Title: haha new LED tail light
Post by: JeremyP on March 29, 2008, 05:13:12 PM
Well i was at pep-boys today and i saw they had a LED tail/brake trailer light with a license plate light built in. I think the brake light has 12 LEDs
What the heck! i gave it a shot! it was only 24 bucks.
And the results are very satisfactory!

it is definitely still noticeable from the side. but i also have the white LEDs all over the bike. So its not a huge deal

and yes it is a little big... but i bet no one else has one just like it!  :flipoff:

I almost bid on a set of used exhaust like that to see if I could fit them on the GS.  :laugh:

Autozone had a bunch of those oblong LED lights, dual intensity. It just did fit in the gs's rear... but I was too lazy to do it. Went back to stock. :)

That's crazy bright, like and sv or brighter. :)
