DIY Front LED's - Lights up the moon!!

[NoLmtz]

I just finished installing my LED's on the front of my '13 STS last night. I decided to take the DIY route and order the components that I fealt were best for the money. Below are a few pics of what they look like!

LEDS: 3 Chip SMD 5050
Lumen: 380 lm/ft
Color: Cool White
Strip Finish: Black
Waterproofing: 10mm LED sleeve
Attachment: Silicone glue

Location: Top and bottom A frame arms. 1 Ft per arm. Each side has an equivalent 760 lumen and the bike has a front projection (without headlights) of about 1540 lumen equivalent. I angled them down a bit since they are so bright... but I should definitely be seen.

:agree: :clap: :2thumbs:
A few more lumens up front; and you'll be able to "fry your way", through almost anything that steps out in front of you! :bowdown:

Everything looks bright at night. Curious to see how this looks during the day when visibility (being seen) is more of an issue. Got some daytime pics you could post?

Looks good. Can you post a picture of the lights off in the daylight? I'd like to see how they look mounted.

Here are a couple of pics I just took after I returned from a meeting... this is how dedicated I am to the Spyder family... full business attire taking pictures of my Spyder!!

These are taken at about 12pm on a completely sunny day here in Dallas. One is in full sunlight and the other is in the shade from my garage. Note that the headlights are on High-beam.

Here is what they look like, with nothing on, mounted.

Sorry no front on pics yet... but you can see the difference between the LED headlight and the aux light.

IF YOU WANT REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEALLY BRIGHT

+ INEXPENSIVE,( $ 6.00 ea.) Look on E-bay for LED's that are listed as COB LED's ......they are made differently, not individual chips. They are more like a solid BAR of light , they are EXTREMELY bright...........Mike :thumbup:
