Solution to bar conversion indicators

Hi everyone, thought I'd post this in this section too.

I just did a bar conversion on my aerox and had no front indicators. I didn't really want car side repeaters stuck on my fairings so I had a look at what I was dealing with and came up with this;

The standard headlight has a side light bulb in each top corner. I always use main beam when use my lights, and I have a decent bulb so the sidelights weren't really neccassery.

So, I took the headlight wiring;




And removed the sidelight bulbs from it by cutting the wires. I then painted the bulbs orange with some glass paint;



I then took the connectors off the original indicators and solder them on, then I heat shrinked the connection (no pics of this)

So basically I ended up with front indicators that dont change the look of the front end at all, making it look really clean and tidy (compared to oval indicators stuck on). The bulbs are far enough into the corners that it is easily distinguishable which side im indicating.

Heres a quick vid of one side hooked up (flasher relay is buggered is it flashes a bit fast). The camera is a bit shit and makes the light look more intense than it is.

Hope this is of use to someone.
