I want to thank everyone for the praise of the new website, I hope it will fill the need to the FJ rider for many years to come.

One of the most popular items on the website so far has been the LED tail lights, either with or without the intergrated blinker. When I established the possibility the light would possibly work on the FJ, I bought the minimum to get them in hand and make sure they fit and did work without having to make an major changes to the bike. I ordered one (1) clear and one (1) smoke tail light only and two (2) smoke with the turn signals.

I have already sold both of the smoked intergrated units I bought for the and I am ready to order many more, but again, I want to stock what you guys want to buy.

I mounted the clear light this afternoon and have update the photos on the website. If you would take a look at the site and come back here and place your vote on the poll, so I can determine what you guys want to have for your bike. I will stock all four options of the light, but want to make sure I have enough of the most popular to satisfy the need.

Thanks again for the praise,

If this is what you are referring to they are a very neat option and you can also get from the same company clear indicator lenses to match the rear light.

The older I get, the faster I was

You can see both the clear and smoke versions on the website.

Look at the details of the each one to see them mounted.

I have also had them made with an intergrated turn signal option as well.

Out of the 1255 members on the site, only eight people have an opinion of the clear or smoke taillight lens. Even if you are not considering buying one at the moment, I would ask if you could take a moment and vote on your choice so I can have a better idea of what the masses would like to have.

Smoke:


Clear:


Thanks, Randy

Quick question...do tail lights not have to be red? Is it legal to have these colors? Inquiring minds need to know.... :unknown:

I believe just the light has to be red. Red lens with clear bulb or clear lens with red bulb = red.

I like the smoke lens covers, but I wonder if the clear wouldn't be brighter.  Then again, the way drivers tailgate here in Northern Virginia they probably wouldn't see the lights anyway.

Maybe they drive up real close so they can see the lights.....Time for new glasses?

Smoked version looks way cooler, will go really nice with any of the FJ colours.
