Headlight and Tail Light Gallery - Post Pics Here

[Freak!]

Here's mine... I built out of a few things I had laying around the shop.
Before installing on the bike:

On the bike:

I used a 9-volt battery with a 9-LED set and reflector, and it's surprisingly bright- hard to get a good pic at night :shock:

I put this together for under $4 after someone on Etsy tried charging me $52 for a similar light. I'm pretty stoked with my results.
(Flashlight: $1 @ the dollar store -- Batteries: $1.29 -- Handlebar Bracket: $.27 -- Screws/Nuts: $.48 -- Tin Can: $.33) TOTAL: $3.37




A little Warhol with a dash of Southern California. O'side style.

While back I got some red and green torpedo tail lights on here that were basicly rotted inside and unusable. SO I whipped out my dremmel and JB weld and a couple of mini LED flashlights. Mounted the lights inside and cut holes with the dremmel to stick in a finger ( gigity) and turn them on ( goo ) Mounted em low on the Torch and look at em now! Probably should pant the clamps red and I need to swap the colored caps to be correct. The little LED's are removable for battery replacement.

I used Locojoe's tin can idea. I used an old paint can. I put a knob on the top so I could pull it off without a church key. I had an old tap light that fit into the other end that I cut out. I soldered up a switch. I replaced the light bulb with an LED flashlight replacement bulb from Walmart for about $4. I like the tin can idea.

Got any pics of the finished product? Sounds cool.

Luke.

Here is a headlight & tail light made by "sorcerer" a while back. Old steel beer can & a smaller one that was actually a bic lighter holder. Haven't mounted them on anything yet though.

A pair of LED license tag bullet lights wired to a 9v battery with a micro toggle switch:

Bump to make visible to a new member that asked about lights.

Nothing fancy, original roadmaster cardinal headlight with led bulb. I didn't want to screw with the insides of this one if I didn't have to. Works Great!

Locojoe your cans inspired me.

Thanks. Someone on here inspired me but I can't recall who it was I first seen do something similar. Yours looks good. Great idea with the jar lens.
