I've got that belly pan with the halogen running lights in. It was on the bike when I got it and was wired to be on only when dipped headlights were on. I'm still undecided to be honest about the lights, I love the shape of the bellypan itself, its just the lights. They don't have any appreciable illumination effect for your viewing purposes but they do make you more visible, especially say if you're waiting at a T junction, because the forks and wheel are spookily illuminated. Mine recently started playing up, one of the bulbs blew, then the fuse blew and every time I replace the fuse it blows within 5 seconds, so I need to have a look at the wiring. When I bought it it had 35W lamps but I couldn't find these anywhere so settled for 20W. I might replace the lamp holders with some mesh if they annoy me much more. If you like he idea of having extra lights then you'll be happy with them, just get them wired properly and make sure the wire can't touch the downpipes, cos it'll melt!
