I was just wondering if any of you were using a LED light for your tail/brake light. What's a good tail/brake light assembly to get? Acerbis I see makes some. YZ400man told me that what he has and he likes it. I was just curious what you guys are using.......

Thanks,

I'm waiting on my '03WR to arrive. In the meantime I've been researching weight saving ideas. I intend to run a YZ fender w/an LED tailight and toss the WR's rear fender.I picked up the light at PepBoys Auto store. It's actually a clearance light for trucks or trailers.The cost was 10 bucks and it's very small(approx.3/4"X2").I'll let you know about it's durability.

I'm using one now. It is directional (you have to stand behind the bike to see it's brightest) and it allows a little more power to the headlight. Check the KLX posts under 'headlight' for some good info. Three trail rides and it still works okay,

I found a Swedish company that makes a Led Brakelight that only steals 4 Watts of power. I do not know the quality of this product. Take a look at this page in english:
