Watsens!
 
I've been kicking myself in the a$$ for the past 2 years because I really want a pair of Watsen flush mounts with the running light function but they were really expensive so I was saving up when Watsen discontinued the running light function so that kinda turned be off and could pull the trigger on $120 flush mounts well then Watsen decides to discontinue their flush mounts for Honda altogether :icon_doh: so I've been stalking the classifieds and saw a 3-led model in silver up for sale. Not my favorite looking Watsen but I think it is better looking than the other brands out there so I picked them up. Should be delivered today. I'll post pics when I get them installed.

NFW!! Just look at these. Quality is unmatched and had them installed in 30 min without taking the fairings all the way off thanks to them being plug and play.

They don't look like flush mounts, they look like recessed mounts. I don't care much about quality when talking about plastic lights and surely wouldn't pay anything close to that price for them but if they make you happy thats all that matters. I'll admit they do look pretty good though.

Techincally speaking your right, they are more recessed than flush. The newer model Watsen's are flush but since the are discontinued I had to go with what I was able to find. If I run across a pair of new one I will pick them up and sell these. I don't know if you have ever seen a pair of Watsen's in person but the only piece of plastic on them is the plug and play connector. The housing itself is solid metal. I was actually surprised at how heavy they weighed. The quality is unmatched. Sure there are cheaper flushmounts out there but you get what you pay for. Thanks I like them a lot better than the stockers and I didn't think the stockers were "that" bad.

They definitely look good, nice and bright too. I'm pretty sure the Proton brand signals also retain the running lights, but aren't much cheaper.

I hadn't seen any in person and did not know they were metal. Still wouldn't pay that much but it makes them ALOT nicer!

this "how to" write up shows how to get running lights with your "hot bodies" signals. i think it should work with watsen leds. https://cbrforum.com/forum/how-mecha...-inputs-84998/

Yeah I thought about doing this. I'll probably do this over the winter cause I really want running lights but don't want to mess with it now, I just want to ride.
