Fits Front and/or Rear
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-10 RUN-N-LITES
The TYPE-10 kit fits either the front or the rear of the above
listed bikes. The kit utilizes standard, dual element, car
tail light bulbs (#1157). These bulbs contain both a low intensity
element and a high intensity element. The low intensity element
is the running or marker light, which is ON all the time.
The high intensity element is the flashing, turn signal element,
which is ON intermittently. The stock BMW single element turn
signal bulb and socket are replaced with the RUN-N-LITES dual
element bulb and socket. The RUN-N-LITES bulb handles both
running (marker) and turn signal functions. The original plastic
reflector is also replaced with a stainless steel reflector.
A fiber glass and aluminum foil heat shield is also included.
No modifications are required to the wiring. Power for the
new running light circuit is obtained from existing terminal
points.
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. This is no problem on the R-Oilhead as
the electrical system is very robust.
Recommended Modification to rear housing.
While this kit fits inside the stock turn signal housing,
it is recommended the housing be modified by drilling an 1/8"
diameter hole for ventilation. This modification has been
found to help relieve heat build-up. This hole is not a problem
technically, and the aesthetics are (generally) not an issue.
You will have to decide for yourself. The ventilation hole
is recommended to maintain acceptable temperatures inside
the housing.
