Okay, so I am going to be installing my LED body lighting kit this weekend after my other reassembly (check my sig). I am posting this now because I want to give people a chance to request any certain specific steps they want me to document. I don't like doing crazy detailed how-to's as they are incredibly tedious and honestly, most of us are inclined enough to do these mods. But, if you want specific steps, I will show them.

That being said, I purchased my LED kit from www.streetglow.com and specifically this set http://streetglow.com/site/motorcycle.motorcyclekit.php



However, it does NOT come with much wiring and does not come with an adequate wiring block in my opinion. Further, I want a remote to control it, not merely a switch. So I am buying a new wiring block (cheapy from Radioshack) and getting a four-way remote from Autozone. Seeing as I don't want to figure out fuses, I am going to wire the block they gave me (as I assume it is fused) in conjunction with my block and remote.

Here is my quick question for all of you....do you want me to document how I wire this part up? If so, can I just show you how it's set up and maybe do a wiring diagram? You don't really need to see me strip wires and whatnot do you? Anyways let me know as I plan on prepping everything before I actually start placing and mounting the LEDs.

Unlike other How-To', I am going to encourage questions now...BEFORE I start so I can make sure to display everything anyone may want to see. I will edit THIS post though so the How-To will be first when anyone comes to view this thread.

Thanks all, how-to should be up by early next week, but get your questions in now as wiring begins tomorrow (maybe tonight ) and placement begins on Saturday 9/22/07.

Take care!

 

hey i have a lighting kit on my bike too (bought it like that) but the module is broken so the whole damn thing doesn't work. i need to get a new module and don't know what to get, what brand came with urs?

 

ff,
I hate to ask but can you document all of it? Wiring inlcuded. it will help some guys who suck at this stuff.....like........hmmmm ME.

 

Alright...I am sorry I haven't done much with this yet, but unfortunately I got sick this weekend. As a result, I didn't get the lights done, I only got my powdered stuff on the bike. What I did do was wire up the wireless remote and mount it. as well as put in the license plate bolts. Seeing as the wiring took a couple different forms as I was trying to do it, it's probably good I didn't photo it. What I will do is post a pic of the wireless system that I used. Try to draw up a diagram of how I wired it and then take some photos of it mounted. Really, once I do that, the mounting of the LEDs should be quite easy. So stay tuned and I will get the diagram up shortly, hopefully!

 

I have a set of Electro podz and have had no problem with them.... had them in since march and its just a matter of installing them right... I did something different and put the bar on the lower fairing with the lights coming through the plastics.... would not recommend this to everyone and all colors but I went with UV Purple.. have had a lot of good comments on how it looks.

 

sooo?

 

LOL....well i am half way done...hopefully fully done in about 4 weeks (i have done a bunch of other stuff in between and half to get back to the install....) but don't worry when it's done, i will do a full write up...just stay tuned...

 

I was gonna do a how-to,fully explaining how to do stuff like this: Wiring diagrams and all.
Buuuuuuuuut I have been really busy, sorry.

hey LJ...no threadjacking and self-promoting...hahaha...j/k....

i don't have as much...but the streetglow kit is a lot of light for little cost...thanks for the recommendation on it!!

 

I have that same kit but in yellow. I hooked it up to one of those fat batteries that go in outdoor lanterns and the leds were not too bright. Is it just because its through a weaker battery? Can you post your setup of where u put which light head? Wiring diagram would be helpful too!!
