Full Version: Best LED tail light for '97
Public Discussion Forums > Mechanical/FAQ > The Garage

I know I've seen some great ones, but never did find make/supplier. I'd like a clear lens, and a really bright brake light, preferably strobing. I'm not too wrapped up with integrated turn signals, but if it comes that way, so be it.

Any help?

Not that it's super bright, but I have a rather cool UFO taillight in my garage... brand new in the box. icon_twisted.gif

remind me to unbury it. It's in the garage... it's the same model as for a CBR600 as far as I know.

Find the lens. the strobe part is easy.

I made this one myself.

Installed a 50led programmable strobe (or continuous on) light on the bottom.



Custom made the top myself

Now that looks nice. I don't trust my skills cutting a clear lens open without ruining it, though - that plastic tends to be tricky. I'd have to do something like your top half, with additional overdriven LEDs to make the brake portion - mine's a '97, and about half the size of a '99+ housing.

Someone had one at TeXXt a coupe years ago, can't remember who - but it was very bright and flashy-flashy.

You can just buy some premade LED inserts and pop them in. Much like i did with the lower one.

You have a UFO buried in your garage?

I have the integrated and really like it.

Absent any testimonials for something crazy-bright flashy strobing, I guess I'll order the CA's from John. Is the new website working yet?

Not yet but the old one is running but if you decide to get the CA one like I posted above send me an email and I will email you back an itemized invoice
with a 20% discounted price that you can pay with any major credit card or Paypal. The tail light will be direct shipped to you from Clear Alternatives in California
with their full lifetime nontransferable warranty.
