This one is hard to see and I did not want to pull my fairings. The bottom arrow shows the end with the lense, the upper/ right arrow shows the back end that has the wires coming out of it. I always use silicone to go over any seams to help ensure the lights remaining watertight. This one actually makes the overflow bottle glow and flash.

Monty, My LEDS are not part of a kit. There are 15 LED bulbs on that one side. I put them in a way that you cannot see them from the front. They acutally show up a lot better in person, they are a lot brighter. I bought 50 LED bulbs for about $20 and then bought the resistors to go with them for about $10.If you do them by their self, you can place them and direct the light where you want. Kits just shine everywhere, but are a lot easier to use. If you want to buy kids check ebay, there are a lot of kits out there.

I like the look, rlnsplder. I would check into the laws there a little more before I took them off. I would bet that if you do not run them in public, that there is nothing they can do about it. I cannot run mine in public but, I can at shows. Anytime I get something said I just tell them they are for show use only and they back down. Nice look though. Can you send me some info on that? Parts list, pics maybe?

yes mctrull, I'll be taking the fairing off this weekend and I'll try to get some pics of how I mounted them, It took a lot of time. They look kind of messy due to I uses High temp silicone to hold some of them in place and also to cover the wires and solder. Didn't want to use epoxy due to it is really hard to remove. I will also send you a pm with link to get some LED bulbs. DO you know how to calculate what resistors you need? if not I can help with that as well.
I checked the laws here and it says NO blue lights at all, even if hte bike is parked, turned off and noone near it, still no blue lights.
The Honolulu Police Department is reminding the general public that they are not allowed to use blue lights on their motor vehicles. A number of car alarms are using flashing blue lights to indicate that the alarm systems are activated. This is a violation of the Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS) and we will take enforcement action when necessary.
According the Section 291-31.5 of the HRS,
"No person shall knowingly operate, affix, or cause to be affixed, display, or possess any lamp, reflector or illumination device which appears to be the color blue upon any motor vehicle, motorcycle, motor scooter, bicycle, or moped."
State law goes on to say, "This prohibition does not apply to factory-installed instrument illumination." Any violation is punishable by a fine of up to $1,000 or up to one year in prison or both.
I asked about other colors but havent found the laws yet stating what it ok. worse case, I just go with all white.
