After thinking about how cool LEDs would be on my GS I was sorely tempted to pull the trigger. I then realised that my GS neither comes out in the winter nor in the dark
Considering that my wee PCX125 is my daily workhorse in all conditions then I thought - why not?
Pulled the trigger on 2x5W and got my friendly Honda dealer to pop them on for me with briiliant results. Im thrilled at two things - the clean and tidy mannner they were installed in (the PCX isnt coming down with bracket fitments!) and the quality of the product. The Honda guys were well impressed by them and said they were the best quality spot accessory theyve fitted yet (surpassing the Givis I put on my CT also ) and in use they really are superb.
They have been positioned to by used as full time running lights and so far have increased vastly my capacity to be seen and also to see where im going - a welcome addition to winter commuting
Sorry about the crap phone pic quality but I hope you get the gist.
I can buy a led for my boat for $20 at a local chandler or auto electrical shop or get the same on ebay from hk or china for $1. Just doesn't include fancy plastic packaging. So guess where I bought mine when I needed 30 leds.

actually my $1 leds function the same as $20 ones which are also made in China but have branding and packaging. but its your choice. im typing this on a cheap chinese android that works. And ride a cheap Thai scooter that would be cheaper but for honda branding.

Your bike is from Thailand and Honda have already fitted it with cheap crap.
Those expensive LEDs you have fitted are highly likely to have some of their componentry made in China.
Four decades on two wheels has taught me nothing, all advice given is guaranteed to be wrong

Those LED's do look the part andI like them. Would I pay £110, I doubt it (Besides I can't offard it). Does that price include the labour of your Honda dealer to fit them?

ta for the input
fyi - the mechanic didnt re-fit it right but ive since done so.
Its not fitted right on your avatar either!...I have never seen it with the strap showing on the right hand side like that, the strap is meant to go underneath with the cover over the top (like it is in your photo 56 on the left side next to your switch). Are you sure you have it fitted right? its sits high over both sides of the dashboard and tapers down neatly along both sides to where the straps are fastened under the headlamps.
If installed correctly, with the placement of both your switch and the LEDs (especially your right hand mounted one) I am doubtful you will be able to fit the Termoscud correctly.
Sorry my logical input is deemed as sarcastic by you by the sounds of things, like with GN2 looks like you have a loaded gun with every sentence posted on here, I guess without phonetics and emoticons with text you adapt a defensive role for some reason with any constructive criticism or difference of opinion?
