Jim,
I put a 60 diode truck led taillight on my gy5

Can you give me another pic without the light on so I can see how you modified it? I like it a lot.

It wasn't super pretty, just super bright...

I just welded the typical bracket to the rack, the light, bracket, and gromet are all just from a truck shop.

Hey, Brother, at least it's not "super-ugly" LOL A proffesional looking fittment.

Those trailer lamps bring back memories :roll:

BTW, your garage looks big enough to service a semi :wink:

Thanks,

Well it isn't my garage, but you are correct it is big enough to service a semi

That is it's typical function, but I get to work on the lifan there...

with that light... you didnt need any kind of resistor??

Jim · 09-25-2008, 09:40 PM

No.... I would think that would only be necessary for signal lights with a flasher (so they don't blink too fast)... For the tail light it was simply a matter of hooking the correct wires together

The light itself has resistors built into it though...
