My bike is stored so I can't look at it right away. I was wondering about the tail light. Are the same LEDs used for tail light and brake light or are there separate lights for the tail light and brake light? I have a real nice 12" long set of LEDs that would fit very nice in the red lens on the back of the trunk. Just wondering if I can use it like it were a brake and running light or not.

They are the same lights. They have two brightness levels.

That being said, they may be dual LEDs. Meaning they have two elements in them. I'm not sure about that.

I will when I get the project completed. What they are is the LED high mount brake light from a 1999 Chev Tahoe Police Package. I am sure all the Tahoes were the same for that year anyway. We had one that ducked or tried to duck under a garage door and it broke the high mount and I removed the guts. Probably get one at the wreckers and they are very bright.

Yes it's not looking too good for the LED lights. Thee is not enough room in the reflector lens on the back of the bag. I am going to try another mounting place and if none are there I will look for a slightly smaller light assy.

The Uly tail light is already scorchingly bright. Adding more lights will blind astronauts orbiting Earth. : )
