Night Rider

[oswaldters]

Installed some accent lighting today.

Should improve my night visibility for riding home in the dark.

One more - bit blurry, but trying to take a picture in the dark without the flash.

Really easy to install and brighter than I had anticipated.

Look at that thing glow, oswaldters! Good job! Looks outstanding!!

[oswaldters]

Thanks,

Like I said - much easier to do that I would have thought. 

Picked up a kit with all the stuff necessary and it wasn't too expensive either.

Takes a bit of time though - and on the Agility you don't need to take too much of the body apart to do it.  Just the met-in box and the piece right below it.

Feel like I should be out riding around tonight just because I put so much time into it today.

[Rianna]

That should make early morning and late night riding a bit nicer!

[oswaldters]

I'll feel better about being visible to other vehicles. 

Of course, now I'm thinking I should have gone with the kit that had 84 lights and two colors...

I really wanted to have some lights shining out from the air intake under the seat. 

Oh well, next scoot!

[Rianna]

How many lights are on yours? It's pretty bright.

[oswaldters]

That package has 10 pods with 6 light each, so 60 lights in all.

The other package had the extra 4 pods which could be a different color.  But it cost a lot more - $57 I think, versus the $37 for the kit I purchased.

Not sure where I would have put the extra lights anyway.

[Rianna]

That's a well spent $37. Well if that's 60 lights, I can't imagine that fella's scoot that you said had 209 lights on it!

[oswaldters]

He sure does have a lot of led lights - but the two HID headlights really outshine everything else.

[Rianna]

That sounds like the headlight to have then! The headlights on these scoots aren't really very bright.

[oswaldters]

That's the truth.  I've gone with a halogen replacement and adjusted the bulb, but you still don't get too much distance view.

On the side streets I run with the high beam on the whole way.

[Rianna]

I haven't ridden at night, but I've had the scoot outside at night a couple of times and that stock headlight just doesn't seem like it would be enough to make it very safe. That high beam on the side streets is a good idea.

[oswaldters]

You definitely have a harder time seeing bumps, potholes, etc. if the street lighting isn't that great. 

I also wish the headlight moved with the handlebars.

take the front reflecters off and you can bolt fog lights wear the reflecters are at it works
nicely I have some for my scoot . it gives you more light for the pot holes and road kill. and you cam aim theam wear you want.
