Elliott, thanks for the pics. That box blends in with your bike well, all black.
With a simple diode and resistor, you can use that single pair of wire to do both running lights (8 volts) and break lights (12v). Thismismwhat I did.So only tail/running light, no brake function. Although if you are a hack like me, I'd tap into the brake light 12V wire instead of tail light. I'd rather a driver knows I'm stopping than just know I exist.
Sorry, Superkram, I am going to sneak this in before the topic is split out. I just wanted to let Makuna know that I thought about hooking the box lights to be running lights, but with the reflectors on my side cases adding to the general visibility, I mainly wanted the driver behind me to know I was stopping. I am not nearly handsome enough to be immortalized as a hood ornament by someone who didn't stop behind me.With a simple diode and resistor, you can use that single pair of wire to do both running lights (8 volts) and break lights (12v).
