Anybody got a CA integrated LED taillight..

cbr74 · 03-15-2007

for a 900 or a Meanie? I just got mine and it doesn't fit and it doesn't look like the one on CA's website... I'm usually pretty handy with these types of things... but this LED board just doesn't seem right.

Any help is appreciated.

Who is CA?

I had an integrated LED on my Mean Streak and it fit fine.

cbr74, Is this the tail light that you ordered?
Code: CTL-0054-L
Price: $69.99
If so, I would email them and asking why they goofed?
Good Luck

When I first ordered mine I received a clear lense but it came with a round LED board w/spacer to put behind it. I had to re-order just the LED panel that looks custom fit to the rear meanie housing. Works great and I always get compliments about it. I also added the "Back Off XP" to the system.

oh yea....I also removed the stock bulb reflector from the housing.It makes the board sit better in its new home.

Mean06 does your board look like this one?

Because mine doesn't.

I ordered one for my 2000... before they had one for the 2000. J&P had it mislabled in their catalog. The one I got was for a Meanie and it looked like the one you show above.

Yeah, that one looks about right. Mine came with the clear lense and I had ordered the smoke. Check back with them, they may have messed up the order...

Well, I did call them and they were under the impression I was doing something wrong with the install so to remedy this they are sending me their demo model so I can see how it's installed. Well I figure their demo model has to have the right board so I'll just send the wrong one back to them. Good customer service... odd... but good.

I got mine from Cruisecustomizing. I removed the reflector and it did fit better. I had to get longer screws from the hardware store. All they sent me was the lens and the board, no instructions or other parts. I wrote to Clear Alternatives about the fast blinking of the signal lights and they sent me 2 ceramic looking resistors. Blinking and auto turn off of signals working perfectly now.

cbr74 · 03-15-2007

The box came with lens, board, flasher, some wire taps, 2 longer screws and some crappy small instructions that are of little help but I could have figured it out if they'd sent me the right board.

Mean06 · 03-15-2007

Yes cbr74, The second board that I received looked just like that.

Clear Alternatives seem to screw up a lot! Oh well, as long as they take care of you after their mistake to put things right.
