My 60 LED taillight mod

Well, that useless stock taillight is finally gone... I don't think anyone should have a problem seeing that I am in front of them now.

As you can see, I removed the original, including the extra "fender" which it was mounted on (it was one piece). I added this 60 Diode LED red oval taillight that you would use on a big rig, and mounted the bracket to the bottom of the rack (it is welded on there). I also angled my license plate down, this way it isn't hidden by the new light... And it is probably more legal as it is actually able to be read now... It used to be way too steep.

I do need to still add a license light, which I will do when I'm not feeling so lazy, and I need to put the reflector back on.

I had to turn off the flash to make it work, this is with the lights on, and only the taillight (brakes not applied).

And now with the lights off, still only the taillight...
