Default Need a Brighter Taillight!!!

So I rode with a buddy for the first time and he advised me that I should look into getting a brighter taillight, turn signal, etc. This is my current setup. Any clue on how I could go about doing this?

Well, let's see... First, check your wiring to make sure its all properly spliced & connected. Then, I think my approach would be to try new &/or brighter bulbs to see if that helps. If that doesn't seem to do the trick, then start looking at new setups.

Those look really nice! Would the 1.5" or the 1.85" fit the F4i?

Did you get the LED clusters or decide against them?

decided against them, mostly for price, $40 each is pretty steep. I'm currently looking into cheaper alternatives.

You could go get a red led strip and wire it into your brake lights right under your exsisting ones.(see photo for area) This way your just adding a bit more brightness. Or you could add a strip to the left and right underside of the tail and make them blinkers/brake lights.
