Light options
Ok, to get noticed along with the can theres a couple of things i can do to the lights...
Rainbow Strobes Yellow Light Cover (legal) Blue lights in sidelights. Anyone got any opnions on these? I know the yellow light thing works very well. Not too sure on the rainbow strobes its more of a car/chav thing.... :s Dan |

Those rainbow strobes are ****! My mate has one and its cuts down on light output.
Use the yellow covers out of those options with brighter bulbs. |

I have the rainbow strobes and they do cut down the amount of light, but I've upgraded the bulbs which helps. I dont ride around in the dark much, and when I do, I usually bang on full beam. I'm always getting other bikers commenting on how good the rainbow effect is, when I'm commuting into London.
Either the rainbow or yellow lens will cause you to stand out to cage drivers (if they look in their mirrors). I've tried blue running (side) lights, and it looks crap. Better to install yellow/amber bulbs and wire them to the indicators

Blue sidelights - then you might as well wear a big sign saying "POLICE: Pull me over now!".
Without being funny - don't touch blue lights unless you're riding a white Pan with a yellow jacket etc etc

i've got osram 'blue' sidelights but they're about as blue as an episode of the teletubbies. They have a blue coating so they look cool when they're off, but when on they're just a bit whiter than the standard, which are really quite yellow

Bike mentioned Phillips Silverline which are 50% brigter and whiter apparently. I agree the stock ones are very yellowy...I suppose most lights are/were.
