Triumph Trophy More Lights

Several years back I had some nice amber fog lights. They provided some nice infill but weren't very bright. I've been making some fork mounted light brackets and decided I'd use a pair for myself. I found some nice amber LED driving lights on Amazon for $26.00 with free prime shipping. They came in short order.

Now I had the problem of switching these lights. Mounting a switch is a real pain. I used to have an AutoSwitch but it seems to have gotten lost in the shuffle.

With a bit of searching I found this cute little thing. A PWM dimmer with a remote control. At the $2.00 price (free shipping) I figured it was worth the gamble.

The actual unit is very small so I just wired it into the harness going to the lights. Some connectors to allow light removal and several hours of wiring later I was in business.

 The remote provides 3 levels of dimming: 100%, 50%, and 25%. The item description had no indication of what the "modes" were so I was anxious to get them working to see what would happen. Well there are 3 speeds of standard flashing, plus some pulsating flasher modes. Looks like these modes have the potential to get you pulled over so I'll likely not use them.

I plan on just sticking the remote in a handy location with some velcro.

The final element was some type of pilot light. Nice to know if these are on or off in the daytime. I happened to have a bunch of 12V LED pilot lights and was able to tap one in and put it on my dash shelf.

With the lights, dimmer, and wiring I have these lights for less than $35 all in.

I'm off for a long trip soon so I'll try to update with a ride report.
