    Speaking of lights....
    I took a gamble on these
    After our night run, I figured I could justify some lights to point a bit to the side so I could see turns before I made them.

    I have no idea if these will be a bargain or garbage but they're sure to be one or the other!

    Those are actually pretty solid looking. I want to know how they work out. Been looking for some ditch lights.

    i bet they work out just fine. u did good by buying ones with cree leds. pretty much exactly what i bought but smaller:) you may think about resealing them tho, i did. seems to be the biggest problem with cheaper ledlights> moisture

    Yeah my chinese light got some moisture in it. But it doesn't seem to change the output any.

    Well, as of right now, the verdict is Bargain!

    I ordered them late Sunday night and they got here today.
    The initial delivery date was late September or something so I figured they were coming on the slow boat from China. They came via some cheesy delivery service (Ontrac) that I never heard of and were shipped from Pheonix with a return address of LasVegas. The wife said some toothless inbred in a torn and stained wife beater and a cigarette dangling from his lips dropped them off.

    They're solid and heavy feeling. They came with good hardware. They have about a foot of cord coming off them with two bare wires on the end. I touched them to the battery tender connection on the motorcycle and all the LEDs lit up. They seem very bright although I really didn't have a reference just touching them to the motorcycle in the garage.

    Now I need to figure out how to mount them. I like the hood hinge brackets I've seen but most of them cost twice what I paid for the lights. :eek:
    Thinking about maybe finding some sort of tube clamps for the hoops on the bumper? If they work for more than a week, I might buy another set and set them up on the rear bumper.


    *Edit So I took one of them apart for grins. It's sealed with a rubber gasket on both sides (the sides come off) and then under the lens. The lens is simply pushed against the gasket by the screws in the front. If they do leak, they should be real easy to seal up with silicone or something. Funny thing was there's a hollow behind the lights and inside was one of those little "Do not Eat" packages of desiccant like you sometimes find in shoes or pill bottles.

    Well figured out one reason why my CB wasn't working. One of the wires within the mic was detached from the pins in the plug :facepalm: Doesn't even look like they hardly soldered it
