Default Got my BrightAssLight tail light today

Just picked it up today from the local dealer. Talked to Parts Manager into becoming a dealer for them and in turn he gave me a nice discount on the light. This is the BAL-3ST smoke laydown with tag light. This is one quality piece. Excellent workmanship. And the thing is amazingly bright. Tons brighter than my Street magic LED tail. Lots of different flash settings that are adjusted by touching an included magnet to a specific area on the light. Also three run intensity settings. If they can't see me they are legally blind. And if they look straight into it they will be.

BrightAssLights




Inside completely sealed using a clear epoxy



I opted to buy the security screws for a few bucks more


Installed









EDIT: Added lighted images. Did the best I can to capture it. And yes I know I have a few LED's out in my right signal. Waiting for a warranty replacement.


In run mode


In brake mode

All you do is remove your stock light and unplug the bulb harness from the tail light assembly. And then plug this one right in. Simple 5 minute job.

How do you know it will work if you don't take your scoot out of the garage?

FIVE minutes?!? Did you have a beer at the halfway point?

Seriously though - Best $200 (mine was only $200 just a few months ago... Did they go up?) I ever bolted on.

with that light you can also operate it like a regular taillight without any of the extra functions, right? you can use it as your running light with brake function, and without all the blinking, etc? full face for the tallight and full face for the brake i guess was my question...... best price on that light is where?

For $250 bucks, I would need some kind of sexual commitment.
