just an update
I have had these installed for just over a year and one burnt out yesterday. Just ordered 2 more. A very cheap way to be more visible.
They are just plug and play..remove the old bulb and put these in. I have many of my riding buddies say they are so easy to spot me slowing down when I lead a ride.
2X Flashing Strobe Blinking 7443 Red Rear Alert Safety Brake Tail Stop Lights

Ordered these on Tuesday....they got here today.
Installed.
VERY bright!!!!!
Outshines my WIR strobe!
Definitely a great addition to the rear to be seen!!!!
Cheers,

yep I'm a dumb arse sometimes...... I ordered a new set thinking I would have one spare. Then I decided to take the tail light off and realized the light had came out of it's housing. After 15 minutes of trying to shake it out off the hole I finally got it out and guess what??? I stuck it back in and it worked.
so now I have 2 spare ones in the mail.
Oh well maybe I will install them in the new 2018 wing next year.....:stirthepot:
Did I say that I love mine !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:icon_mrgreen:
How do these compare to the Kuryakyn pulsing brake light controller which I bought last year and have yet to install...lol? Should I stick with that?
Thanks DavidK......just ordered mine. Anything that keeps these Dallas NASCAR drivers away from me helps...and it's getting worse here daily.
Ordered mine at end of last week... arrived today in the mail... took about 15 min to install. You will need to open both saddlebags... locate the two 10mm bolts (head facing front) and loosen them (not on very tight from factory...).
Using a plastic trim pry tool (small one from set bought at Harbor Freight months ago for the car... finally got to use one of them!), gently pull the plastic trim panel above the light fixture -- starting from the outside and gently (gently x2) pulling until you get to the top-center of the trim piece. There is a "catch" there... I used the pry tool to finesse the upper (larger trim piece over tail upwards to release from the top edge of the trim panel.
Then, pulling gently up on the upper trim panel, you can pull the entire light bar assembly out. Use a towel or something to cover the lower trim panel where license plate mounts so you don't inadvertently scratch that plastic.
Locate the two bulb holders -- twist and turn to release -- remove OEM and insert the LEDs (I used latex glove "just in case..." to avoid transferring finger oil to the LEDs). Do a test of the brakes before assembly (reverse all the steps).
I'm liking the simplicity of this mod. Flashing red lights will certainly help vehicles behind "see" that braking is occurring (I sure HOPE at least!). No need for aux. resistors or relays like when adding "Switchback" bulbs for front signals (did that yesterday).
Link for purchasing bulbs...
Thanks for the polarity tip! I got lucky (50% chance on each one that I'd insert incorrectly...both work!). The bulbs from the seller on eBay fit into the holder (plug) really tight, so at this point, I'm not too concerned about them falling out, but will keep an eye on them and maybe check after I've put on some miles (and vibration). Cheers!
