Hi I have some Givi crash bars and thought that some LED lights mounted on them (or preferably just under main lights) would be the way to go as a supplement to main lights if one or both of them go whilst abroad.
As I'm planning a trip to India and back, I don't want to be caught in the middle of nowhere, which there'll probably be a lot of, with insufficient lighting.
Naturally, I'll carry spare bulbs, but a quick fix would be to turn on the LED lights, which I'll have angled slightly lower so as not to upset other drivers and cops.
I'm not a farkler, but can see the benefit of extra lights.
I'm in the UK, and don't want to spend a fortune, but naturally don't want something that'll not work when the time comes.

Clamps look great, I can see the benefit.
Now what about the actual lights themselves? They seem to range from Chinese £16 up to SW Motech +£300 (which I'm not paying for).
Is there something I should know apart from the cheap ones may fail more quickly (I'm willing to take the risk).
Also, I'd prefer to mount them just under the headlights, so did you get a bar of some sort?

Thanks Rob, I don't buy secondhand LED items as they could go at any time and you can't change the bulb.
But the chinese Puig copies look good.
Three questions though: They say that it doesn't fit XT1200ZE is that a generic doesn't fit and disregard their comment, or is there something I don't know?
I can't see, but it looks like the switch is on the bar end, could that be the reason they say it doesn't fit?
Did you get a bar that went across under your headlights to fit the 9led bar, if so where?
I appreciate your input, cheers.

Hi I have GIVI crash bar and I have had the led/fog lights after having seen this video...
I don't ride at night but I sometimes live early in the morning ( like 3 or 4 am) to go to ride to the Dolomites and they do help a lot in my opinion....

One of the vendors who had a parts checker, to be honest when I check for my model of vehicle be it car or bike, they NEVER say it'll fit, maybe that's just an arse-covering exercise on their part
