Default Who as Hyper-Lites

Good morning all, looking for pictures from anyone who has the Hyper-Lite setup which goes beside the license plate. Their web site have very good pictures of them in action but no close ups; I need to see if they look too much out of place back there thanks in advance for your help.

I have them and love them, they work great. I got the brake light only as I really wanted to grab attention when they come on. Since they are brake light only they blend in nicely when off. I was told by a guy in my club that it looks like he is riding behind an ambulance. :-)

I went out and took pictures, trying to figure out how to upload them now...

Still working on how to upload a picture. You could get the Hyper lites in brake light only, turn your turn signals into running, brake light, turn signals (They make a kit that will also make them flash) There is another kit that will turn your tour pack lights into turn signals too. I don't have the flashing turn signal/brake light kit...but it can be done. I figured with all the rear lights acting as brakes lights and the hyper lights flashing that would be good enough. Don't want to cause a seizure behind me. :-)

I have my turn signals turned into brake lights and I have the fender tip light turn to brake light. But with all of this working for me I still had a close call the other day; Da#% cell phones and the A$$holes who cannot put them down. I quest no matter what put back there someone will still think what they are doing will be more important then looking up is.

I have them and the BAL.
Hyperlites operate as running lights and continue flashing for brake lights.
I've added the spoiler with stop and running light, converted the fender tip light to stop and run, converted the signals to run, stop turn, and added the BAL.
Cool thing is I have all this light without adding anything other than two small cubes to either side of the license plate. Almost everything else is a conversion or an upgrade of an existing light.
If you can't tell I'm stopping you're paying too much attention to your texting. I'm visible from the ISS when I hit the brakes...

Damn I didn't think about the fender tip...guess that's another kit to look for. Where did you get it? I haven't gotten the kit for the tour pack yet, that's coming soon.

Thanks

Fender tip is a dealer part. I think it was about $90. Looks exactly the same as the original. May only be available for the '09s and later. Not sure.
