Integrated Tail lights with Smoke case?
 
So I found an integrated LED brake light with the turn signals and an extra white light on the bottom for your license tag. I was about to get it but i want to get it in smoke instead of clear. I asked the retailer on ebay and he said he sold out of those and will have more when next year's models arrive. I am new to the motorcycle game, but is this how it works? like new stuff will come in the spring and once it is sold out, you have to wait for next year? I looked everywhere and cannot find a led brake light, turn signal, license plate light combo in smoke. here is the one i found: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/99-00...#ht_2216wt_939
this is for a 2000 Honda CBR600F4 so i wasn't sure if it would be hard to find accessories for a bike this old.

Its kind of a tough question because it just depends on who his supplier is and if (any) of the actual assembly he does.

Who knows though, he might be BSing you and you will be waiting for a long time. Ill keep my eye out and if I come across a smoked one Ill let you know.

You could always just buy a clear one and put a very light tint on it....

Find a different seller.

As for the tint, you can buy "tail light tint spray" & tint it yourself. I have seen this done w/ good results. Of course, prep is key.

Good luck w/ your search.

fwiw.. the cheaper ebay ones that I have seen are sometimes not bright at all.. my Clear Alternatives one is very bright and visible.. I know they are more money.. but the quality is evident..

thanks for all the replys!
can someone give me an example of this spray that has been mentioned? if it is easy enough to spray that on, then I may use that instead. i also bought Mirrors with LED turn signals built in. It has a clear casing so it would be nice to use the spray on that as well.

also, which brand tail lights do you recommend? Turbulenz, you recommended "Clear Alternatives"? do you know where i can check those out?

oh what about these covers? seems like installation of this will be easier than the spray: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...tomotive&psc=1

Sorry, don't remember the brand(s) of the tint spray. However, the car forums have all sorts of reviews on different ones. Google "tail light tint spray" & you'll find lots.

+1 for Clear Alternatives...Turb is right. Bikebandit.com, among others, carry Clear Alternatives.

As for the tint films, I don't think they will work for this application. I could be wrong, just my $ .02.

Good luck.

license plate light?
 
thanks gotcbr! i found a clear alternatives brand led tail light with a smoke lense. problem is that it doesn't have a light for the license plate. so after i install a fender eliminator kit, i won't have a light for the license plate. how did you guys get around this??
for reference, this is the kit i was going to purchase. if you look at the picture, i won't need the turn signal lights since it will be integrated with the brake light. but i am not sure what to do about the license plate light:

i got the same fender eliminator on my bike the stock light shines through the hole in front of the plate.


also depending on ur dmv you might wanna get a clear light then do a vinal tint that you can take off for inspection time

polish man 12-21-2010 06:18 PM
