  • Blue LEDs on Apache RTR 160.! :)

    HI there,

    This is my first DIY help post over here, I need to know how to get my LEDs connected and to which power source.

    I have the place marked and I think I will apply 2 at the bottom and 1 strip at the area above the tyre. I know those 12V LED Strips and I want all in blue color.

    The deal is that I want a total awesome system with 1 master and 2 slave switches individually controlling each of the LED Strips. I know electronics and what I have to do, but just in case someone wants to give me some advice, later on I will edit this thread and type in the whole process with pictures.

    So, where should I connect the LEDs, To the Battery OR To the Rear Tail Light connector?

      It all depends on your choice

      You can connect it to rear brake light, Tail light or direct battery wit ha switch to ON Off it.

      I have Red neons (had blue earlier) all over my bike.
      But I don't like LED strips personally, I love light when the source is not visible.

      And the switch is on the left side, tightened with the leg guard.
      Easy to On Off even while riding bike
      First I was Scared But then We Made a Deal

        Always safe not to directly connect to battery. You forget to switch off, it will glow all day long, drain battery. Connect to park light or ignition key via your desired master/slave setup.
