| | Posted : 07 Feb 2023 - 06:19 Post title : ONCE AGAIN, FOG / DRIVING LIGHTS | | | I am hoping for a better answer thasn what I could search.
What are yoyu guys using for fog /acc lights? Once AI get my highway bars on, I want to add some. what works good with teh extra switch on the T birds? Is it hard to wire? Not interested in teh 3 mode stuff im seeing on amazon. just some good yellow lights for fog. I find the two headlights on teh storm are just fine for everything else.
| Thank you and please join me for Beamers Tea Room

| | Posted : 09 Feb 2023 - 14:20 Post title : Re: ONCE AGAIN, FOG / DRIVING LIGHTS (Re: Beamerstearoom) | | | There's no preferred set of lights for the TB, it's a matter of choice and budget. I prefer LED driving lights and black of course! Wiring to the aux switch is easy, use a continuity tester to determine the wire (mine's in the light bucket) and run it back to the battery (fused). I can't remember the wire color, it's been years ago. ...hope that helps.
I have a pair of LEDs to install on the fork.

That there is a motorcycle. Any lights will work, long as they're chrome. Wire 'em later.

| | Posted : 17 Apr 2023 - 03:50 Post title : Re: ONCE AGAIN, FOG / DRIVING LIGHTS (Re: Beamerstearoom) | | | I recently purchased three of these, still not fitted yet, one of those projects, I need to address before winter downunder sets in. We get some massive fogs here, and plenty of our V8 rabbits (kangaroos) to contend with.
Small enough to fit the three to the underside of the bottom triple clamp Lens can be rotated 90 degrees, have tested the lights by connecting to a car battery, seems good spread, so the plan is to rotate the middle lens 90 degrees for down the road vertical penetration and the two outers horizontally slightly overlapping the center beam, but still illuminating the roadside.

TB1600 2011 and I'm running LED 5.75" headlight with 2 x 4.5" LED halo spotlights on a lightbar. Switched so that halos and headlight low beam are normal running lights, halos only are parking lights, accessory switch adds spotlights, and full beam switch drives full beam on headlight plus spotlights.
Massive improvement on stock which was about as much use as a candle in a gale.

Hi Asterix - failure to upload pic was not your fault. Site was compromised in some way awhile back that prevents posting pics directly into a post (error = can't create thumbnail). Workaround is to post pic in your album first, then copy it into your post.
Welcome back!
