• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage.

Is anyone running these Bright yellow lights as headlights or foglights?

Is anyone running these seemingly new, very bright yellow headlights or foglights? Been passing a few lately, and they are very eye catching. I've not seen any cars/pickups running them, only motorcycles. Mostly, they are on sport touring bikes. Something new I've never seen before.
 
I've replaced my OEM headlight bulbs (several times), but I've never been into my fog lights. I'm considering replacing my fog lights with yellow LED bulbs. Has anybody put LED bulbs on their fog lights? Any problems with fitting or getting hot and melting? I plan on having them on all the time because of their very noticeable characteristics.

Clearwater Darla... pricey but great quality and customer service. They can be either clear or yellow lenses in the dust cover, and Clearwater sells the mounting brackets that bolt onto the front fender attachments.
Yeah, at $600+I guess they are expensive, but I've already got fog lights and I want (hope) to convert those to yellow driving lights. I've never had my fog lights out, so I don't know at this time if I should install yellow bulbs or craft a yellow replacement lens. Thanks for the referral.
 
These Amazon lights on my 2022 RT S2S. Plenty bright and greatly visible during daylight. Mine are wired to my right side accessory connection.
Do the lights come with bare wires or a pre-wired connector? Also, where did you get your frunk badging?

The Clearwater lights were used on 2 BMW bikes prior to being installed on my Spyder, so I'm not sure about originally having modular plugs. On the Spyder, I just tied them into the "fuse block" I had already installed.
As for the badging, I found that on eBay (not OEM, so around $20). I measured the BRP roundel and matched the size... the BMW badge gets me in at my BMW buddies' gatherings, and I have fun with people who say "I didn't know BMW made a 3 wheeler". :cool:

LOL, I've got a T2T badge covering my front BRP roundel. It fits perfectly, and the wise a$$'s at the shop put a Yamaha sticker on my trunk, so I guess I'm had going both directions.
 
How did you install them? It looks like you just bolted them to the fender, correct?
Correct. I used a button head (low profile) screw from the inside. I simply routed the wires under the upper A-arms to the accessory lead behind the right side panel. They are then off/on with the ignition. I tried a switched harness, but it exceeded the 5a limit of the accessory lead, as I also power my GPS/front brow light from this. I pondered a on/off harness direct to the battery, but I'd likely forget to turn off the lights at some point :( :)

One more question: Are you using the flood or spot version of the fog lights?
 
So On my F3 fog lights I bought some "static cling" type sheet off Amazon. Made a template with a piece of paper and layed it out on lens. Had to use a hair dryer to heat it a little and smooth it out with old credit card to lay flat.

For another set of clear lights I had, I also made a template for some amber sheeting. Over time, the heat of the light will deteriorate the sheeting. I also bought some slip on covers made for rifle scopes. They also deteriorated over time from heat, but lasted longer than the sheeting. Plus, you can flip them open for clear lighting if need be.
