Conspicuity lighting

I am interested in adding some lighting for conspicuity purposes.

I do not want fog, driving, nor aircraft landing lights.

I want two lights facing forward and one light on each side in amber. I am thinking about LED's because of lower wattage/amps.

Suggestions?
TIA
 
I use Motolights with yellow bulbs -- it has greatly increased my conspicuity

Lights

I have Motolights white bulb and am adding Photon Blasters next few days....
If that makes me look like a spaceship - good
 
PIAA 110X are popular

Cross Country HID are making their way but spendy

Another option are Denali LED's - small but powerfull - good write up

BTW went with 1100x as they are only $175 now on Amazon
 
I've been looking real hard at the VisionX Solstice Solo LED lights (with the 45/15 beam). These LED lights are the same as used in the Denali lighting kit from Twisted Throttle. A pair of lights can be had for prices as low as $214. One will still need to come up with a means of mounting the lights and obtain a relay, fuse, and switch.

With the low current draw of the LED lights some have indicated that the lights could just run throught a switch, but I kind of like the idea of using a relay. All things considered the Denali kit doesn't look too bad as the switch, relay,fuse, and generic mount are included.

The LED lights offer a nice option for folks with airheads that don't have upgraded charging systems.

The VisionX Solstice lights can be obtained for $119 each (less a 10% discount if the code "piratex" is used as the code for an on-line purchase) at -

The Denali kit from Twisted Throttle link has been given, but here it is again -

Maybe the BMW MOA could talk Twisted Throttle into offering a discount if some code-word (e.g., BMWMOA) is used...
