Some of the guys just get a light at wallmart leds of course for under 10.00

Some how I started 2 threads man.

But any way a look on walmart's site,

Did not see 1 with this size... or look like this 1.
 
They won't look like that. It's just a simple rectangular trailer brake light.

I think it is a running light but can be used as either. I have used the cheap one with bulbs (not LED's) on two of my Maxes. On my first it was wired as a running light. On my current Max it is wired as a brake light. Simple bolt on and fits perfectly. If I remember correctly, have to drill a small hole in the backing plate for the wire from the light to pass through.

They are available in red, amber and clear lenses. I used the red but the clear with a red bulb might be nice.
 
Hi Sean thanks for the info, I check with the seller via email he said what's in the add is what will be ship out 3 wire working led lights brake/running. If not like the add he will refund my money back.

I used a LED light from the truck stop. it is almost like it was built for the vmax.
I did have to install a diode in the harness because there was a back feed issue between the lights. i use it only as a third brake light.

Is that one of the "Model 19" trailer running lights that has been mentioned in other threads? My current tailgrab light has 4 LEDs out so far and I am looking at swapping it as well (currently wired as running and brake).
 
If it fits nice it will be a nice add on seeing how trailer light mod is only running light or brake not both.. if this fits good and us bright both running and brake I will be buying one!!! What's the link for this

Thats sweet!!!! I was looking for a smoked one to match my tail light! I started doing research to find an integrated with signals so I could have that and cbr light!!! Good info man
 
Yes but u pay for what you get sometimes.... this might not fit anyways it 8" wide.. I believe thats to wide :(
 
I just installed this one, it was not quite long enough to cover the reflector hole so I made a filler with two pieces of vinyl siding installed backwards and gave the whole this a couple coats of black bumper/ trim paint.

It is a tail and brake light and only a half inch thick, I liked the idea of the low profile, anyway the price is right and a piece of cake to install.

Hmm just noticed the price on my link above says $119.00 :eusa_liar:. I only paid $9.00? not sure, must be a typo.
 
Guy's the light came in. It was ship from China I thought was being ship in the US.
But it's here, And it's not look the 1 I soon on ebay.

The light is install now. I went for a ride and some HD rider's pull up on me and they like the rear light a lot and ask me where did I get it.

The light-when the running lights is on it go's from the middle out wards. When you use the brake the light go's to a full light. This I did not no really cool.
And cars notice me right away from behind.
