Spring has sprung!

[PCX150Rider]

Here is what the light assembly looked like recently. I had some of the wires and connectors attached temporarily in order to test the unit before cleaning it up for installation. I am waiting for some special connectors that I ordered before wrapping the wiring and reinstalling the assembly.

Looks like something from "Outer Space".

Well, I am done with the wiring on the headlight assembly, and now I am waiting for two led bulbs for the lower sockets that are suppose to be brighter than the ones I have installed. They should arrive tomorrow. Then I can start to put the bike back together, just in time for Spring.
Here is what the lights look like right now:

Nice job Mel. Did that puddle of sweat on the floor dry yet? Just kidding.

With all due respect for your hard work on the lights I can't help but think of the old Atari Space Invaders game. Now with the digital TVs I'm not sure if you can even hook up one of those old 2600 consoles anymore. Ah. . .those were the days.

You are right! Spring has sprung, and we can enjoy reading http://onlineclassmentor.com/blog/harle ... s-to-brand, since it's new and useful:)

Nice job Mel! Impressive! I doubt I will go through that much dismantling but it sure looks great.

So here is what the completed wiring looks like on the light assembly.

Very clean, indeed.

Thanks guys
I’m just waiting for the snow to melt so I can get back on the PCX, not being able to use it this week has really brought home what a god send it is. On average my PCX must save me an hour and a quarter on my commute daily.
Bring on the sun

Yeah. . .I saw in the news recently where you Brits have been having your share of snow and winter weather this year. Our weather has been weird this year also.

So here is what the completed wiring looks like on the light assembly.

I see you piled on the insulation wrap so the vibration won't cause any wear on the wires. Well done!

Not sure what you meant. . .or your input wasn't supported.

This was another good game for the 2600 though. Fog was the worst part.

Well, my bike is back together and looks pretty darn good!

During my reassembly I knew where every screw and bolt went, and that is scary. I got in a hurry toward the end and when it was almost fully assembled I found that I had 2 left over bolts. I went through the reassembly in my head, and within seconds I knew where they belonged. It took me 10 minutes to open it back up, install the bolts, and button it back up. That is a very strange feeling. Thank you maddiedog. You have taught me well.

Oh, and I did change out the bottom led light bulbs for brighter ones than in the picture i previously posted. I also added another row of red LED rear stop lights to the back, plus I added a white led light under the front wheel well area that comes on when I turn on the front strobe lights. I added a white led light under the rear wheel well that comes on when the brake lever is pressed as well... and then there are the front spot lights (4 of them). Hopefully I can be seen at night now. :-)

Wow Mel, sounds like new pics are in order!

[PCX150Rider]

Hey Mel. . .do you think there's a possibility with all those new light gizmos that people will think you are Law Enforcement and start pulling over to the side of the road when they see you approaching in their mirrors?

Here is the finished product. You can't see the strobe lights, but you get the picture. :-)

[ScottDR]

Wow! Looks great!

[you you]

Looks like something from "Aliens"

[lillypinkjenny]

Wow! That's some bright lighting! Like the surface of the Sun!!!

It's snowed again here and even the South (normally warmer) end of the UK has returned to the depths of Winter.
