Well, folks, I want to thank you all for your votes! It was really interesting to see what you all thought about the subject, and it was a little bit of an eye opener for me! I can always count on my fellow "brothers" to show interest in such a modification, and as I've said before....a thread like this would never be as well received on my local forum. I can already hear the comments..."New tail lights won't get you home from the trail" or "Those pretty lights will only get smashed if you take it in the bush"! Kinda makes you think sometimes......
Anyway, I've decided to go with Option number 1. When not depressing the brakes, they look exactly the same as Option 2, but have the reliability of a traditional bulb. (in seven years....I've never had to change a tail light bulb!)
That being said, looks like I've made a deal with 01KY4R (aka Greg), for his 01's for $75.00 for a pair!
He's forwarded me these photos of the tail lights, and eventhough they are not perfect....they are definately going to be an improvement!
Now I just need to wait til he orders his LED's, and sends the Paypal Request....then I'm gonna be rockin some new (to me) tail lights! :guitar3:
