Front fender tip led replacement
So i had some spare leds i used on my gauges and got bored! I replaced the orange led module with one of the superbright leds i used in my gauges. Kinda looks like a fog light now and not a dingy dull useless piece of equipment. IMO
i can now also see sideways. will edit pics and re-post!

Hhmmm. That's something I woulda never thought about. A white almost headlight light in the front fender tip. I can see the advantage to brighten up the night riding. But am wondering if there are any laws that may prevent it? Does it have to be amber? If not, maybe I'll go that route as well. A fourth headlight so to speak. Good idea.

I am going to push the limits and say that the tip is basically considered a sidemarker type light. With that in mind, and the fact that that my turn signal lights are constant on, i would say that it is now more of a fog light type atmosphere. In Mississippi it is illegal to drive with just fog lights on themselves. But there again, The headlight is a constant on so, i say nay nay!
Note: Just called a local vehicle inspection authority! i am good to go!

thinking about the legal side i was just looking and not all bikes have front tip fender lights so i wouldn't think that most inspection stations would even think twice about looking as long as the headlight and turns work in most states. HMMMM
