Fog lights issue

Post by Tomas4785 »

Has anyone tried to replace a set of fog lights onto their bike ? I mean, to help see around corners and also just for better lighting. I was thinking about mounting on the screws that hold the front fender, but was wondering if anyone has done this already and had any pics of the result. And if so, which fogs is better nowadays?
Any help would be appreciated.

Just switch the lights you have to the following LED's and the deadlights will fill in what you are wanting...

These are the actual LED bulbs we are running from https://www.superbrightleds.com They have super fast shipping.

Front Blinkers Amber 1156 LED Bulb - 18 SMD LED Tower (Part Number: 1156-A18-T)
Rear Blinkers Amber 1156 LED Bulb w/ Removable Lens - 3 High Power LED (Part Number: 1156-A3X1W)

Note: Our set up includes the new plug and play (perfect fit) blinker relay from ThatVWBusGuy (no need for resistors)

Deadlights converted to Cool White LED running lights 1156 LED Bulb - 18 SMD LED Tower (Part Number: 1156-CW18-T)

Use the plug and play adapter found here:

Personal Take:
~The front blinkers are awesome! The tower really reflects every which way, very strong instant light when blinking, no problem being seen.
~The rear blinkers are surprisingly bright mainly to the rear with no reflection from the socket due to the style of bulb, yet from the rear is where you will want it seen. We tried three bulbs to find the one that would lock in place and not be too tall keeping the lens cover from fitting. Seems to be a good choice until someone else finds something better.
~The deadlight adapter to the Cool White is killer! Really adds to the headlamp, love the WHITE hue it gives off for both the rider and traffic. Had my wife follow me home about midnight Friday night and for the first time in 7 years, I could easily see her clearly down the street as she chased me. Love it!
Note: some bulbs require a bit of finesse, gently wiggling while pulling to get out and then nudging to get them to lock into position. Once done they have worked great for us.
