Spring Hill, Tennessee | Nothing revolutionary, but I had an idea to use some LED light strips around the tail light assembly to enhance the performance of the rear lighting set-up. Also, the rear bulbs are now LED's as well. I like the way it turned out....thought I would share..... |

Spring Hill, Tennessee | I took a video, but to big to upload to the forum. If you send me you email....I could send the video directly? I am working on a smaller file of the video too.
Used all Radiantz lights. More expensive than some, but the quality is well worth it in my opinion. They also have an online coupon code you can use to save a few dollars! |

Spring Hill, Tennessee | The bulb is called the Z Tower bulb. The picture is deceiving because the Vision requires the 3157 connection end. The strips are called the Z Flex. I used the foot long clear with red LED's. Amazing difference as I hope you will all see soon in the video! |

How did you get middle loght to blink.
The middle bulb is not blinking. I used LED strips and mounted them right beside the taillight housing. Tapped into the blinker bulb so it would only blink...not run constant. I figured I would have enough brightness with the replacement bulbs. I wanted to make sure I got your attention when I was turning and braking! |

| Do you happen to have a picture of the lights without them on so we can see how they look and where they are installed? |

Spring Hill, Tennessee | Here is a picture of the LED Strips mounted around the rear housing. I simply sneaked the wiring in behind the housing as I was reinstalling. Mounted the light strips onto the "M" rear piece, but so close to the taillight housing you can hardly tell. |

I do not have a pic Pre-Install. I'm very sorry! I really didn't think this would be of to much interest to anyone. I was proud of it, so I shared, but most of you are way smarter about this stuff than I am! LOL. You guys teach me so much by ready your post!
You can see the lights from the Radiantz website if that will help at all?

They are the Z Flex strips. |

Those bulbs are pricey! Are they not bright enough on their own that you needed to add the extra led strips? |

Spring Hill, Tennessee | They are more expensive than most. No argument here! And they are some really bright light too! I was willing to spend the money for my Vision.
The brightness level is personal preference? I guess when people stop saying "I didn't see the motorcycle"......I'll also stop trying to make my Vision visible from space? |

| Thanks Tenn. Vision, I was just curious what the lamps look like when the leds are not on. I have been thinking about adding to mine but trying to find a way to hide the lights so ya cant see them until I apply the lights....You did a nice job and thanks for posting. Dwight |

I did some searching for the bulbs - found some on-line for $20 each. When I look at the diagram, there are 6 bulbs to replace = $120 + shipping/tax/etc. PRICEY !
