D.I.Y. LED Peg signals - Page 7

God DAYUM!  You are charging $90 for that?  And 2-3 days?

I did mine in 4 hours and cost me $9  

You do nice work but $90 the same service is offered on ebay for $65. What size leds are you using? I think i did the 3mm on mine. 

i did it today looks good

Curious for anyone that has done this recently what LEDs did you use? specifically mcd rating and wavelength.
I'm thinking about getting these little guys if anyone has some feedback (LINK)

this is where i got mine you need 2 of them

I used blue LED's on my 06 but wouldnt recoment it because i t gives me something to worry about but this is deffinatly worth doing! but in amber or red. I used the Joe Florida LEDs off ebay i had a whole kit i havent put on yet. They are very bright and i recomend them.

i know this is an old thread, but i must say AWSOME idea.  also now that this has been bumped, if you guys are looking for LED's best place i've ever dealt with is superbrightleds.com  the place sells everything, and great prices.

Done my rear pegs a while back, already had the ones by the tail light done. Used yellow emitting, clear, 3mm 10,000 MCD LEDs that have about a 25 degree viewing angle. They are barely noticeable in the day until they light up. The pegs are very bright from directly behind but the ones beside the tail light are mounted on an area that is at an angle, so they are visible from the side. I had done my front marker/turnsignals a long time ago. Made some front custom mounts, installed 5mm flat top yellow LEDs that have a 120 degree viewing angle. Got all of them off e-bay, just had to do a little soldering to put the resistors that came with them on, then some wires to hook them up. Even though LEDs are single function, with the right stuff they can serve as dual function, my fornts serve as running lights but blink when ths turnsignals are activated. This was acomplished with 2 diodes and some wire for each side. I can do a write up if anyone is interested. The same set up could be used for anyone who wants to do rear brake/tail lights also.Here's a couple of videos of my pegs and the fronts:

Hey krusher can you post a pic of your rear pegs..I want to do my f3 but..there isn't much room to put the lights.  I would like to see what you did!

Dooow,  my bad I just saw your youtube clips.

Yeah their really isn't much room for it on the F3 pegs. I thought about putting some on the inside of the tail lamp lens, actually behind the lens.

The previous owner had already cut the helmet lock off but I just finished grinding it down smooth. I also cut the other two little "hook" looking brackets off and ground them smooth then polished the whole thing out. I used 3mm 10,000 MCD LEDs (they were easier to fit in the tight space). I got another set of rear pegs on my F2 "toy" that I will be removing later on that still have the hooks and helmet lock. I'm gonna look into doing them and do a write up and post it here.

I've heard of people using the GSXR rear passenger pegs instead of the F3 pegs. It will bring your exhaust pipe up slightly but it will have more room for the LED's.

i am getting my 07 cbr 600 here in a few weeks, i am going to do this no doubt! Its badass.

Dont you guys have any legal issues with the led's being blue or green? We cant have them in MN because they are emergency colors.

But anyways, i suggest you guys check out

http://stores.ebay.com/Chi-Wing-LED-product-shop

you can get 100 led's with resistors for about 14$ shipped. This is where i get all my led's, great seller, and pretty fast shipping for where it comes from.

Check it out. Take care.

You could also get RGB LEDs and wire them up like that.  The wiring wouldn't be TOO much of a rats nest since you could do all the actual connections somewhere away from the footpeg.  And since to make the amber color you'd have to blend red and green in the RGB LED, you could use resistors to get just the right amount of both color to display at the same time.

In short, it'd be complicated and not for those unfamiliar with LEDs and wiring.  =)

Thanks LikitySplit I just finished mine. I used red for mine and it looks great and works good. I am looking at doing something similar in the front also.

Waterproof, ready to wire...cheap

 
Has anyone used these? they look pretty sweet and easy for this application.  especially the ribbon ones you can bend to stick out.  looking forward to doing this over christmas break

I just thought i would post mine! Hope ya like

Anyone have a diagram to go along with the pictures from the write up. I do better with schematics (and MS Paint masterpieces)

dont waste your time with these dim led from auto zone. if they were really bright enough you should not be able to take a picture from straight on. the leds from auto zone are overpriced and not as bright as ones off ebay or even locally at Radio Shack.

i do this in my town for extra money and this is how my installs look in direct light. the ones from auto zone are more just show lights meant to show in medium to low light settings. get the ones ones off ebay. trust me it may take a week or two to get from japan but the end result is well worth the wait.

so happy i ran across this thread...been wanting to get this done for awhile since my rear fender eliminator/integrated singals are dim as hell but now i realize its self-doable!

instead of turn signals only, i REALLY would prefer having a red running light/brake light AND amber signals(can barely see my brake light currently). anyone do this yet?

i was thinking about doing a 3.space.3 setup on each peg..3 reds spliced into the brake light wire, alittle space on the peg, than 3 ambers spliced into the turn signal wire if it could fit. if i got pre-wired leds with resistors, think i'd be able to do this without any problems?

i understand where to splice the ambers for the turn signal but not sure what the best spot for the running/brake would be so anyone with some insight would be greatly appreciated!!

gonna pick up the parts to do this today. i was looking on radio shacks web site and they have some stuff that would be awsome for this. wide angled led's http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2102849&cp=&sr=1&origkw=led&kw=led&parentPage=search
 
led holder (would make a nice finishing touch) http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2102849&cp=&sr=1&origkw=led&kw=led&parentPage=search
 
not to mention all different sizes and colors of led's. ill let you know how it goes!

dont use holders as it takes away from the STEALTH look. its better when you get off your bike and people say "i didnt even see those before thats cool" the leds are clear so the take the color of the peg which makes them "invisible". if nobody ever comments on your leds they are not bright enough...............

kankoon, dont use the radioshack leds either, they are not very bright at all. i would get some off of either oznium.com, superbrightleds.com, or ebay
