Helmet LEDs!

[Scattcatt]

So... I got bored while I was waiting for my parts to come in to finish up my 15,000 mile service. I got thinking, "What can I do to make my helmet stand out from the rest, and maybe add the benefit of making me more visible while still remaining cool?" My solution? I bought a 12 volt LED strip off of Ebay! I powered it with a 12 volt A23 battery since they are so compact, it allowed me to put the battery right on the helmet! I picked up a small switch from Radio Shack and threw it all together, I certainly think it's cool! What all do you guys think? I admit it kind of does seem totally squidish, and this is by far the most squidish thing I've ever done, but I'm okay with that, I know I'm no squid!

I picked purple because I have purple HID's on the bike, so everything matches!

I bet that looks pretty neat! Honestly haven't really thought too much about putting LED's on my bike, this was just a totally random spontaneous decision on my part to test it out with the helmet. I have no idea how the law will react either, I really don't think they'll be too bothered by it, not here at least especially if I'm riding responsibly.

Looks pretty cool. Don't think it's squidish at all.

Looks nice. Dont know how legal that is though. I would think a red strip on the back and a white on horizontally on the front like eyebrows would work and be legal.

That's a really good idea!

Yeah I have absolutely no idea how legal it is I LOVE the red/blue idea haha, but for sure that would not fly! I also do like the idea of the red/white strips for legal reasons, not sure if I'll swap my strip out yet though, I think I might poke at the law a little with my purples first.
