I would wire these to a switch so I could turn them on after I shut the bike down... so that I'm not sitting in complete darkness trying to fumble my way to the door.

    Further, I'd wire the off switch through a timer so the lights stay on for about 30 seconds while I walk to my door.
    That's a great idea. I wish they would come up with some kinda accent ring around the headlight, like Angel Eyes for the non HID crowd.

    Why not just the timer and forego the switch then? I could see doing that myself... Except I never trust the timers!

    When I have groceries in the bike I need a couple of trips to get everything unloaded which takes more than 30 seconds.

    Interesting though... I like the concept of simplicity... maybe a 5 minute timer would work instead of the switch.

    That's a pretty good idea. This may work for that application. http://www.delcity.net/store/Time-De...5.h_804416.t_1

    The Kuryakyn Skinni Minni's are the easiest for what you might be in reference to around the headlights.

    I was thinking more along the lines of a solid continous bezel lit the same as the tank badge light that would go around each headlight, don't know if it would be do able or not.
