Electronics » DRLs too bright for indicators/turn signals

My RS is fitted with a pair of Cree v3 daytime running lights mounted on the engine bars via a Fuzeblock, and I have no complaints about their brightness. However, someone riding ahead of me recently pointed out to me that unfortunately when my front indicators are flashing, they are pretty much invisible behind these powerful beams.

I have heard about bikes being wired up so that when the indicators come on, the DRL(s) either go off or dim to enable the indicators to be seen. Can anyone provide any more info about this? Is it likely to be standard functionality somehow built into the kit I already own? Or do I need more gizmos?

You'll need a Canbus controller (yet another gizmo) to do what you want.

I posted a video of mine in action a short while back.

Here's the link: Auxiliary lights.

Thanks Paul; sorry missed your recent post.
As it happens, someone else has just advised me that my indicators are perfectly visible; so further investigation is clearly needed before I decide to take the plunge with more gizmos!
Thanks for your PM, Fugly - will bear you in mind
