LaPorte,Tx. | It is easy to do, get some LED strips the color you like and stick them above the motor. You can get a switch that will fit into the blank on the console at an auto parts store or buy a Victory switch (expensive) and wire the lights through it. I did a blue light on my SSG a couple of years ago, looks good, but I don't use them much. Some folks have drilled out the indents on the cheese wedges and put LEDs behind the wedge, that is pretty !! |

Easy installation. Multi colors. Remote. My friend's daughter said my bike is "EPIC." I take that as a compliment . . . she doesn't compliment much. |

College Station, Tx | OK i have to reply to this thread.. I just got my lights from Joe Florida and LOVE them. His customer service is second to none and his prices are hard to beat! Check out http://ledaccentlights.net/store/ to look at his offerings. I bought the 120 multi color kit and 2 wheel kits and got excellent coverage. I will take pictures tonight and post them in the morning. I now have 4 other people ordering kits from him after seeing mine.

Saskatchewan (hard to say, easy to draw ) | I put the lights on a bit ago( Like Firehawks post above) - 120 kit, 2 more 30 light kits and the front and rear wheel kit. Placement pics if you guys need 'em but real easy to stick and wire. Looks pretty good too! The remote lets me turn them on when the lookie loos crowd around , sitting and having a coffee, watching out the window.... yup! It was worth it! Nothing has let go, the wiring has remained solid, the remote works just fine at 50 ft.

Saskatchewan (hard to say, easy to draw ) | OK Ezra, now we gotta have a few pics of your new lighting! Want to see if you did the rear wheel or just under the tipovers ( that is where my rear set went - cut it in half and put the other set on the flat strip WAAAY under the floorboards to shine down) |

College Station, Tx | Sorry, I have been so busy at work that I have not had time to take the pictures. I will try tonight if I can get home at a decent hour.. I need to win the lotto so I could retire but that would mean I would have to play i guess. I did do around the rear wheel, tip overs, engine, drivers floorboards, front wheel, headlight, and in front of the engine. I have a crappy video that I took of it with my cell phone but will take more hi res pictures and post them here. Tried to embed the video but here is the direct link if that does not work... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYjuL0lUzOA

Saskatchewan (hard to say, easy to draw ) | OK now where are your pics? The You tube does not do that justice! How did you do the LEDs on the headlight?

Reno County, KS | I used electropods for mine. They are very easily insalled. Just be careful what color you pick. I was harrased by a cop in California because mine were blue. Blue and/or red are for a fact illegal to put on a civillian vehicle in most states. It didn't bother me that much, I just turned them back on when I got out of LA. Nobody else has said anything to me. |

Saskatchewan (hard to say, easy to draw ) | Talked to a RCMP about my lights.... jist of it is that any lights on can be called 'stunting' ..... I figure that i have a chance with just the white lights on. By the way, I had a short on the remote receiver and went dark!~ Joe Florida sent in 2 full replacement units just to make sure I was happy. yUP, i AM HAPPY! Still need to see firehawk's setup or any other one! |

| Hawk I bought a set of Joe Floriad lights for my 09 Vision. the bike is black with a blackout kit on it. i chose white lights. I wasn't sure about which color to choose but I relized the Victory badges light up in white so that made my choice the obvious. |
