RUN-N-LITES conversion kits illuminate the stock
turn signal housing with a low intensity light at all times.
A high intensity light flashes with actuation of the turn
signal switch. There is no cutting or splicing of wires required
to install RUN-N-LITES.
TYPE-4 RUN-N-LITES (rear)
The rear kit utilizes new dual element bulbs (#1157) and sockets
to replace the existing bulbs and sockets in the stock turn
signal housing. The existing plastic reflector is replaced
with a stainless steel reflector. The kit comes with necessary
wiring, connectors and written instructions for installation.
Power for the new running light circuit is obtained from the
"Tail Light" circuit in the tail light assembly.
TYPE-6 RUN-N-LITES (front)
The front kit requires that the stock BMW turn signal reflectors
be modified to accept dual element bulbs (#1157) and sockets.
This kit can be purchased two ways.
(1) Ship your reflectors to us, we will modify and return
them to you ASAP.
(2) A complete ready to install kit consisting of new, modified
reflectors, lenses and mounting screws.
Either way, the kits comes with necessary wiring, connectors
and written instructions for installation. Power for the new
running light circuit is obtained at the "Parking Lamp"
in the head light assembly.
Demand on Electrical System
The additional draw on the electrical system is 16.6 watts
(1.18 amp) per each kit installed. Two kits are required to
outfit both the front and rear lights of a bike; 33.2 watts
(2.36 amps) total.
A word about R-bike charging systems.
It is no secret that the R-bike charging system leaves something
to be desired. Given the age of the fleet, every installation
must be looked at as a unique situation. Your riding habits
as well as the bike's mechanical condition play an important
role in the performance of the charging system. Are you an
"in town" or "highway" rider? Do you set
at stop lights a lot? What is the condition of the charging
system? Do have; heated vest, pants, gloves, grips...etc?
Generally speaking, one set of RUN-N-LITES, either front
or rear, on a reasonably well maintained R-bike will not cause
any adverse affects, whether "in town" or "highway"
ridden. Also, there are a large number of R-bikes out there
that have two sets of RUN-N-LITES installed and working perfectly
well. It is up to you to determine what is appropriate for
your situation. However, if you do opt for both front and
rear kits and get into trouble, we will buy back one or both
kits, your option.

BUDDYs = LED inserts for the rear. These inserts only
draw160 mA per set, which is less then an instrument light
bulb and can certainly be added to your system without causing
any problem whatsoever. |
