Been Around the Block
Hey guys, I am shopping around for a tail light and thought I would get some opinions here. Does anybody know of a small bright LED tail light that is decent quality? I have been thinking about getting this one but am worried that it won't be very bright and/or will be poor quality:

I want something fairly small like this with a similar shape (don't really want a round light) but it seems like they are all cheap chinese units. I have seen others that look bright but are huge. I don't want to pay hundreds of dollars for a tail light but at the same time I want something that will be bright and won't fall apart after a hundred miles. Anyone have any other suggestions?
 
I have a similar light on my cb750, way brighter then stock. 12 bucks free shipping with licence plate bracket.
 
I would suggest a taillight housing that takes a standard 12v bulb similar to www.ledlight.com/s25-32-led-light.aspx
 
Yeah, the only problem is finding one small enough that will still fit a bulb like that.
 
Thanks everyone, I actually just saw a guy riding a Suzuki dr with this light yesterday and it looked good. I think I'll pull the trigger on it. Thanks for all the help!
 
Yeah, I am sure it has to be coated with lead and packaged up by a 9 year old blind girl in China before it gets shipped. I am not in too big of a rush though.

That is exactly the shape I have been looking for, let us know how it works!
 
K&S actually makes an almost identical light. Its considerably more expensive, but at least I can have it in a couple days and I can talk to the rep at our shop if I have any issues. I'll have to post about my results tomorrow.

I got that tail light in and I was pleasantly surprised at its brightness. Only thing that was strange was that yellow was ground, red was power and black was brake? Strange. Anyways here are some pictures for you to gaze upon. The pictures really don't do this light justice as my camera was auto adjusting to the extreme. Pretty sure Dime City has this same light for $43 bucks and I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again.

Awesome, thanks for the pics! According to the tracking information, mine is on its way across China on a rickshaw right now.
 
No problemo man. That's the bad thing about China is the shipping. Most everything we order here at our shop is two days shipping time and I have trouble with even that...
 
Well I got the light today, didn't take as long as I thought it would. I haven't had a chance to hook it up yet but as soon as I do I'll post some pics.
 
Lil' bit pricier, but I bought this one and like it.
