2021 Honda CB 125 R daytime running lights.

[Granty]

Had the above bike a couple of weeks. Its fitted with indicators either side of the headlight. These act as daytime running lights. I'm not happy with them and I suspect other road users, and  especially those waiting at nearside road junctions view them with some confusion.

 

They have the orange led bulbs and when turning either way one is flashing the other is static. I can't change the led's to white so I'm going to get some advice on how to isolate the continuous lit bit.

 

I've had two cars pull out in front of me from a nearside junction. I suspect although not a hundred percent, a quick look by the driver and they saw orange and mistook what they saw to be a left turn indication.

 

Some reviewing media riders have described them as a nice touch. I don't think there's any point having them. The bike has a nice round lit headlight when it's on the road.

 

It's six hundred mile service is coming up and I'm going to ask if it's possible to isolate the continuous on bit. 

 

Regards.

Makes sense to stop them being on all the time if you think they might be confusing other drivers.

A mate has the same on his CB300R. He's not had any problems and I was saying this morning at the top of the Horseshoe Pass how well they work well as DRLs.

Hi all.

 

I still think they could be confusing to some. Not the best of pics.

 

Regards.
