Figured this would be the appropriate place to share this, so here goes.

Total lighting replacement on my limited with LEDs.  This is the bike I ride at night to the store or what have ya and I wanted to see and be seen.  

Took quite a few pictures to try and capture how they really look in person.  Hope the following shots do them justice.

Starting with the front and heading to the rear...  At the end, I posted a few shots of how a pitch black road looks (farm land).  Any excuse to go for a ride.  

Closeup of the headlamps on normal beam, trying to show detail of the lamps, and not necessarily their brightness.

Camera now more in line with the headlamp beam for contrast.

High beam on, aux lights go out.  Again, off center to show lamp detail.

High beam more on center.

Front of bike with all lights off.

Lights on, garage lights on.

Garage lights off for contrast.

Tried to capture the turn signal operation without having to film it.  Here's three shots merged together.

Note the mirrors have LED auxiliary running lights that flash as well.

Rear of bike.

[Envithyx]

Rear with just the hazards flashing (so only the two turn signals are activated - to illustrate contrast).

[Envithyx]

Rear, brakes applied.  Note, all 6 lights get brighter.

Last shot I think I'll post.  Rear, brakes applied, from a distance.

Hope someone finds the shots usefull if you were planning on making a similar switch.

Reserved to place shot of how the headlamps light up the road.  Heading out now to a pitch dark road to take some shots.  Back in a bit and thanks for the excuse for a quick jaunt in the middle of the night.

Ok, so the shots are not the greatest, a bit blurry -was sitting on the bike when it was idling.    Glad I took more than a few shots so at least I came back with something mildly useful.

Here's a shot with normal headlamp and aux lights on.

Edit: Wanted to note that I took all the following shots without the use of a flash.

Shot of the sides to show how the aux lights spread the pattern out.

I'm on the side of the road when I took these.
