I got the Clear Alternative taillight with the blinkers built in and I wired it myself because I didn't want to pay the dealership "who knows how much." works great but,the only problem is that I don't have a running light. I was wondering what I need to do or what I wired wrong if anyone had info or pictures of how I need to wire it that would be great. Thanks, -Tony | ||

I forgot to say I have been pulled over two times now for this. I got warnings both time but I'm getting sick of it. | ||

I have the integrated brake/signal light (with clear lens) from XBLights (www.xblights.com). It comes with running lights. It hooks up like a stock brake light, so the running light feature is "built-in" and there is nothing special that I had to do. Which light did you get? | ||

I would definitely consider a clear lens with a red LED. Getting rid of the red tail light lense would be sharp. I'm sticking with the stock turn signals (they work now too!) as I like the separation and contrasting color compared to the tail light. I always think back to following my bud on his Busa with his trick integrated undertail. I missed his signals all the time and I knew what to look for! | ||

i mounted my turn signals to the side of my undertail with a 3/8 hole and mounted my license plate directly where the bracket went its legal in louisiana but i dont know where else it would be | ||

With the clear alternatives taillight on my other bike I had to switch the running and brake light wires in the plug. Try that and see if it might work. D | ||

Jurglbuell, Thanks I'll give that a try. You did have this problem then??? I have the smoked black tail lense. Thanks Again, -Tony | ||
| Mrncgy1 |
Pariah, I got the smoked taillight from clearalternatives I went to their website today to try and get some help but the part they sent me was not even listed so I'm really confused. | ||

Tony, I had a problem with the running lights coming on when the brake was activated and the brake light circuit on all the time. Quick wire switch fixed it for me. On an other note, I found the smoke w/red bulb kit on the website under 02-08 Firebolt. | ||

Sorry I couldn't help... haven't heard about clearalternatives before (I will check out). Good luck! | ||
| Mrncgy1 |
Thanks guys. I'll try switching around some wires and see what happens. -Tony | ||

Wow...That's a huge difference, Robert! Hope you don't mind, but I gotta post those brightness comparison pics here... Clear Alternatives:  XB Lights:  | ||

I'm very happy with my XBLights piece (clear lens, integrated signals)... passed safety inspection without any external turn signals no problem. Brake and signal lights are HIGHLY visible (brake is way better than stock, signals are at least as good as stock)!   Running lights are highly visible, too:  And it's really nice not having external/defective rear signals...  BEFORE:  AFTER:  (Message edited by Pariah on January 25, 2009) | ||
