bigstink Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 Im thinking about lighting my engine and ground a little up with neon/ regular lights. Any suggestions for which lights to use, and where to set them up for best looking. Also, wiring them to take less power away from the head lights if there is anyway. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frocashmoney24 Posted December 20, 2003 Report Share Posted December 20, 2003 um, like streetglow there cheap, and they look good, put them under your gastank, under plastic, anywhere you wouldent see them really, you might need a bigger stator thou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigstink Posted December 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 nice, but when most people wire those how do they wire them, were do you connect them to, the tail light? or do you run a switch up to the front somewhere?

Justintoxicated Posted December 21, 2003 Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 I would suggest converting to DC with a voltage rectifier and maybe a capacitor to stabalize the current otherwise they will probably flicker at idle. Most Neons will either run off 110V wall power (Banshee has a regulator to 14.3 peak). or else they typicaly use 12V DC (computers etc) so yo will need to rectify and stabalize the current for best results. Im working currently on some High Powered LED's Brighter than you have ever sceen before. A typical superbright LED is probably around 6000-8000mcd each these LED's are over 1 million each. they put off enough light to compeat with low wattage Xeon bulbs are are very efficient at 1-3 watts each at up to 80 lumens each... it's a bit complicated to wire them up yourself (they require HS and a special circuit), but if my project is successful I won't mind making a few for members on this forum at a very reasonable price. But I don't expect to have them finished for another 3-6 weeks depending on a few factors. So if you do not want to wait you could try what I suggested.

BaddestBanshee Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 buy a rectifier, use led underbody kits and use the low beam circuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigstink Posted December 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 where can you get a rectifier and the leds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaddestBanshee Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 try www.stylinconcepts.com for lights and Rocky mountain for the rectifier. Or Ricky Stator. Tell them you want to run some 12v leds or neon on your bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fah_Q Posted December 23, 2003 Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 Use some LED's. they take up almost no enegrgy and are way bright. just simply wire them into your yeadlight wiring and you are good to go. look at www.radlights.com I think you will like what you see.

bigstink Posted December 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2003 thanks that is perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaddestBanshee Posted December 24, 2003 Report Share Posted December 24, 2003 dude, they make led light kits with control modules now. They look like running water when pointed on to the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnhyoung Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 A buddy of mine got a LED kit that replaced all of the bolts that held on the fender plastic. Then he installed a switch that is fed from 2-9 volt batteries that are stored under the seat in the old tool storage. I turned out way cool. I'll see if I can get a photo.
