Default Rear fender tail light?

My tali light has quit working. I thought LEDS were supposed to last for ever?
Has anyone tried the tail/brake frnder light? Are they brite? I know $95.00 is not cheap

if you include some information about the type of led taillight you're using on which model of bike, it'd be much easier than us guessing what you're dealing with. did you look under the fender to see if any wires were frayed or rubbed by the tire? check with a test light or volt/ohm meter to see if you have power at the socket. that would be the most logical place to start. good luck.

My dealer replaced my fender light to the run/brake light free because the guy chipped the chrome trying to remove the lense. There was water seeping in. Anyway, I like it a lot. It's not as bright in the "run" mode and when you apply brakes it realy lights up. Very satisfied with it. The only thing is I should've gone with the smoked one instead of the red.

The LEDs themselves have very long life. Wiring and mounting components, not so much.

I know it's a bit of coin, but I can't say enough about having a Bright *** Light behind mine.

I have the Brake/Run Fender tip light and it works great in conjuction with the LED tail light and LED turns.The original fender light in some cases seems to have a problem with water ingress.But the HD run/brake one is holding up well,and it has seen its share of wet weather riding.
