I was considering a new rear lamp as the old FZ6 version is a bit dated (especially when following newer bikes).
Looking, there are some good replacement items that are certified for the road (quite expensive for what they are), at the same time there's a few cheapies out there that lack brake light functionality etc and probably will be dull in comparison to the stock bulb.
I fancy doing something different - without having taken the unit off, I gather there's two 'live's' (for the brake and main lights) with one ground. I'm thinking about drilling the reflector and fitting my own red LED's in addition to the current bulbs - two sets for each light source. Possibly a cluster around the centre of the reflector with a larger cluster around the outside of the reflector for the brake lights (higher intensity LED's) - wire these in parallel with resistors & a couple of diodes and surely that would be it?
Am I missing anything.
PS. If this hasn't been done then I'll be happy to do a write up with pics on my progress (might look amazing or equally garbage)
