This is my CA nonintegrated taillight with the same comp werkes fender eliminator kit.. the bulb in the fender elim lights up the plate..

The first taillight I had wasnt as bright as the new revised one.. I like it.. I was just not a big fan of the integrated lights at the time.. they have grown on me.. I miht consider them if I had to replace it.. who knows...

thanks for the picture polishman. so let me get this right, you have the stock brake light with a fender eliminator kit? can you take a picture directly of the license tag area so i can see how the light is shining? i was a bit confused on how you described it. i wasn't sure if you meant the original license plate light is shining on it or the brake light.

 

no i got the integrated cler led light i bought it like that so i dont know whitch brand it is but the fender eliminator mounts the tag light under the seat and it shines through. my tail light also has a tag light on it though. i try and get a pic next time i run it prolly sat.

 

Turbulenz, thanks for the video. so you are saying the competition werkes fender eliminator kit has a license plate light included with it? i thought it didn't have one which is why i was trying to figure out how the license plate would be lit up after make the upgrades.
polishman, no rush on the picture, take your time. but i do appreciate your help.
i want to make sure i buy the right product the first time before i order and install everything.

 

alright i called competition werkes and they explained to me how the tail light works. they said how it will go into the space of your trunk and shine through a little slit above the license place holder, just like you stated polishman. so looks like the clear alternatives led light would work. it would have been nice to have the license plate light built in so that i wouldn't lose some of that trunk space but oh well.
polishman, did you notice a big loss of trunk space with the license plate light sticking in there after you installed the fender eliminator kit?

so back to the led light, looks like everyone agrees to go with Clear Alternatives over a generic brand on ebay? CA is about $135 on ebay, where as the generic brand on ebay is about $60.
The Competition Werkes fender eliminator kit is about $125 on ebay.
Do those prices sound good? I just might pull the trigger finally!

 

mine was installed when i bought the bike but i cant see you losing any space cause its really behind the trunk and all your taillight wires are there so you dont want nothing bouncin around there. the light mounts overtop of the key lock to give you an idea if you look under your seat youll see what im talkin about

 

i had this on my phone not a good pic but you get the idea

 

Here is a picture that might help... you can see the clear alternatives tailight and the fender eliminator... the round thing is the lic plate light.. the good thing is that it is a generic trailer light part that can be replaced anywhere... I think the new ones might have a rectangular light.. not sure how old mine is.. it came with the bike..


the two hooks are mounted on there so that I can tie my tail bag down...

 

hey polishman, the picture didn't come up?
thanks for the info on the trunk space. don't worry about taking a shot of the light, i think i get the idea of how it works. if you could, shoot me a picture of the trunk space when it is opened. from what you said it sounds like the trunk space isn't reduced that much. of course i am not trying to store a bunch of stuff there! just my insurance & tag paperwork, Xena XX-15 lock, tire gauge, and few key locks.

 

Turbulenz, that's a great shot! so did those hooks come with your bike or did you have to install that afterwards? also where can i get a bag similar to yours? that would be helpful on long runs. is there ever a chance of it sliding around? i'm guessing not much wind hits it since it is sitting directly behind you.
