This could be the start of a new venture !!!!!!
Thats it!!
Flushed with the success of how relatively easy it was to instal the leds in the main beam lamp it just had to be done in the dip beam lamp as well.
After much huffing and puffing (swearing) I managed to get the lamp to bits - it looks similar to the main beam one but isn't!
Once seperated you're confronted with the projector part of the lamp which is moulded into the body of the lamp and can't be dismantled so the leds had to be installed around the framework of the projector - I made them up in a horseshoe again as before and 'fed' them into the lense area then applied silcone to secure them.
Tried and tested over the last few days (500+ miles or so) and my riding buddies say that even though the dip lamp is lit the leds are very distinctive and attention grabbing.
I spotted one passenger in a car in front obviously making the shape of a horseshoe to the driver as she looked back after he'd commented on them in his mirror.
If it gets me noticed that bit sooner it'll do for me.

Thats it!!
The two leds at 7 o'clock on the main beam aren't sliced in two - its the lense protector velcro and the angle of the photo. After all this the last thing I want is a cracked light unit!

Well done Sherpa,
These are the type of GS mods we want to see. Innovate and celebrate someone with a bit of nous
.
Something I would like to consider at a later date,as soon as I work out installing my autoswitch and xenon spotlamps.
Have a
for me.

Sherps, never mind this new fangled techno stuff, a feller very close to me who sold his last GS with great PIAA spots, has now got a new pair and light bar to fit on his new 1150,,,he needs a friendly local'ish spark to spend an hour linking straight into mainbeam 'cos he himself is a bit of a numpty, in exhange for the odd beer token of course????
