Default LED accent kits

Looking into possibly getting a set.. I am wondering what is the best kit to get. I've seen street glow but thats it. If anyone has some suggestions that would be great. Thanks

I have a Fusion MC-X6 in my bike. Need to get 4 more strips to light up some dark spots in the engine area. I like that there's no splicing / soldering needed. Everything is plug / play. Expanding it is just buying new strips and a y-splitter.

When I bought it, they didn't have stages But it's the equivalent of the Stage 1, with 4 six inch strips and 2 three inch strips. I'm going to get 4 more 6 inch strips for the engine windows and stator / clutch cover areas

Both on my F3 and on my F4i, I mounted it under the seat. They say its water proof and I've never had a problem. The wires are long enough to reach from the front of the bike to the rear, routing them along the frame.

Also the Fusion comes with wires for a 2ndary power source. I linked it into my alarm since it's legal to ride with LEDs on here in PA. But it can easily be wired into the brakes like they did

I was really happy with the Street Glow kit. I've tried others, but Street Glow comes WITH a distribution block, and the thin LED strips fit literally anywhere. A lot of the other kits have really thick strips. One Street Glow kit lit up the entirety of my F3 with no problems. Check my pics for . . .well, pics. I'm working on doing the 600RR as we speak.

Bike looks good. Do you ever ride with them on? and if so do you ever get bothered by LEOs?

Here in PA its legal to use LED and neon on motorcycles to improve rider visibility while riding. Only restriction is they can't be flashing.

That's how they look on my bike. You can see where I need to add lights because I put 2 strips on under the tail and 2 in the rear shock area. I want the tail visible when I'm stopped at lights
