Been drooling over those for a few days, and that pic just tipped me over the edge.
My order is in for a pair of bullets and the T10 wedges. :thumbup:

You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when posting something which you later rely on in quote. Anything you do say may be ripped to sh*t.

Guys, are we of the opinion that the BikeVis replacement is a good mod for the side light. It just plugs straight in. Right? :confused

If it's as good as it looks I'd like to stick some in my other rides :D

BikeVis replacement is an excellent mod for the side light, as are the pods and daytime running lights. Since fitting them, drivers def seem to take more notice, for a change they actually see you!

you can get 10 - 25w T10 halogen bulbs in b&q or any car shop, pack of 2 for a few quid.
theyre bright as crouton.
i need a new day lamp lens for mine tho, it got overspray inside when i did me bike & it's impossible to clean...
try them.... brighter than the led T10s imo (ive tried some and theyre a bit poo)
they don't get too hot so wont melt the cover. :thumbup:

Yep, easy on the Storm as there is no parking light off the ignition (at least not on my 97 VTR). On my other bike (Suzuki, which has the headlight hardwired on all the time), I have taken the feed off the headlamp bulb rather than sidelight so I can use the parking position on the ignition.

Really is dead simple to wire in the BikeVis stuff, and the guy who runs it Dan extremely helpful. I wasn't too sure when I first fitted them, but they do work, especially with the modulator unit to give that little 'glint' to them.
