Sounds like not as brigt as expected. I use neon,s in the grills, a 9 in. in the top, and 6 inch in the bottom. I have a 6 in neon on each side behind the tail sec, right behind big allen bolt, light,s up swing arm, and then I use the single L E D,s to aim at the spots I want lit, like behind both front brake cal. pointed at the front wheel, and then there,s the 2 under the front of the under tail pointed at the rear wheel, and the 2 pointed straight down the fork tubes to light up my polished front forks, and of coarse a 3 in. mounted under the headligt to light up the top of the forks, and did I mention the 15 led strip under the tail peice to light up the exhaust.
And the BEST part is, in order to see ANY bulb,s, you have to bend over and LOOK for them, and beleive you me, LOT,s of people do.
I didn,t do this all in 1 install, it took me a while to get it like I wanted, but when I did mine, you didn,t see that many bikes lit up.
OH, I got all my lights at advance, and the neon,s have a lifetime guarntee on them.
