something could made up for at most a fiver, from a component supplier (maplins, maybe, altho they are not the cheapest)
The price £15 is for a pair .. and they come with the mounting templates and wires .. i thought it was cheap just to light up my mudguards .. let me know if you know where i can get LED marker lights cheaper please ;D

bare in mind a 12v white led probably costs 10p wholesale - £15 is one hell of a mark-up, though i do agree they have ironed out the wrinkles with this kit.
Go to your local maplins and take a look at the LED display, some of the latest LED-tech is pretty cool.
also, this sort of thing might be good:

enter in the ebay search box - LED running lights.

Depending on brightness of the L.E.D, supplier etc, a white L.E.D. can cost about £3 plus V.A.T, wholesale.
Blue is the next expensive, followed by, in no particular order, red, green and amber.

i was really pointing out how little these companies pay for them - which is why i pointed to maplin, as they supply directly and thats more like what joe-public will pay.
this is where i get them for work:

Remind me, did you get your MOT ok?
BB
Nope no MOT yet ... still waiting for someone to sort out my Handbrake and my Footbrake Light switch is dodgy .. had the Trike 5 weeks now .. seems like i'll Never get it on the road ! >:(
You got someone to help you out?
BB
Im between a rock and a hard place .. Basically the guy at the MOT station ( riverside in Melks) say's the handbrake system need's "re-engineering" But the guy i bought the Trike from say's the bloke that built the trike about 7yrs ago knows what he's doing and up until last Aug 2010 it's worked fine .. i tried to repair the cable ( re-solder t :ohe nipple ) but it keeps snapping ?!?!? "HELP"
