HEH HEH!!

THATS THE IDEA!

Hopefully it'll stop the myopic brigade pullin out in front of me!

And if im stuck behind a slow git,it could get em to speed up a bit to get away from the lights!!!

They be bright, LED is the way to go. Did you have to use a special magic electric box thing? (what ever those things are called..noids or something)


Got some from OZ land for our trike, just waiting for the mudguards now so I can fit them.

Yeah, i've fitted led brake lights,

theyre brighter than bulbs and wont blow so readily as filaments on a jarring hardtail,

but the red light is more a reddish purple cos of the pure blue white light the bulbs produce...

i'm thinking i should buy red led stop/tail leds rather than white cos i have red lenses...
