Brake Light Mod

[Dage'sVew]

Hey Guys! Since Voodoo Scooter Parts is no longer active has anyone taken over offering plug 'n' play light modifications! Someone over on facebook's "Scooter Ladies" admired my flashing brake light mod and wanted to know where she could get one. Any help? Thanks!

I bought his deadlight kit and it worked pretty well.

Scooter Works is offering a plug and play deadlight kit for a very fair price now. I bought mine from ScooterWest for a bit more than the Scooter Works kit. I wonder if they install the same?

For brake lights I've always used Hyper-Lites. When my warranty expires on my Buddy I'll install a set under the rear rack OR do the SHAD led trunk base since I always run SHAD trunks/top boxes. I think the SHAD option would be easier and cleaner looking, but the Hyper-Lites would be brighter and better at getting attention from car drivers.

When switching to led's, with these kits, isn't a resistor or flasher relay thingie necessary to keep the bulbs from "racing"? Do these kits compensate for that?

When you add LED deadlights to the system, you are adding a small load in addition to the OEM incandescent bulbs. No other modifications required.

When you replace the incandescent turn signal bulbs with low-current LEDs, THEN you have to worry about how the relay responds.

I personally haven’t found the turn signal LED swap to be worth the hassle. The incandescent bulbs work fine.
