Default Lighting updrades

I am looking to upgrade my lights on my '06 gsxr 750. Anyone have any experience with brighter headlights and tail lights? Also anyone have any ideas for additional lighting. I saw the post the other day with the mulitcolor neon lights on his yellow gsxr, and I don't want anything that wild, but a little extra light can't hurt. I want a simple clean look that will help me to be more visible.

Do the turn signals on a GSXR also work as running lights?

If not you may want to check out www.customled.com and their Magic Blinker. I used it on my bike to have running lights (LED) front and rear.

You can also upgrade the headlight bulb or go HID.

I leave for work at 5am so it's always dark. I want to be as visible as possible to sleepy-eyed drivers.

also check out www.customdynamics.com

I bought one of their LED hardboards and made a custom brake light out of it. Very bright.

I put the Mtec in my 06 750 and I'm pretty happy with them.

My 750 with the Mtecs. Picture quality isn't that great but it gives you an idea of how they look.

I'd say that the MTEC's are the best bulbs on the market.
If you want it really bright though then get an HID kit. Hidplanet.com has a large amount of info on how to retrofit them to cars and bikes.
