Default lighting upgrades

After rejetting my bike yesterday because it was struggling at WOT i decided to do a light upgrade to make me more visible. I bought a set of yellow and red LED markers off of epay. They have the brake(high) function as well. I think i paid 20 bucks or so for both pairs. The front on the low function are running lights and the high function is a blinker, The rear is a running light on low and a brake light on High. I also did an HID conversion a couple months ago. Was a PITA to get all the wires hidden, my trunk also has a brake light on top.
Sorry i tried to rotate the video but every time i did i got packet loss.

Great idea, great find. Got a plated KLX300 that needs reflectors, gonna order some for the DRZ too. As much as I like dirt, most riding miles are on the street (and there in lies the danger).

At night its WAY brighter than i anticipated, really hard for anyone to miss seeing you from the side. All the wiring can be tied into behind the rear tail light. I spent then extra time and soldered every connection. Its was too hard to fit splice connectors back there without soldering.
