Since I put the HID projectors, I had to remove the headlight modulator, so I wanted to find a way to make myself more conspicuous since most cars now run daylight running lights and HID projectors even during the day.
I found some high brightness LEDs on eBay that come in a nice metal holder, and there is an ideal spot for them under the fairing. The running lights have a broader angle than the headlights so they are very visible even for vehicles coming from a side road.
I intend to use the modulator on the running lights, but for now I am pretty happy how that turns out even without the modulator. They are much brighter than the picture would make you believe. They will burn your eyes even in broad daylight.
I think I paid like $15 for 12 LEDs and I made small aluminium brackets (which I painted blue with the official Yamaha paint) that are stuck under the fairing with exterior rated double sided tape.
