Integrated Tail Light
Just a heads up for a good deal on an LED integrated. Might see if I can talk myself into one
http://www.d2moto.com/p-5013-1997-20...t-signals.aspx Also did a coupon search. the coupon code "D2M2008" will get you an additional 15% off. Just placed my order for a total of $21.98!! |
I bought one from them about 2 months ago and installed it. No problems.
|
is it LED or regular light? I like the LED's that really light up the backend.
|
:loser:okay, just put duh on my forehead. I just read it.
|
Thanks for the heads up! Just ordered mine...:)
|
I am probably the only rider who cares but is it bright? I did the LED conversion covered on some thread here & it was nice & "dont rear end me" bright. This looks like it would be to smokey to be visible.
|
Thanks for the heads up!Mine is on it's way:)
Can someone who has this set up report on the brightness factor? |
I recognize those white rectangle resistors things, I used to have something similar on my SV. The LED's are usually a whole lot brighter than the bulbs, but those damn resistors suck. On my SV the blinkers blinked so fast that you couldn't tell the signal was on. I dunno, maybe it was just a pos suzuki. That's a damn good price, even if you stick with separate signals.

and i ordered the same day as you did,dammmmmm that sucks

I don't have this one, mine was bought from another Ebay seller. They all may be made in the same Chinese factory, don't know.
In any case I have found FOCUS of the LED to be part of the brightness issue. For mine if you are in the focus zone, it is very bright. Outside of that zone it drops off considerably. I got mine to help with the dificult to see turn signals on my undertail. I think the combination is safe but not sure I would want to depend on the turn signals of the integrated tail light alone. |
"Brightness"
As Steve said, if you're in the "focus" area they are brighter than the stock, bulb-style tail light. LED's project a directional, focused, light unlike a standard filament bulb that emits all around it. As for the turn signals, the tail light I purchased from them has alternating amber LEDs with the red running or brake lights. As far as the resistors go, buy a digital flasher at the parts store for $13 and you don't have to deal with them.

Yeah I just had gsxr_rcr install my light this afternoon. The resistors were crap and we didn't use them. I'm just gonna pick up dig flasher later on. But for now here are the results:

Timing is everything. Needed to address the removal of the stock flashers when I install my Devil Highmounts. Now i'm set. Waiting for winter to show up. 75 degrees here in NY. Lots of wet leaves mind you but still warm.
