Another LED Brake/tail light option

dmax1 · Mar 9, 2014

I saw this LED tail/brake light without integrated turn signals though for the max. It is plug and play as wiring harness included. They will even put the oem connectors for your specific application on the harness (for a fee) otherwise you have to put the ends on yourself. Only drawback is the price.

And they think people will pay that?

I did the same light to my 2002 vmax for a total of $35 wiring and all. Look on ebay you can get that same light for alot less. look up axle plate and all you have to do is drill two holes in it and mount it to your stock plate holder and wire it. If anyone want more detail let me know.

I guess the expensive part is the billet plate holder.
I had one before. The led is not bright enough to be noticed during daylight. I ended up added an extra super bright brake light in place of the reflector to compensate.
The fitting is perfect and it's looking good though.

This one has a clear lens but the seller usually have red lense too. These are really amazingly bright.

Yeah the same one, could not see on my phone that it was the same.
Same seller, so it must be the one.

You can go to walmart and find the same size in an LED for a little over $5.00. That's what I have done fits perfect.

These are standard trailer marker lights available in red or clear, LED or bulb at any trailer supply, Wal-Mart and probably Harbor Freight. Under $10 in any configuration. I have bought two red and one clear with the bulbs as they are cheaper and easier to find. Very easy to install as running or brake lights. I have done it both ways and currently have it set up in red as a brake light.

I'm seriously considering this Die-cast 60 LED Cateye light, it should work well.

I like that I won't have to do anything but remove the Old Brick Tailight and Bolt this one on it it's place.
And with 60 LEDs it should be plenty bright.
The pictures are of the UFO Tail light which costs $135 and the one I'm going to use sells for $34, that's a heck of a difference.
And if I'm not happy with the brightness, I figure I'll just add 1 or 2 light bars near the reflector area like Michael's post above.

They should be able to function as both. Check this link:

I've used one of these to make my led light on the grab bar work as both running and brake

=!. both my replacement reflector light and taillight each function as a brake and tail light. More lights the better I say.
