Default Got done installing led's

I installed about 40 led's on the bike. I bought led's and resistors, soldered and heat shrinked everything together, parallel wired everything, hooked up a switch and a fuse and this is how it turned out. I thought it was a fun project to do and am really proud of the results. I wasnt trying to light up the ground just mostly the swingarm, engine and fender. If anyone has any questions, feel free to post it or pm me.

i like it. did you see the post with the reflective shadow wings? That might look like a nice addition to the led's. The wings might light up with the leds. How do you turn the leds on and off?

If I had any knowledge on how to solder and wire things together like you do... I'd really have fun. Looks good... basically the same effect as those $150 LED kits you can buy for your bike/car.

Take pics of the LED's itself... I wanna see how it looks like.

ill get better pictures soon, but i never soldered before and learned how to and it was easy but if you never did before get a soldering iron and not a cold heat gun, the iron is soo much easier to use.

for GsusFrk- the leds are hooked up to a switch that i have next to the frame thatst kindof under the seat. Its out of the way that noone knows where it is but me. from the battery i wired a fuse, then to the switch, then to all the led's.

for 2002F4!- i got the led's from www.oznium.com went to here http://www.oznium.com/ledand ordered the 5mm blue led's and resistors for each one. i mounted them with double sided molding tape which worked ok and wire tied the wire to the frame to keep them in place.

If i have time, i will make a how to on it and get some better pics.

Hey chpsk8er, how was the turn around time from oznium? I'm looking into ordering some LEDs shortly, and they have good prices, just curious how long it took from ordering them before you got them, thanks.

thanks
