in today's video i'm going to show you how you can hopefully be a lot more safe and avoid
getting rear ended. i personally know three people who got rear-ended on motorcycles, one of whom
passed away unfortunately, so i'm hoping that these things will make me a little bit more safe,
you might be interested as well. i wasn't even gonna film this but i was like, you know what
this could actually make a difference in someone's life so let me show you. these
are the synthetic usa led lights. we are going to pop them into this bike behind me the bmw g650 gs
and i'll get some footage before and after and in between showing you guys how to install it and
we'll see how much of a difference it makes and if it really does keep us safer or not. if it does
these are pretty inexpensive so it could be a good little you know 10 minute mod. let's find out.
all right so first things first we got some sunlight coming in,
natural light coming in through the garage door hitting this. let's just get a benchmark
of what this light looks like i'm going to keep all the settings on the camera fixed.
so that's our running light and when i hit the brakes
that's what we get. now on the g650 gs i believe it is just two little phillips.
and there we go. so now we'll just push in and spin, there we go. a little bit bigger not much
okay and twist it so it's in place and before i close this we're gonna make sure it works.
running light is on and when i hit the brakes
oh yeah that's going to get people's attention! let's see how it works with this cover on.
now i don't know what the lumens were of the original bulb but i'm going to assume that the
led bulb with so many different led units or diodes i think they're called on there
it's probably going to be much brighter. all right let's find out
and i let go
nice
now i gotta be honest at this point you guys have seen the footage and i haven't but to
me i was just so happy with the strobing effect that i was like you know what i got
the second one i'm gonna put it on my vespa. so let's do that. so stock bulb, brake brake
honestly i don't know who did what work to this poor vespa but sometimes i feel really bad for it
there we go. twist and it should slide right out beautiful. and now
take the bulb push down spin it around there you go. so again here's your bulb size comparison.
pretty much the same size honestly
it's the same base and that's all that matters. see it has the two prongs at the bottom two
contacts and that the two little nubs are offset one's a little higher one's a little bit lower
as long as you got that that's all you need. to get it back in we do the opposite. in, spin it,
if you don't get the first time it's probably just you have in the wrong direction because
it won't go this way, so just turn it 180, boom, now she's in. now this we put in the hole. line up
the holes and twist. all right and now that it's all back together, on, running light and brake
off. brake. off. personally i really like it! all right guys so what did you think?
please leave me a comment down below and let me know. obviously just a bulb alone
is not gonna save you from being rear ended completely but i feel like it's not gonna hurt
to draw more attention to yourself and to get the distracted motorist behind you to realize hey
there's somebody there and he's flashing lights at me maybe i should pay attention to what i'm
you know doing instead of my text. if you like the video please give me a big thumbs up
