Pics of LED effects?

I'm not bling-guy, but I have to admit that the blue Street FX LED stips and "pods" I saw at my local Cyclegear today seems like it would look pretty cool on my '03.
Has anyone added light effects to their VTR? If so, where? Pics would be most welcome.

Thanks,
Brian

I would never put a ground FX kit on my bike. I would feel rather d-bagish.

I have the blue strips on mine. When I get home tonight, I'll take some pics and post them.

Unfortunately I don't have any pics of them lit up, but I've got the FX Brake Light flashers on the VFR. I can speak for the quality though. Very bright and still working after almost 20k miles of torture. The double sided tape hasn't budged. Hopefully you're in a state that allows these lights on the street.

If headlight LED strips looked like the new Audi LED daytime running lamps, I'd install them.

Go under my profile and in my gallery I have my lights on my bike and lit up. I have noticed that people stay back more and the cops just look at me as any other motorcyclist. Good luck.

P.S. I know this is an old thread but just trying to help a fellow member

I want to get rid of the ugly euro signals up front and put some black or CF signals instead. I have the CF ones in the rear. Fronts just dont match. I like the look of the front led strips on Uchi's ride. I would get the moldable strip just to make it look more clean though. How hard would it be to do that head light mod Uchi???

That's f*ckin awesome Uchi! Looks like a pissed off demon robot. Can you switch the HID off and just run the LED's?

thanks man, gixxerjohn takes all the credit he built that light for me.

and the way its gonna be run is the leds are gonna stay on as daytime running lights and when i switch to my high beams the hid is gonna kick on and we havent decided yet if the leds are staying on or off. but the hid wont be run in the daytime, figure it saves the bulb a bit and those leds are plenty bright

I picked up some red l.e.d lights that i put under my undertail. When i flip them on at night they are very visible from behind and act as an extra set of running lights for the cagers to see. pretty much a safety mod for me.

It's nice to see this thread pop back up. As an '03 rider, it's nice to see how much the blue LED's compliment the bike. If this makes me a D-bag... I'll take it. On the 7-8 nights I ride every year, I would much rather people see a glaring D-bag than not see me at all.
I'm very much looking forward to uchi posting some "night pics" -I really like where he's going with this.
Thanks to SupChickCorMon for the pics. I know what I'm getting myself for Christmas this year.
Ride safe everyone. And remember: don't ever knock being seen. It keeps you alive.

Yea I got mine to be better visible at night. If I remember correctly you can only have white lights up front unless you are a po-po. then its different. Might vary from state to state. Had my under glows inspected at the local HP office and they told me I was legit as long as I did not have any other color but white up front. Plus I am thinking about getting some small fogs to mount up front. Cant be to careful in the winter time and it just adds a lil more lighting up front. =)

Pics of LED effects

I just noticed that PFYC has g6 LED tail lights. I also saw them on e-bay for a lot cheaper, but dont know if I would trust the site. I had problems with PFYC recently. Has anyone installed these yet?
