    Default Lights!

    So I was wondering, since I sometimes during the night time (going home with my friends from the mall or something) If putting these around the axel of the truck possible.

    Its more of a bike light, but since it wraps around, I thought it can simply go around the axle and give some light to the ground.

    I've got some Knog Frogs on one of my bikes so I checked it out. Too loose to work on Paris 180s, thety are made to wrap around bars and seatposts after all and they start at around 1" diameter and goes up from there.

    As lighted riser pads go, the Sunriser and the Khiro Flux are the "goodest ones". These are 1/4" hard risers with 3 LED's on one end. The red ones make for a great tail light and the white ones are visible a long way off. Neither will "light the road" for you to see anything at a useful distance, but both will make you more visible drivers and whatnot.

    If you need light to see where you're going at night, the best bet is a helmet-mounted uber-LED light like MTB riders wear. You can get them in self-contained units that will run for over an hour on high, or with remote battery packs about the size of a cell phone that will give you 3-4 hours of high-beam that's as bright or brighter than the high-beam headlight on a car. You'll see and be seen.

    I bought some small LED bike lights and duct taped them under the deck, front and back.

    Also put an LED head torch on my helmet, which is probably more noticable for cars and such.
