    Hello dear fellows,

    Can you advise me on a budget kit to install fog lights (LED) on my Bonnie T120?

    I was told that electronically not all lights could be fit on recent bonnies, so, cam you help me?

    If possible, I don't want lights similar to the ones fitted on cruisers/choppers. I prefer something like the ones people install on Tigers.

    Thanks a lot.
    Regards.

    Hélder

    Thanks thebiglad ;) very nice.

    The dealer told me I must be very carefull choosing electronic acessorires, because new bonneville have some incompatibilities. I would like to buy auxiliary lights the are proven to be compatible.

    Not sure what to buy.... And the price range, for what I saw, starts at 15£...what it's strange.... Check it out:

    What your dealer is talking about is probably buying accessories that are "Canbus compliant" It's a new system of electrical distribution used on cars and bikes.

    If you use the existing loom to connect your lights this is important, however you could connect these LED lights directly (fused of course) to your battery, using a handlebar mounted switch. If you do this, there should be no impact on the Canbus system - this would allow you to buy whatever you want.
