Did a search and came up with 0 results.

So, has anyone fitted DRL's to a Griso, if so where did you mount them? Any particular recommendations? Photo would be good too.

Thanks :)
 
In Norway it is mandatory for all vehicles to have DRL. Makes it much easier to see other trafficants, especially mc´s.
 
Since the headlight is on automatically, I'm assuming Grommitt is talking about adding some LEDs up front (like Audi, Mercedes and Porsche). Should be easy enough to tap into the existing headlight circuit. LEDs don't draw much current.
 
I've mounted some small lights to the front fender mounts. I found some inexpensive lights at http://www.eagleeyelights.com. I was looking for lights for conspicuity.

These lights take standard MR-11 bulbs. They came with 20w halogen bulbs. I've replaced those with some Phillips MR-11 LED bulbs I got from a local store that sold landscape lighting. The housing is aluminum but the bezel is plastic along with the mounts. There is no bulb socket; just 2 wires with a connector to slide over the pins. Pretty simple, but if they break I won't be out nearly as much $ as some high end lights like Motolights or Clearwater.

Here's some pictures. Apologies as they aren't the best....I can take more details ones if anyone is interested.

On my previous GRiSO I mounted a set of PIAA 1100x spot/running lights on my GIVI A770 faring by using a longer bolt in the lower mount of the A770.

Then I mounted two waterproof switches into the underside of the left cowling. A SPST for the PIAA lights and a DPDT for the hi-off-lo switch controlling the grip heaters.
