Rene N Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Does anybody know how to enable the spinning angle lights (daytime running lights) on an US model as seen is this video from the UK? You can see the spinning lights about 2 min and 25 secs into the YouTube video. Link to comment
realshelby Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Yes, just take a video of yours. LED lights tend to flicker. What you are seeing is the cameras "shutter effect" where sometimes the LED's are on and bright, sometimes not. The human eye sees them as "on". Link to comment
Copper Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 That video is from California, not the UK. As said above the lights are not actually flickering, just a result of the camera. Link to comment
Rene N Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 Just took a video of my bike with my iPhone, cannot reproduce the "shutter effect". That typical happens at multiple frequencies if a mechanical shutter is used. I think electronic recording doesn't show this effect. Link to comment
Rene N Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 Spinning or pulsating lights would be a great safety feature !!! Link to comment

I am betting some will have the lights on, some off. Depends on shutter speeds on video or still. My Sony HD camera/video does it. Link to comment
