LED small light under headlight

What do you guys have replaced the small light that goes under the headlight? I don't like having an awesome LED Cyclops headlight with that yellow little bulb.

Any 194 / t-10 wedge bulb will do. I bought this one in blue, and when the headlight (cyclops 3800) is fired up it's barely noticeable. Looks great as a runner light (before I fire up the bike) alongside my other auxiliary lighting.
 
One could also buy bulk bulbs on the cheap from ebay or amazon and whatnot but according to reviews the quality is pure crap.

Is there a significant legal danger to running any other color than white?

Yes state law usually doesn't allow for anything other then white or yellow up front

I have ran Blue and now running cool blue with never being pulled over.
I don't think you can really see the light when the head light is on.

The only reason I took the blue off is because it didn't go well with my DRL scoop lights and headlight.

ryan4130 is correct though the headlight (cyclops3800) completely drowns out the blue. Not an issue. Its just a cool runner light when the bike isnt fired up. Undoubtedly you'll get a different outcome with the much weaker stock light. Cant say how other colours/spectrums will look in conjunction with either headlight.

Thanks for confirming my suspicions. At least a cool white or 'JDM' yellow led would look way better than the orange filament bulb

I really like the scoop lights, how did you do that?

The 2018 MT has dual parking lights, one on each side of the head light reflector. I’m considering ditching my stock turn signals for some flush mounts but then they can’t be seen from the forward position due to radiator scoops. I want to replace my parking lights with some bright amber led bulbs and then wire them to my turn signals. I think this would look pretty slick once I black out the reflector and install the hid projector. 

 

Can an anyone tell me if the 2018 uses the same bulb as the 2017 and earlier models? I’m thinking something like this https://www.amazon.com/SYLVANIA-Amber-Bright-Lights-Contains/dp/B01A77R6YI/ref=asc_df_B01A77R6YI/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312098740701&hvpos=1o1&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2576942796817061623&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9031570&hvtargid=pla-556627015391&psc=1

I used the new TST industries turn signals on mine and they are more of a low profile blinker but you are able to see them clearly from the front. Screenshot_20181119-181356_Gallery.thumb.jpg.dca3363b77c0b8851bc032a7c4551512.jpg

They have a hyper white running light and are very bright. If you do decide to go the route you were talking about I would love to see some pics
