Whelen TIR3 Brake Light?

[53driver]

Has anyone installed the Whelen TIR3 strobe light where the rear reflector is right above the license plate with success?

Yes.

Any issues , complications?

Remounting the reflector near the bottom center of the fender - getting it exactly centered for my OCD proved too difficult, and it's off by an 1/16". Lol.

I used the Kury brake lighting harness (plugs into a connector in the OEM harness) and tapped those lines so my OEM harness is still completely intact.
Highly recommend that procedure - gives you more options and extra wire length to play with.
My older Whelen version is substantially deeper than newer version and it did require some "light plastic trimming" inside the mount area.

Since I now have the LED brake lights that blink then go solid and my Whelen blinks and goes solid, it's pretty bright back there.
Cheers,

They seem bright as
There is a guy in Deland who fits police cars and does motorcycles as a side business. He seems to have a few other options also but the reflector spot seems to be perfect and clean.

Super job!
Of course, video required, or it never happened.....lol

The newer ones have different flash patterns and are MUCH skinnier.
I'm guessing very minimal (if any) plastic modifications were required?

No modifications. Looks almost stock. Just enough sticking out to still allow the license plate bulb enough clearance to shine on plate.

Link to purchase? I've seen them with 3 LEDs, don't they have a 5 LED that will also fit? (was looking at some LEO bikes with blue 5 light LEDs)

I went to his shop about 60 miles away. I don't mess with wires or much else so I had him install them.
But they are available many places. Amazon, Ebay... These are Police grade so much better quality and much brighter than most Bike accessory stuff available as far as flashing brake lights go.

5 leds will be too wide to fit in that spot where the reflector is, but you can custom fit it anywhere you would like but personally these 3 leds are very bright and get a lot of attention.

BTW.. Don't even think about using blue lights or you will see more blue lights than the ones on your bike

I know.
