Or you could just buy a 197-style LED light for $2.97 from superbrightleds.com (that's what bulb is in there, a 197) So get a 197-style LED light (the 6-led light fits perfectly) in any color (granted, usually any color other than white may get you in trouble with the law). I installed the same LED light (in white) in my previous 06 model...........

AWW... that is one of Foxy1's baby pictures (before teh Rizoma awesomeness brought her into puberty) and before the senile pizza tragedy 
BTW Fox knows his shiite, he's had some of the most tastefully modded bikes in the forum, twice in a row now.

out of curiousity, why would other colors besides white potentially be trouble with the law? it's not like that third eye serves any purpose....

it really depends on the state, in Jersey anything other than white or amber is illegal. They red and blue are reserved for emergency services only and they believe that any color other than white or amber are a distraction. I really depends on the municipality tho because if it is something like that most cops dont really care.

Hey fox--all i could find listed were 194-style...is that what you meant, or can i just not find them??
Sorry, that's what I meant (damn numbers). 194-style LED lights is what you need, not 197.

Anything other than amber or white as a forward facing light is illegal (in all states). Red/Blue is reserved for law enforcement. Green is used sometimes with the park/forest services. Other colors causes distractions and are not DOT approved, therefore illegal. Now, how strictly it's enforced is up to your local law enforcement. Around here, people have all sorts of forward facing colors, which leads me to believe that the police have better things to do than pull people over for having green/blue/red, etc forward facing LED's. But in other places, they enforce it.

Actually, it does. When you have your lowbeam on and your highbeam off, you cannot physically see that the lowbeam is on when looking directly at the side of the bike. But you CAN see the middle light (which actually serves as a sidemarker) I didn't notice this until I saw Captain Slow's bike from the side one night and noticed it.

The 03-06 models used a 194 bulb for the middle light. The 07/08 models use "warm" white LED's........and I believe there's 5 of them in there.
