Hi everyone. I picked up a 2003 R1 tail light . I started to install it today and nothing was working I unplugged the tail light and then the signal lights started working. I plugged it back in and nothing. Anybody else run into that issue. If so how might I fix it. Thinking I might have gotten a pooched taillight. Hope not so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Well I had problems with mine. I switched the R1 cover for the stock cover and it worked and looked great. Then it went haywire on me....apparently I didn't seal the cover well enough and moisture got inside. I sealed it up thoroughly with rtv gasket silicone so I don't know why it did that. I tried taking it back apart and trying again, but the light is still not working quite right.

Decided against buying another R1 and going to buy the Kawasaki light instead. That way I won't have to take the light apart.

Thanks guys!
1 more question...

Bane - I see you got the version that has 8-12 red AND 8-12 amber per side. Do you find that the amber gets washed out buy the red? Or does the red shut off on a particular side when the amber activates?

The other version has 10 dual dye LEDs per side that emmit both red AND amber. I think this would be better.

Its hard to tell from the pics and videos they post which version is brighter.

It does not wash out it alternates when activated.

Thanks for the replies and the pics guys. Appreciate it!

Bane - Your reds are clearly off
SmokenJoe - Your reds are clearly still on, although the amber is still pretty visible

Depends on the manufacturer I guess.

OK last request :)
Can you guys remember the ebay seller you bought from?

Here's what I'm looking at:

Regular:

Dual Dye Version:

Got mine from these folks. Got the wrong item first time and had a dispute but it got straitened out.
