I have been looking for the smoke lenses for my GIVI knock off top box. For those that don't know , RPM is a GIVI distributor and was able to order me a set of lenses. I did get the center brake light lens, but a little modification needs to be done before I can mount it. rpmracing.ca.com

The results are exactly what I was looking for.


This with the original red lenses.



The Smoke lenses installed.





With the running lights on.



With the brake light on.

Nice work Fred.  I've got the same top box and was planning to install a brake light / running light on the center lens this winter.  What light set up did you use? Home made wire harness or something off the shelf??

I used LED light strips that I found on eBay and made my own wire harness to tie everything together. Simple spade connectors are used for a disconnect.

I like the connector that Alan used in his post. I may install a 3 pin weather proof connector over the winter.

The same seller has 3-pin connectors as well.

They are pretty inexpensive.
