Hi! I just got home with my new Liberty 150S. Super excited. Can't figure out what the orange bulbs in the front behind the white running lights do if anything. Probably something obvious I am not thinking of. Thanks!

Those are the original turn signals for non-US market. DOT says they have to be further out from the center, hence the stalks on your headset. A lot of bikes have them. Some people wire them and get rid of the stocks. Some people wire them as deadlights and put white 6000k LED bulbls in the sockets.

In the US market, those are running lights. Ever where else, they are turn signals.

Read page 63-A-4 in owner's manual for the secret switch.

No, just kidding.
Yeah - those amber lights can be wired/activated by following Robot's DIY instructions.
Frankly I do not like his mod....the amber light is blinking in there along side the always on white LED.
Surely - in Europe the white DRL LED shuts off when turn signal is activated!? (as seen on newer American cars with LED DRL on the front. They shut off on that side while turn signal is on)

In any event - I much prefer the turn signal pods. They are very visible....and I have no vanity which needs attending to - to remove them!

Good color bike!
if I could have a second Liberty - it'd be white.
O.S.

I hated the fact that the white running light didn't turn off when the amber blinker turned on as well. Needless to say, I didn't remove the pods on the handlebars. Left it the stock. BUT Robots video shows you how to get inside that solid front panel!
