Modern Vespa

Enclosed are a few shots taken to add forward facing LED's to my Vespa GTS 250ie. The aux turn signals are needed because blockage of the OEM turn signals occurs with a spare tire/wheel mounted. I opted for LED turn signals and will tap into the turn signal aux panel. Thanks to member Bommes for pointing out this issue.

Review and observations:
1. pretty easy install
2. provides turn signal visibility as intended
3. Not as bright as OEM, but well sufficient. pictures do not capture apparent brightness
4. Moves with handle bars

Enjoy!

Looks good.
Coups be a nice way to add running lights as well.

nice work! where did you buy the lights from? I really like the looks of the frame with no turn lights (like the vintage ones) so I was thinking of painting them the same as frame color (black) and adding leds in a diffent place

Here they are from ebay:
