Hyperlights

[mdisher]

OK, there's always room for one more farkle...

I had hyperlights on my previous bike, but a couple of the LED's crapped out after only 1 year of use.

So I'm looking for alternatives, the cheaper the better

Suggestions anyone?

I have these to supplement the brake lights. I'm very happy with them. Uber-easy to install and they've survived rain/snow on my trip out to CA and back.

I am a believer in Hyper-Lites form, fit and function. I've used 'em on all my bike for the past 8 years and never had a problem. But - you've had a bad experience with them. Good luck in your quest.

I could go with them again... They just seem a tad pricey for what they are in this day and age, IMHO.

I figured there has to be competition in this area by now.

How about this.

Much brighter than Hyper lites.

Matt,

These Hyperlite clones cost less and seem to last forever. I've been running the same set for almost 10 years now -- first on my Connie, then on the FJR. They flash 8-10 times then go solid.

Semi truck LED running lights from a truck stop ($9 for 4). Total cost was about $15 without CNC time. Wired into my BackOff modulator. My boss was behind me one day, and when we got to work, he told me just how annoying they were to look at

The Whelan web site states that these cannot be used as brake, turn or running lights. Can someone speculate as to why they cannot be used for this purpose?
