M696 Integrated Tail Light + Signals

[nkryptit]

I just wanted to post my experience with a product I haven't seen installed on the forum yet.  Could be wrong.

I had seen a Light Werkes Tail Light on MonsterParts.com, but they didn't have any in stock.

So I ventured into forsaken territory (ebay) and found what looks like the exact same product, down to the turn signal lead wire color.

This is where I got it from, but it was a buy it now ebay auction for $75:

I just finished installing it and am fairly happy with it.

The intensity of the lights are fine, not any brighter than the stocker, but about the same.

It uses the same socket as the stock light, so it's plug and play as far as the running/brake go.

The turn signals are wired up using two leads with little male barrel-type disconnects attached, but they did not provide the ale side.  I luckily had a baggy of something similar that I had left over from re-running the electric on my shadow.  So I had to snip the stock turn signal connectors, strip just the live one (because the ground already inside the tail light from the tail connector) and crimp on disconnects.

All and all it was a good purchase, it's not quite as fancy as some of the other integrated lights i've seen around, but hey, it was only $75, so I can't complain.  I know I've read stories of the LEDs on these cheap ones comming loose/shorting out, so I'll keep an eye out and update.

Yeah...I thought it seemed like a decent deal...And I wasn't running any rear signals for quite some time, so anything is better than nothing.  Not the brightest in daylight, but it seems to do the trick.

[DucatiTorrey]

did you ever order another set of oberon bar end signals?

[nkryptit]

Nope...they were just too damn expensive to buy again after having the first set stolen.

[Raux]

they stole your turn signals?
where do you live? damn

i was thinking of an led pod like this under the tail of my bike as signals, might be low profile, will it work?
