What's up guys, I was wondering what kind of other tail lights the BLAST accepts? I want to use a light that isn't as long as the stock light, because I'm making a fender eliminator and the long light just doesen't look right to me. I just need to know the power specs so I can start looking. Thanks

Most any tail light will work. What you need to watch out for is Halogen or high powered lights that heat up a lot or draw a lot of power. LEDs rarely fit into this category as do most anything sold as a tail light.

Well, while waiting for my taillight/fender eliminator to arrive I got rid of the stock taillight/plate holder and made my own. I made it out of some sheet aluminum I got at Lowes (they also had thick steel plate, wish I knew this a while ago). I dremeled the aluminum and bent it up to make a new bracket. When I get my new fender eliminator I'll switch it but still use this bracket. I bent tabs to hold the blinkers as well. What do yall think?
