pulsating lights. It was confusing 90% of the idiots on the road. Brakes light the back of bike up big. Took a little bit of wiring and diodes But it's doable. But not plug and play
