StarFan Posted November 14, 2013 #1 Posted November 14, 2013 Greetings fellow members. I am slowly but "securely" rebuilding/dressing up my 2000 Venture "The Red Baron" and bought OEM driving lights and the mount bar. But I would like to change the lamps to AMBER LED. The reason is that I have installed a Amber/Yellow headlight bulb and would like the driving lamps to match. Also The Amber really is a nice combination to the Candy Red colour of the bike. Last reason is that I would like to lessen the stress on the ignition. Am also looking for AMBER LED headlight. Anybody know if this is available ? Any help, advice or discussion wouyld be highly apreciated Friendly regards from Iceland, Jonas / StarFan
alwrmcusn Posted November 14, 2013 #2 Posted November 14, 2013 I may be wrong but here in the United States those "colored" headlight bulbs would be illegal and therefore would not be found for sale.
Flyinfool Posted November 14, 2013 #3 Posted November 14, 2013 I have not seen amber LED headlight bulbs, but then I never really looked either. I have seen amber HID headlight bulbs.
RedRider Posted November 14, 2013 #4 Posted November 14, 2013 Just as an aside, I suggest you do a relay bypass of the ignition to lessen the stress on the ignition switch. There are some off-road amber LED lamps available. http://stores.homestead.com/hstrial-QualiRegResou/StoreFront.bok You may need to email them as the amber is new and may not be on the website (didn't take the time to dig into the site). However, I haven't seen amber LEDs available in the PAR36 size for the Yamaha light bar. RR
cb1313 Posted November 14, 2013 #5 Posted November 14, 2013 You better check your state laws. Certain light colors in front of cars/motorcycle? are for certain types of vehicles only. Cb
alwrmcusn Posted November 14, 2013 #6 Posted November 14, 2013 He is in Iceland according to his user info. Their laws may well be different for normal road use over there.
MikeWa Posted November 15, 2013 #7 Posted November 15, 2013 I use amber passing lamps and like them especially in fog. But they are not good for headlights. Mike
