Hi all.

The blinkers and brakelight on my moped are pretty dim in the
daylight. I'm aware that they`ll be dim, esp when idling, as
well as the low wattage put out by the magneto (33 wats according
to my manual). Buit they are barely noticeable when the sun is
out. I wouldn't mind so much, but most of the places I ride are
populated with cops don't have much better to do than get fat on
donughts and make dumb traffic stops. "Yes officer, I used my
turn signal. You just couldn't see it . . ."

I was just wondering if anyone had used any "tricks" to get a few
more lumens out. I was thinking about maybe argon bulbs or
something. Higher wattage bulbs obviously won't help --

Brant
