just been given a pack of "daytime running" leds to play with

just wondering if i should rig something up for my bike?

either down the front of my fork blades would look cool

only issue is, they are 12v but low amps

hmmmm

the leds are in groups of 3 but look like a block of light on the pic

ideas? or is it tacky?

    I'd put them facing forward on the forks on the basis that forward-facing lights are white (which is way reversing lights are white, innit), rear-facing red, and side running lights on cars are amber. Have always quite fancied amber side-facing lights in my bar-ends for that reason.
    Sometimes parts break. Sometimes you crash. Sometimes it’s your fault.

    3x18650s in series should do the trick? Or is that too simplistic...

    Mount them to your legs.
