Default Ideas for tail lights?

Im getting an undertail and ditching these ugly tails on my 01 f4i. What are my options for taillights? I know I can get a tail light integrator and have my brake light double as turn signals but what other options are out there? Thanks

depending on how worried about visibility there are a few options. Clear alternatives sells an integrator with amber and red LED's in one housing that doubles as signals. These are not really DOT legal, I believe. There is also another company (UFO? not sure what its called) that sells a light that is programmable so when you press the brake it fades up or down or in from the sides. You might not know what im sayin, but it looks pretty trick.

For the rear you can put signals in the pass pegs. Search for "Passenger peg LED signals". You can also put some in the Intake grilles, "LED intake signals" if you are worried about visability these are unseen until you use them, which makes them really nice. I would never get an integrated tail but if I did i would just slow down more ovbiously and use hand signals. you cant expect people to see you signal when you are about to stop or turn.

i like the stock tail light...so im buying an undertail that uses the stock lights, and tomorrow im building a circuit to integrate the blinkers and brakes into the one tail light..should clean up nicely

i was going to put the blinkers in the passenger pegs, but at a certain angle the exhaust blocks the view

Wow your unbelievable? You ask for ideas. I show you mine and you say you hate it? You need to be a bit more tactful in your responses. Otherwise you won't be getting much advice from people on this forum if you insult them like you did to me. And yes I do take offense to how you put it. You could have said, "your undertail is not to my preference, thanks for showing me yours" Not I hate it. I will be sure to ignore your future posts when you are asking for advice noob.

I said I was getting a new undertail, as in Ive already ordered it. Why would I order an additional undertail? And I said that I hate it sarcastically, guess you missed it.
