Auxiliary Lighting

Okay you 3rd and 4th Gen owners out there....who has added LED auxiliary forward lighting or even an additional tail/brake LED?

I am thinking that hopefully adding LED lighting would help driver's see me a bit better....this may just be a dream/wish......

I would like to see details on how/where mounted, what lights work, what ones do not.  Pictures of course are worth 1000 words.

See ya....(pun intended)

I put a Whelen Tir3 under my plate as an extra brake light, love it. Bought it at my local cop shop called GT distributors. Super bright dead on, off angles it is still quite visible but not blinding. I have it angled so at stop lights it gets blinding about 40 feet from my rear. Was about 50 bucks i think, and is stamped SAE approved so police shouldn't be able to hassle me about it. I just tapped right into the brake light wiring in the tail under the seat. We don't need registration stickers anymore so i put the light on the little plate that used to hold that.

Red bike with red tails is sort of tough to make out if it is just marker lights or the brake lights at a glance for inattentive drivers, this LED light makes it super easy to tell. I watch my mirrors at lights and tap the brakes a few times until i have a car right behind me at a stop to protect me from a nasty rear ender.

atx: hey nice!....my VFR is also red and I have been trying to change the tail/brake light to an LED that will flash for the brake for a short time and then go steady.  But I was trying to change-out the bulbs and was just not finding anything.  I did find red LEDs that replaced the bulbs, but were not as bright as the old bulbs...so did not use them.

I like your idea and think I will add something similar.....thanks.

Any others????

Sorry I have a six gen.  But I just put in these led Philips 7443 bulbs and they work great.  I also ordered some led white driving, amber turn signal switch back bulbs as well.  still waiting on those.  If you go onto the amazon website, It will ask you for you bike info and it will check if the fit is right for your bike.
