    Default Anyone install an LED brake/running/turn signal light on the trunk?

    I'm wanting to install an LED light were the reflector is below the trunk lock.

    Anyone done this?

    I found a few different styles I like the look of about 15-18" long.

    I have not determined the best way to wire it, I'm thinking just run the wires up under the seat to the rear lighting plug & tie in there.

    I'm open to suggestions/comments.

    I was thinking about your post, Do you want to do this to get rid of the lights on the fenders? I'm not a big fan on the license plate location. I want to mount it on the bumper. Your putting different ideas in my head about what I want to do.

    I use the LEDs from

    customdynamics.com

    my buddy sold his LED light company to them years ago and I have been following them and they seem to be holding the quality and products line to a high standards.

    Welcome. No, I do not want to remove the OEM tail lights. I have a thread about converting them to LED & I have already done that. I am talking about, at a minimum, adding a LED running/brake light on the back of the trunk in that wasted real estate there to brighten things up & the lights I have looked at have turn signal functions also, so that's an option.

    I had also looked at HD's LED strip that goes on the underside of the airwing luggage rack, but l thought the lights just look weak to me.

    I make also add a brake light modulator after all this is done.

    If you google the FW, I have seen Europe models that have a license plate bracket on the lower part of the trunk, that might be an option for you, but to me, they looked pretty bulky.

    I like the idea of having more lights. I also seen the air wing brake light , and thought the same thing, Lets wait and see the ideas out there

    Could you maybe post a pick of what you used & how you mounted/wired it please.

    I like Custom Dunamics & used their inserts in my front turn signal/running lights.

    Here are a a couple of pix of my leds.

    I use strips under my gas tank for the orange

    Strips under my floor boards for the purple.

    I shaped the peace sign with strips for the back of the bears head. The bear is my main passengers.

    I am showing the bear pix using a 9 volt batteries. hope to wire it this weekend

    The strips stick really good.

    Thanks for posting pics John.

    I'm just looking for a light assembly to put on the back of the trunk below the lock.

    No bears please. I would never be able to keep that with grandkids/Great grandkids.

    I deleted the rear fenders and lights from my Free and used a Radiantz ZFlex led array mounted to the recess on the top of the trunk.

We had an issue with getting all 3 functions (brake, running and turns) going, but I found out that Radiantz makes an add-on circuit pigtail that should solve the problem. The lights are super bright.

    Found the thread....

    https://www.ebay.com/i/111058118547?chn=ps&dispItem=1

    $33

    Surface mount Red LED 6.5" long... Would likely work on the Freewheeler trunk as a replacement for the stock reflector assembly.. A rubber gasket could be employed to account for the curved rear surface or perhaps some well cut rubber fender welting?

    Might work... much cheaper than the standard issue bagger vertical lights from places like Bad Dad etc.

    I have a few LED's in mind. The ones I found were in the 12" range.

    I was just curious what others had done, but apparently, not many had added a light in back.

    [QUOTE=MDO;568573]I have a few LED's in mind. The ones I found were in the 12" range.

    Yes there are a number of great options with nice bezels and mounting hardware. I am looking too, only my motivation is a little different. I am putting wide tires on my trike and was thinking of using a long multi-functional LED light on the body vs fender locations for the brake etc. lights. The issue I kept running into was the curvature of the body. The nice 18" assemblies would not conform to the curve.

    I will be interested in your final solution. Good luck.

    I may go with this, just for a running/brake light & then install a brake light modulator.

    That should get people's attention.
