Budget DIY rear led brake/running 11 Months, 1 Week ago

In an effort to have some kind off extra rear brake/run lights I installed some LED strips. I soldered 1 LED strip into the brake & 1 strip into the running wire. Then mounted them to the bottom of the license plate. Better safety,very easy. Cost $13-ebay

This is temporary till I change out the rear end & doesn't break the bank in my quest to be a bagger. (Reckless, bags, true duals)cha-ching

Sorry hard to get good pics cause off the brightness:

Doesn't stand out to much when off. Bottom of plate

I found a led bar at advance auto a while back. It bolts to to tag bolts, and even has a white led tag light. Think it was maybe $20 over in the tuner light section. Good job tho!
