Custom tail light

[Captmilk]

I'm looking for any ideas on a custom tail light I can t stand my monsterous stock one. If you have any ideas or pics please post them.

make one out of a beer can or get one off an old car

Make one that fits the theme of your bike. Is it a bobber? Tail light in-a-can is always an option. Or any light off another vehicle.

Check out lowbrowcustoms.com, they have a DIY section and a thing how to make your own tail light.

You can pick a similar light up on Speedway's site for about $40 with a chrome bezel, black body and LED, with or without plate light. Keep in mind, this style of light has holes in the bucket at both top and bottom, so you may need to fill the hole on top.

Nice light. I have one sitting on my workbench.

Also, it isn't a small light. If you're looking for inconspicuous, this isn't it.

I got one of these

http://www.class8truckparts.com/TruckLite-Beehive-Design-Bulb-Replaceable-Red/M/B0033C4FX0.htm

and pulled the single element bulb and socket guts out, replacing it with a dual element socket guts and mini bulb. Now it works as a tail/stop. Next I will strip the paint off and either copper plate it or spray the bare metal with Bronze anodizing-look paint. DOing the same plating/painting to the headlight bucket and a few engine parts.

Do i need to get a converter to use a LED light?

 

[malloym]

depends on how you want to use the LEDS.

I'm planning on running some of these on my cafe project. They'll conform to the curved rear of my bum-stop seat.

i got my LED 9 bulb flexable strip out of the JP cycles catalog.

I'm just now seeing this thread. TWM I'd love to see how you mounted your LED setup. I'm a bit new at fabrication, but I learn quick. I put on a couple dual headlights and I'd love those LEDs on my ride.

This is the light that goes on the top of a tractor-trailer cab that I turned into a tail/brake light.

This is what i did. I get alot on compliments on it.

Is that the Custom Dynamics LED with Red for tail/brake and amber for turn signals?
