Default Integrated tail lights?

I read alot of post bout different tail options. It seems like the simplest and cleanest would be to get the integrated tail light with built in blinkers and relocate the license plate with a separate piece from ebay all done for about $100. However, I wonder if the light missing from the plate will be illegal in CA, and I wonder if taking all the stuff off the stock exhaust might not look as good. Has anyone done a similar mod with the stock exhaust?

I am sure that it would be illegal...I know it is in OH. So this is what I did. I started with the Comp Werkes eliminator and did not like the cheesy little lights they give you, so I bought the Clear Alternatives tail light and put that on. So all I am really using off of the Comp Werkes is the license bracket and the relocation of the light. More $$ than I needed to spend, but that is how it ended up. It looks really clean though, and I get a lot of compliments on it. Here is a pic for you. Not sure if it will have enough detail. Let me know...I can get you a better pic if you want.

That looks pretty sweet. I ordered one that has the plate light and has little blinkers attached to it also. Hopefully it will look good. I will post some pics when I put it on. I might still want to get the integrated blinkers one. Thanx tpgpz.

I did the Jardine Fender Eliminator, CA Integrated Tail light and use LED Tag bolts. It looks good. Not the brightest lights, but it's legal.

ya can't be serious
pump & drain the rear brake line first
unscrew and take off the stock connector (DO NOT lose the stock O-Ring washer 14.8 x 2.4)
put the new reservoir in with the stock O-Ring washer
refill and bleed the line ... takes less than 15 minutes if you have the right tools

Please keep a wet rag handy to wipe off any spilled brake fluid on plastic & metal components

p.s.
if Rizoma & G-Craft are too expensive for your budget, get for the 15cc plastic Brembo reservoir that can be hooked up to the stock tubing.
