What color are your LEDs?

Ok, I know a few more of you guys and gals out there have installed LEDs on your bike. What color have you chosen? The reason I am asking is because I purchased my favorite color "BLUE" to go with my blue bike. I noticed in another thread someone mentioned that they could not use blue or red in their state because first responders are the only ones allowed to use them. Low and behold, NJ is the same. I cannot use blue either.

So, now I just wondering what would like nice.

Basically if the LEDs can be seen from the front or the rear, only green or pink is OK here.
So I decided to do something unusual and went Ultraviolet...Black Light LEDs.

I was thinking about the UV lights but I read that they were not as bright as the green. But I do like them. Sort of torn between green and UV. The White LEDs didnt appeal to me as much although they are the brightest.

Same here in Florida. I believe you can't use White, Red Or Blue (USA Colors basically).

So you're basically stuck with green or another lame color...

So I ordered the blue LEDs. I will take the chance with the LE around here. Hopefully I can talk my way out of the ticket.

I will post up some pics when it is installed.

Put them on a toggle switch...that way you can turn them on and off.

Under Body lighting laws

We'll I'm torn to an extent. Here in Louisiana There is NO law stating you can not have any under body lighting of any color while the vehicle is in motion so thumbs up LA.. :D I can sport any color I want...

Bad thing is I also ride a lot in MS. MS only allows amber lights to be seen from the front and or side while the vehicle is in motion. Well I guess that can work as I have a Yeller bike :cool:

I want UV though so I guess I'll have to rig up two sets of lights then!!! hahahahaahahaha

:Sport:

Uno- attach a switch to turn on and off. Maybe a 3 way switch to change colors and turn off.

My lights just came in today. This weekend I will install them.

Does anyone have a list of possible , good, not involving rocket science kits that are for a decent cost? lol

Uno,

Be prepared to install at least 40 of the UV LEDs. They are not as bright as the regular colored ones due to the light spectrum.
