Joe Florida, he swapped a controller for me with no problems. We trouble shot it over the phone and three days later I had a brand new controller and two new remotes.

Look for the brand name Cree. Many LED's are made in China and inferior. Cree is the best.

Jake,

When everything is blacked out,....it's tougher for the light to reflect. Hadn't noticed your engine blacked out, til u posted these pics.

Yeah, thats why I used alot of leds, and it really casts a nice glow and thats what I wanted.

And by the way, your bike is sick. I love the sound system you put in there..

Good to get feedback from others who have used LED lights. I've purchased quite a number from Florida Joe but would really like to switch to RGB 5050 SMD with 300/M and Florida Joe only has the 5050 SMD in single color. I've done bikes in single color and once you switch to RGB I can't figure out why anyone would choose single color. I guess I change my mind for color preference too often and want to see my Harley in different colors. I ended up building my own controller since I didn't like the ones on the market.

I did the ebay 5m strip in cool white. Some soldering and patience so I could put the lights where I wanted. Just wired them into the aux port under the seat. Still have to add some under the frame but it was on the jack when I did the rest of them.
