Well Racheal has bought me a little surprise. Arrived yesterday and spent this afternoon, in between the tumble dryer going tits up  , and the bliddy rain installing it. The kit does sidelights, brakelights and indicators. Bought it from these guys www.admorelighting.com/They cover all the usual boxes and some universal stuff too. The installation is really straight forward. Even wiring into the bike is a doddle. I am really impressed how bright they are. I have had the Givi brake kit and these are a LOT brighter than those. All in all money well spent as it means 2 more sidelights, 2 more brakelights and 2 more indicators. Will help in those SMIDSY incidents. Feel free to ask any questions.     The last one is a video. Not brilliant but gives you an idea.  Well worth considering if you want to upgrade your lighting. Matt |

Eeh its like Blackpool!!!!!!!!! Memo to self... on future runs stay in front of Tigger.... or wear shades ;D Does look good Matt, are they fibre optics or wired to new leds from standard lights? I take it they don't work like the iffy connector on the Givi box/plate? Trev |

NICE look that Mat and well up there as safe too!! I just realised I have had a GIVI top box with a light in it for the past 5 years!!  I might get round to pluging it in this spring!! - I think it's supposed to work as a brake light - LED by the look of it....  ;D |

i like the look of these.
I notice that the website refers to wiring the lights into the indicators. I don't see anything about amber LEDS - are there any? Or does this mean that the red lights can be made to flash?

They do brake, sidelights and indicators. They rapid flash the brakelights for 3 secs and then illuminate fully. The indicators DO show amber to the rear. The video doesn't show it too well Trev, the connector is a weather proof plug and socket that you install where you like. They are all LEDs and just 5 wires to fit. Easy peasy ;D Matt |

Easy peasy ;D Matt just read this passage from their web site "For riders in Europe and other locales where turn signal lights must be amber (yellow), please note that you can still use our light kits and benefit from high-powered LED brake light and tail light functionality. If you wish, you can simply leave the turn signal wires from the power harness with embedded mini controller disconnected so that the turn signal function will not be activated with your bike’s turn signals" |

But I have:- The LED55-T-TS light kit has been custom designed to fit the GIVI E55 top case. Each kit contains two high intensity LED arrays that fit perfectly in the stock GIVI light cut-outs of the E55 case (no modifications required!). Each LED array is equipped with 3mm high-powered bi-color (Red/Amber) LEDs. The mini controller embedded in the main harness allows you to connect the light kit to your bike's tail and brake lights and turn signals! The case lights are always on when riding, the lights brighten to high intensity when the brakes are applied, and the right or left side of the case lights flash amber with your turn signals! If in doubt e-mail them. They replied to me within a couple of hours. Thats the advantage of the Americas being behind us time wise!  |
