Has anyone installed Cyclops or Weiser LED turn signals/running lights?

Both of these companies make LED inserts for the turn signals that convert them to either DRLs for the fronts or brake lights on the back (when not signaling a turn). Has anyone installed these? Logically, it seems they'd need at least one additional wire run and I'm wondering about the difficulty.

I've seen bikes with their aux lights on during the day and the triangle effect really seems to increase visibility, so that's my motivation.

Thanks.

I have run both, on different bikes, and they work well. I prefer using Auxiliary lights, such as the Clearwater Darla, to provide the lighting "triangle" effect in the front for most of my motorcycles. My dual sport has the Cyclops LED's upfront and they are better than stock, but (IMHO) not a effective as discrete Auxiliary lights.

My 2020RS came with conventional bulb turn signals and now has the Weiser lights with plain turn signal front and combo rear signal light (turn signal and brake light). Fitting the locking piece took a bit of sanding so that the would engage properly in the turn signal housing. Definite improvement over the OEM lighting.

As I already had a Hex EZ CAN installed (to control the aux front lights) I used a circuit on to provide the brake signal input to the rear set of blinkers. The HEX and Denali CAN adapter will also provide other options for the brake function, such as daylight vs nighttime illumination level, inertia braking indication, pulsing ,etc. And you are correct that you need an additional wire to use the secondary function of the Weiser LED.

Paul,
I have had good support from both Cyclops and Weiser, and as previously mentioned, both products work very well. Price wise, the Cyclops Evolution LED setup is considerably cheaper. I went with the Weiser LEDs on my RS as I wanted turn signal only in the front signals. Cost wise it was close to what Cyclops LEDs would have cost. If it matters, you also have the choice of Red brake/Amber turn or Red brake/Red turn with Weiser.

I believe that the HexEzCan and the Denali CANsmart are the same unit. The have the same number of ports, amp capacity and the software appears to be the same as well.
There are a number of advantages to using a CAN adapter, not the least is the elimination of additional fuses and relays when adding new circuits to the bike. Essentially plug and play (though you do have to configure each circuit through the software).

I can confirm they are the same units with same software. The difference is in the wiring connectors. The Denali unit is plug'n'play with Denali light connectors. Hex's version uses generic pigtails you wire yourself.

fwiw, I'll be adding front aux lights and run/brake/amber turn via Hex this winter and can share pix and wiring as I go if helpful

I had some protracted negotiations with Weiser about being the UK distributor for them but couldn't get my head around expecting my customers to pay £400 for two pairs of indicators that they had to assemble themselves using the OE housings and connect it all via PosiTap connections instead of sealed connectors.
I walked away

Did you talk to Cyclops?

No I didn't as I am a Denali agent, Cyclops would of been to close to conflict of interest. Weiser was a different proposal which I like the idea of, the execution however I was less happy so and discussing this with the owner pretty much sealed my decision........

I ordered a set, along with a Hex EZcan, from Cyclops. I also started taking the body panels off. Cyclops was very helpful and gave me $50 off for being a repeat customer. So that's good.

On the other hand, routing the wires cleanly will be no fun.

I finished the installation today. Overall, I'm very happy with them. Both ends are bright and attention grabbing which is what I wanted. I especially like that that I don't have anything hanging off the bike that wasn't there in the first place, but at the same time I get the light triangle in front and a lot more brake light area (and brighter) in back. I'd say they're pretty idea for the RS. On a GS, I might have been more inclined to go with regular aux lights in front.

Installation was a bit of a PITA. I had to remove all bodywork from the bike with the exception of the upper most fair panels (the ones the mirrors are on top of and that goes around the headlights). I took pictures of the install and I'd be happy to describe what I did if it's useful to anyone.
