After doing the Crocman LED turn signal farkle I thought I should update my headlight globes to 60/55 ordered a pair on eBay for a grand total of $3.98 delivered from Hong Kong they seem much brighter and whiter than the originals yet to test at night , can't complain about the price
Pic is low beam and a bit brighter than real life

Saw crocman's indicator/DRL setup working again at Lennox Head and the whole group of us were impressed at how great they look and operate. Riding down to this RTE, I had a line of bikes stretching 400m behind me - there was absolutely no mistaking which one was George!     :thumbs

I tried the cheaper ones but they didn't last long so I use these now http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/190866023954?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT for not much more cost than two standard globes from the local garage etc.


I like the concept LED set up etc. but I prefer the amber lens over the clear one.

So far so good Alan with these globes and I have the old ones as spares, I guess I could upgrade to LED but no need as I don't ride at night .
I have a set of a MCL under light brackets and a beaut set of LED combined spot/ flood that i had on a ST1100 , I must get around to fitting one day .

I was thinking of doing something like this a while ago but this is so much better then what I was going to do, great work mate :clap :clap :clap
And thanks for sharing :hatwave

So, Shiney & Draco this seems like a good "how to do"  ;-*

Crocman has anything changed with this mod. or would you do anything different.

This mod is still the same simple and easy with the bonus of only a few $ everything is still working fine no issues the only thing i would do would maybe hot glue the relays inside the mirrors of use better 3m double sided Tape. I believe this is a must have mod the safety daytime running lights really stands out from a fair distance safety safety safety i sure everyone that seen me sitting back in 5th or 6th place on a ride can verify that i am now easily to be seen.

I love this mod, it makes the bike stand out so much more.

When looking at a ST with this mod following behind or coming towards me I have found it to be a lot easier to judge (at a glance) how far away they are 👍

And it looks AWESOME :grin
