Smoked Integrated Tail light...???
So I just ordered me a Smoked Integrated Tail light last night for my bike, because I'm ready to put my baby back together.
This is what I ordered! Amazon.com: Motorcycle Integrated LED Tail Light Brake Signal Light with Smoke Lens for Honda CBR 600 CBR600 F4i 2001 2002 2003: Sports & Outdoors My question is, i'm getting mouth now about it being smoked and if it is legal, well when I ordered it, it states that it's not DOT approved "haha" so I knew that but didn't really care. I live in NC, I have looked and read everything on state laws and cannot find anything that its illegal other than them stating it needs to be seen at least 500ft away from the vehicle behind you. Does anyone have this particular tail light on there bike.....if so have you had any problems? |
I have the same one on my bike and have never gotten in trouble. Really hard to say what's illegal on a bike since you can use hand motions all day if you wanted to and get away with it much easier for turning and stopping if you got pulled over.

That's what I said, but just wanted someone's opinion....thanks I'm not really worried about it, just as long as it's visible! Expecting it by Friday hopefully! |
Do all the mods you want but keep the oem one just in case...if the cop wants to pull you over, there's plenty of reason they can write you up...keep the oem part in case you get a fix tick....

oh yea I will keep it!

1. Stick another decal not there and soon you will forget...
2. Once a while, hunt on eBay, you'll be surprise when opportunity present itself. When price is right, replace it.... Just hope that's all seller was hiding... |

I was wanting to paint the bike, custom. But I didn't really want to change the whole stock look. Plus I love the red. I honestly dont think the seller knew it was there....he told me everything about the bike other than that spot. The bike has been perfect since I got...took it to the shop and everything was good sooo.. |
As long as the tail light is red, the turns are amber and clearly visible (even in
daylight) while the bike is operating, you should be fine. What the lenses look like when parked is irrelevant to road safety. That's my take, although I haven't actually done the research to verify it. But I wouldn't hesitate to mount those on my bike, if I had the desire. On the other issue of DOT certification... A lot of the lack of DOT-approval is the cost of the testing procedure, to gain it. Smaller companies will forgo the claim, to save production costs. So it's not automatically a bad thing. Hope this helps, Ern |
