I bought the Edge fender eliminator kit for my bike but was alittle dissappointed by the dim edge led tail light. So I set off to upgrade mine to a higher intensity led light. People take notice when I hit the brake now!

What it looked like before...





I bought this light off Ebay to gut and use to house my high intensity leds...It was also brighter than the Edge light, maybe because its not smoked?



Donor lighthead guts



The led lighthead I need to trim down to fit into the above housing.



The trimming begins...



Still trimming and shaping...



Trimming the base of the donor lighthead...



Glued the new led lighthead to the new housing base...



New lighthead installed into the new housing and put in the stove @ like 100 to 125 degrees to help the silicone cure faster.



Bracket I made to accomodate the wider bolt pattern of the new lighthead...



Led power supplies for tail/brake functions.



The finished product...





Still need to get that pic of it lit up...

 

nice, could you list all of your parts suppliers and part numbers as well?

 

That was pretty cool, Thx for The Info.

 

Sorry, The donor lighthead I bought off Ebay has nothing on it and the led and power supplies I put in it are discontinued. I have been trying to find more because this one was meant for my truck, (used to be in my trucks third brake light) I was going to build two more for the tail lights.

I know I'm no help, I've trying to find more for the last year with no luck, I even called the manufacturer with no dice.

Sorry.

 

Well done, Slip!!! Nice pics and step-by-step. Even if we don't have the exact parts listing, it helps to see the "process." Thanks!

 

Nice work, the SF model is sharp with the "partial" Edge system.

 

Ordering the Edge taillght for my SF next week!

 

Nice job!

 

Great writeup and well done man. Its nice to see something in the DIY section

 

Thanks guys! I only wish I could help more by simply giving model numbers but the led lighthead has been discontinued and the housing I put it in was one that looked good I found on Ebay. Also took alot of experimenting with the right resistors and relays to make it all work. If it helps the led and power supply is from a Whelen Talon also off of ebay, I used red but if you have a clear (single Talon) one with a red tail light lens it would work. If anyone wants to build one let me know I may be able to help you find the parts.
