Kinda ghetto.. and why would you sacrific your turn signals like that? I dont know about you, but I'd feel safer if people could actually see when I wanted to change lanes.. and legally the turn signals have to be 12" apart.

The best looking tail-lights were for the 97/98 F3s. to you for a DIY job.

The turn signals are supposed to be 12? I thought it was 6...? Regardless, if you take a look at the rear tail of a VFR800 (the Vtec one), you'll notice the turn signals aren't legally spaced apart.

I would be most worried about people following, and not knowing if you were signaling or braking.

Chalk up another win for zipties. lol.

It'd be safer if you could pull off orange accents on the corners where the signal bulbs are. I dont think painting it will do it.

what i did with mine was use modify the housing to accept 3 filament bulbs which is easier than what was posted. I had to do that since the previous owner didnt think turn signals were necessary and thus the bike didnt have any so i had to find ways to put some on. I could not put stock ones on since the bike has a race tail and i didnt feel like drilling into it. Havent had a problem with it.
