OK. I think you are coming up with a new product to solve this "50% w/ low beams, 100% w/ high beams in one click" issue. Is that so?
If yes, is it going to be just a switch we can use in our systems, in both direct 24W and variable 24W's? Are we gonna be able to use the same 24W LED's?
Thanks for the answer.

E.S.

I post up pics of the light on the vintage race bike when it gets installed.....

I like lights - lots of them

. Too much bouncy beef (kangaroos) and wombats (small heavy pig like creature) at night - make a real mess if you hit one...

And then there are the cages... Definitely an improvement having the variables and handlebar lights

No plans to make a system to do this. These are offroad lights, having them tied in to the existing lighting system might send the wrong message to DOT.

That is understandable since you sell them and could open yourself up to problems.

With that said. Does anyone else with electrical experience know how to wire the lights so they would automaticly switch to Medium (8-12w) brightness on low beam and full bright (24w) with high beam? Plus be able to turn them completely off with a separate switch.

I realize it's now a long thread, but that's been covered pretty extensively here.

The short version: As of now, you need to buy fixed power aux lights, add in your own PWM dimmer, and wire things up via a relay to the high beams. Here's a link showing the basics.

thanks.. I missed that.

I see the new wireless dimmer is available. Is it retroactive with currently installed lights, including the non-dimming 24w?

Just received my 15W. This thing is perfect for the rally faring I am designing. Shipped fast and great deal. I will be ordering more!!

You sell replacement lenses right?? I foresee a need in the near future.

Hotcorner · 01-13-2011, 07:19 PM

I examined the inside of the left handlebar switch unit and found a good place to mount the little waterproof switch. Drilled the hole, a little RTV on the front side of the switch where it sits against the switch housing...

(That "goo" on the side of the housing appears to be something the PO did, possibly grip glue?).

Switches easily with the index finger.

Replacement parts are in stock. Contact me if you break a lens, I found so far that these things avoid flying rocks and debri due to the small size and the force. However they are not exempt from gravity

so some folks have dropped em.

Hotcorner nice install on the switch. Did you have any clearance issues on the inside when installed on the handlebars?

feyd · 01-18-2011, 09:51 AM

Anyone installed these on a V-strom?

Also, anyone know if sanjoh's LED's will fit this mount??
