LED turn signals in armrests

[Tip Schwartzbeck]

TEAM 5150,
I appreciate the info.Had thought about the difference in the spacing of the radius.Haven't recieved my lights yet (and a postal holiday Monday!!) but I have made a cardboard template to layout the spacing.
If it doesn't work I still think I can go to the slot and hope that it looks nearly as good as yours.
Do not recall an item on here generating so much rapid response - maybe you should sell them??
Ride safe and thanks again!

The photos came out very small. Can you post some larger ones ?

Did you do the separate holes ?

About the 4th attempt (yes-I am computer illiterate!! ) If small click on image.
Thanks,

VERY NEAT JOB!
1. What size holes did you drill?
2. How did you fasted the LEDs to the arm rests?

Konrad,
Thank you.I used a 3/16" forstner bit - followed by a small chainsaw file (be careful not to enlarge or distort the holes) to put a small taper inwards.Worked very well.When they are all in they seem to stay in rather well.To glue them I used a nail glue form Walmart-"Kiss"-maximum speednail glue.
I glued a small pc.
of a strip to the inside of the speaker housing first to make sure it held before I started.If you try this I would suggest that after you decide the final length to then find the light(s) that gges in the center of the bend and work from there.The spacing is a little bit different from the rest.After the bend they seem to be uniform in spacing.I made a cardboard template to match my housing and marked it first and then transferred it to the housing -only drill a few holes at a time and check spacing.
Good luck,
Tip

I wonder where you got them. The Flexible Hid Strips gets you about 10 million choises. That does not seem like a very precise answer.

Actually,no one asked where I got them.They came from Oznium.com-click on the top left item "waterproff led's"'I used the 4.7 " one's.
Hope this helps,

I have a Roadsmith trike (2005 GL1800) can someone tell me where the wires are that I tap into to mount these lights? Yep, electronically challenged.

Thanks

Thumperjlb,
I don't tow with my trike so I hooked my signals into the trailer connector.Works fine,
Good luck with it,
Tip

Thanks, I ran some wires from the rear turn signal bulbs to the armrests - temporary solution but for now it works and it's clean. I did have some trouble reinstalling the seat bolts on one side, still have one I can't get in. You would have thought Honda could have improved on that system over the years - awkward to say the least.
