AdMore Lighting kit for Givi V35 bags
 
I recently added this LED lighting kit, to my Givi V35 bags, and after a couple of weeks use I'm very pleased with it. It acts as additional signal lights and brake lights. I've had people nail the brakes when they're a little too close behind me, when I just tap the brakes to slow down. After dark it's like a slap in the face, when they come on.

The one weird thing is that there's about a one second delay, for the LED light to come back on, after the turn signals have stopped flashing. Some peculiarity in how they designed their controller, I guess.

This is how it looks with the brakes on. Sorry for the poor quality of the shot. It' s a screen cap from my Contour HD video camera.

Is it the AdMore kit, or the Givi one for the lights? I understand that the Givi setup is bulbs, but the AdMore is automotive LEDs.

Definitely more visibility is good. I wish that they had a kit for my E340 top box too.

There are threads over on ADV on how to build those.

I know, but I'm lazy ;)

I could likely buy the generic AdMore kit and make it work, far more easily. It's been years since I last did a circuit board layout.

Givi is still using bulbs in their kit? I remember being really surprised by that when I bought a top case 5 years or so ago (and I'm still surprised, go figure).

That's what I heard, on another board, though I haven't seen it myself. Seems a pretty backwards thinking way to go.

Here's a short video of the AdMore light kit, on my V35 saddlebags.
