Looking for a very bright but discrete LED running light to mount on my Commando. I see them on some cruisers.

Does anyone know a source?

for the most part running lights are not discrete.

i'm liking rectangular LED light bars like they use on offroad racing

personally i'm using my LED turn signals as running lights

Can anyone tell me if these draw less than the OEM stuff? - my charging system won't keep up to the running light concept unless I am going to be travelling at 75MPH for some length of time.

Any LED will draw a fraction of what an incadesent bulb will. The savings will add up in a hurry.

And that fraction would be 1/3 of the bulb it replaces. We normally wire the tail light (running light) to be on all the time once fitting the (bulbs that last forever units). Having all the blinkers running just seems confusing to me.

Try "superbrightleds.com" I got some there for my 69 S and worked great except had to reverse power/ground wires to work with posative ground. Got ones same blue color as my paint that look exactly like the round ones on the coil holder and two small red oval ones for both sides of the tailight mount. Look sharp but got two comments that I had "Frenched it up"
