I have one from halfords. Think it's by PRISM or something? Tenner for a pack of two, but they're really bright. Work wonders, have them on all our bikes :lol:

+1 although it's not illegal to fit additional lights with blue bulbs.

Anyone stupid enough to see a little blue light on a bright yellow sportsbike and thinks its old bill, deserves everything they get.

My only aim is to make the fcukers look twice....at least theyre less likely to pull out or cut you up, and theres nowt more gets your attention than a blue light.

I do agree on the getting nicked bit though. But nearly all of us a running loud cans but we dont worry about that.

Not saying you shouldn't, but people do spout some rubbish about the law, just to clarify, it is illegal to show anything other than white from the front in this country. I don't know how the trucks get away with it showing blazing bright multi colours from the back of the cab.

The confusion is easy when its pitch dark. As you say, certainly makes you give a second take.

Yep, and the more chance of being spotted the better as far as I'm concerned. Screw the law, no good being law abiding six feet under is it :lol:

I bought some H4 bulbs off this guy & they came with 2x sidelights as well. Very bright ! these are just the bulbs 5W but if you look around in his shop I think they do higher wattages as well.
