Re: Angel Eyes
Thats pretty good, what wattage are the leds mate? Did you use a heat gun/hairdryer? Or did you put the headlights in the oven lol. What diameter did they come to in the end or did you not measure them lol.

This is mine when i did them
They are pretty good at night suprisingly they light up the road better than the standard bulbs, a few times i have been riding and its got dark and not realised i only have my side lights on cause i could see everything and were i was going lollongmoreuk wrote:Generally dont like angel eyes - but they actually look good in the pics - good for daytime running lights anyway

Re: Angel Eyes

Re: Angel Eyes
I spliced them up into the sidelight bulbs so they came on with the side lights, but used bullet connectors so could be disconnected if neededvic-vtrvfr wrote:What way did the LED strips connect into your loom?petrolhead19 wrote:not sure what wattage they are mate i got them off ebay 24led's long bendy strips for £2, took the headlight bulb out and worked them in and around lol there like a plastic rubber material so they kind of gripped the light when i pushed them in, as i said it was just a quick mod i did lol

Re: Angel Eyes
Light unit stripped with 90mm Angel Eye glued in place.....
Light unit assembled....
Light units fitted to bike and Angel Eyes wired in......
They are really bright, i took my side light bulbs out the rubber holders and fed the two wires through and used the holder as gromit. Put to spade connectors on the wires and plugged them in.

Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.
