Cars have had Fog Lights for decades, so why not bikes?
The FOGmate unit improves your bike's rear visibility by holding your existing Brake Light at 33% power in foggy conditions. This is roughly the equivalent of doubling your tail light brightness.

HOW IS IT OPERATED?
Without any intervention, your Brake Light functions normally. If it is foggy, or you simply would like extra visibility for the rear of your bike, start your bike's engine and if not already on*, turn on the lights. Now operate your brakes 4 times within 15 seconds. Your Brake Light will flash 3 times in acknowledgement, and the Brake Light will then illuminate at 33% power until power down.
*Since 2007, on all new bikes sold in Europe, the lights come on with the ignition, but will turn off again when the engine is cranked, this will reset the FOGmate unit, so, you should wait until the engine has been started before selecting the Fog Light mode.
IS MY BRAKE LIGHT CONTRAST DIMINISHED?
No, if using the Fog Light option, when you apply your brakes, the unit powers off the 33% output for 100 milliseconds before applying full power to your Brake Light, always ensuring maximum contrast. This is actually more noticable to a following vehicle as the brief "off" flash is very attention getting.
CAN IT BE USED ON LED TAIL/BRAKE LIGHT CLUSTERS?
Yes & No. If your bike has a 3 wire Brake/Tail light system then the answer is YES, but if it is a 2 wire system (Most modern BMWs), then sorry, the answer is NO. If in doubt, contact us with your bike model/year and we'll do our best to help.
IS IT EASY TO INSTALL?
Yes, only 4 wires. The unit comes with all necessary wiring and installation hardware. You can view the Installation Instructions here.
IS IT WATERPROOF?
Yes, all SMiDSY products are designed to tolerate the worst of British weather.
IS THERE A WARRANTY?
Yes, The unit carries our standard 12 month, no quibble warranty.
