Clear and bright

I have wanted a clear brake light on the VFR for a little while. When I decided to crack the original lens whilst placing her on the centre stand (NSR got in the way) I opted to spend a tenner more and bought the clear LED unit to replace it. Fitting is fairly straight forward. Just remove the tail unit, disconnecting the wires to the tail light and then unscrew the two bottom screws and inside pair pictured on the right. The LED brake light unit  I opted for uses connectors that replicate the bulbs you would have normally fitted . The bulb holders you already own however wont fir and you have to use the cut down versions that come supplied with the brake light unit.  Once connected it is the reverse process to fit the new brake light unit and pop everything back together. The indicators have resistors prebuilt in so there is no effect to the indicator flash speed. The new unit looks a lot nicer and when the front indicators get changed it should help slicken up
