Default undertail question

i have had this undertail for awhile now but finally getting around to trying to figure out if i can change the tail lights or not. just wondering if anyone knows if i can

this is what my undertail kit looks like


when riding at night i have had my girlfriend tell me that there isnt much difference between the red when i break and also that my blinker lights aren't very bright and noticeable.

i havent really checked it out yet but i am assuming i can buy some brighter replacement bulbs to stick in there. also finally bought some hot bodies flushmounts yesterday! Smoke lenses. Was tired of looking at these ugly arrow ones i got on there now.

I think they are built in LED and cant be changed...BUT you can get creative, find some high quality LED ( a lot stores online) , find a circle LED unit that will fit over those ones and wire them in easily.

No, they are LEDs. If you are handy with a soldering iron you can replace them. Perhaps you can find a tail light that is a similar size and use that instead. Any integrated turn signal/rear light/brake light rear end is going to lack the resolution of the OEM setup.

Yay, more lights that can't be seen at night.

Theyre reasonably bright but, being flushmounts, there is no way there visible straight on during the day
