Saddlebag Interior Light? Cant see when its dark!
 

Anybody install a light inside their saddlebags? Im new to having bags and keep having problems finding crap in there when its dark out.

So far I have been using my cell phone as a flash light to find stuff.

Any cool ideas or do I just get a mini flash light?

My buddy got some l.e.d.s (push button battery operated) from Wally World and velcro'd them in his bags they work great lots of light.

I installed the tour pak and saddlebag lights from HD, part number 54331-04

It lights the interior of the tour pack, and the saddle bag lights make finding things in the bottom easy at night. Saddlebag lights mount under the tour pack and work by touching the light. Shuts off after 5 mijnutes so you can't run down your battery.

oh lordey...try a flashlight it even has multiple uses like if you need to work on the bike at night, or you drop something on the ground...get the harley one for only $233.33 :icon_dopey:

Buy the "puck lights" at Walmart. They have 3 LEDs and a sticky back. Cost something like 6 bucks for a pack of 3.

They have the round "puck" lights or they now have the oblong ones too that are like 2" wide by 4" long.......cost a couple of bucks at the local Walmart and work great.

I put one in my tourpak last year, and it works great and requires no wiring.

Works like a charm!

I bought a newer style long one. It swivels, you can mount the base and pull it out to use wherever you want and it has a small hook in the event you have to hang it. Worth all 8.00.

I had the puck lights, worked great! Then someone bought me the HD light kit for X-mas, it works even better. Don't have to worry about the battery going dead on the light.

Who makes them?

I have one of the wally world push button LED's in the tourpac for night use. Works pretty good. Keep spare batteries with ya on trips. Also have a small mirror in there so wife can fix her self up on stops during the ride.

I actually have some that are battery operated and made for saddlebags, they actually come on automatically when the bags ar opened. I'll post the name when i get to the shop tomorrow
go colts...afc champions!!!

Yep, we in Indiana are happy right now. Now, back to our regularly scheduled posting...

You can pay big bucks for a decent wired solution...or you can buy a small keychain flashlight or one of the cheap "puck" lights for a couple of bucks. Personally, I do the puck light for a couple of bucks, keep a flashlight in the tool kit...and still have money left over to buy stuff.

Have a little 12 volt flourecent trouble light that plugs into the tour pack or fairing mt. power point, puts out a heck of a lot of light.Bought it at a truck stop a couple of years ago.Just had to cut off some of the cord,way too long.Also pack an LED light with head band.Great for the tent or trying to find an out house in the campground @2am

these work kinda, sorta OK

Saddlebag Lights
 

I have tried several lights in frustration I had some made. I am considering marketing them. let me know what you think. By the way, the units turn on with a touch sensor that is illuminated blue when LEDs are not on. Power consumption is approx. 2.88 watts and provides about 450 lumens per strip.

Nice. I like the thin design.

I always have a small AAA flashlight in my pocket. And another LED flashlight in my tool bag?

did you market the saddlebag lights or where can I get them made

I use my phone when searching around saddlebags. Picked up a $5 led puck for the top inside of the tour pak.

MOST ALL cell phones have flash lights on them now,, :icon_fryingpan: (J/K about the frying pan) I'm sure you could install an LED with a mercury switch, (Automatically comes on when you lift the lid,, (or if the bike was laying on it's side,, :mad:) If it's that important to you. But you'd need two of them ,,,

Small LED light in the Tour Pak. Same spot so I can find it if its dark. Never thought about mounting a light. Guess it would be a hands free way to have some light.....

I did the same. Bought a puck light at the local True Value. Took a piece of sheet metal and bent it over on itself, painted it black. Then attached the puck light to it and slid over the tour pak liner. Works great.
