Default Mods, mods, and more mods. With pictures. Brake/tailight 42 LED,

One of my favorite mods and it's the easiest, 4 minutes.
This is a 42 LED high intensity 100 degree coverage board. It is about 5 times brighter than the stock bulb.

Here are the items I purchased yesterday to put on:

The light cluster is the one on the top left.
I have the clear lens but this will work with any lens.
Remove screw and old bulb. Plug in new cluster base. Route wires on the self adhesive tape like this:

Cut a piece of 3M Foam adhesive and place on wires, sandwiching them:

Now remove liner and stick to reflector. Replace gasket & screw and Ride!


I was truly surprised over the brightness vs. my previous 12 led bulb, this thing GLOWS BRIGHT!

I have the radiantz LED's all he way around...Brake,front and rear turns. I would be surprised if there is a brighter LED around. I went with cheaper ones the 1st time, wont do that again. I have people ask we why i ride with my brake on because the lights are so bright on the rear, then i hit the brake and they are speechless......and blind.

You're right the running lights are much brighter than any brake light and when you hit the brakes... WOW!

Don't listen to him, John.... It's a trick. The aluminum foil still works. He only wants you to switch to copper so he can get the last 3 security digits off of your credit cards!
