F4i undertail (pics and questions)
So.........what was meant to be just me going out to my bike to put a multitool into my back seat, turned into this:
While looking under the passenger seat I decided to tear down into the undertail as the previous owner installed it. The undertail is a EuroBike GP undertail. They no longer make them and are pretty rare, I have only seen about 3 others.
I cleaned up much of the wiring and at least now I know exactly what is in there. That being said, the tail light running/brake light bulbs are 1157's, see below:
Has anyone changed out their tail light bulbs for led's? From what I have read there are direct 1157 replacement led's. I get a mixed review of the change though, as some people say they are brighter, others so the opposite. Any thoughts?
Also, on the wire harness that connects the 2 brake/running lights there was this which was not plugged into anything and was just wrapped in electrical tape:
Any idea what this is?

Well word to the wise after some research and testing there are not too many brake/running light less that are better than your conventional incandescent bulb.
You have to have a specific housing in order for the led's to be brighter than regular bulbs. Im scratching switching out my taillights for led's. Even with my brake/running lights being 2 circles, its safer to have regular bulbs.
I have decided my new project will be installing HID's.
Also, morning BUMP for what the hell that extra plug is...?
