I fitted the Yamaha front and rear LED indicators to my gen 1. They can be bought seperatly if you only want rears. They act as running lights and the rears are wired in to increase in brightness with the brake light.

Venturi…..Are those for the third brake light? Or for the "regular" lights?
Upgraded the third brake light to LED on my pickup and wired the relay to that. It works great! But you can wire it into any LED lights you want.

flush mount single led from rigid , model (I will try and figure that out sometime today ) im fuzzy on it. as for mounting , very clean as wires exit the back of light so routed in side fender to the brake light hot wire under seat and connected using a positap connector. rigid has that light in 200 and 400 lummens , I have at times thought about a modulator for the tail light , but feel this does a good job on its on. so you see tail light and when brake is applied the brake light comes on as does the rigid but from a different part of the tail ,hopefully catching the eye of who is behind me.
What gauge is the wire you positapped? I’m going to order some for mine. Also, thanks for the info, I have a Rigid light otw for my bike.

I had a Bright Ass Light tail lamp on my Road King and my friends refused to ride behind me at night on back roads because it was too damn bright on anything but the DOT setting. So unless you ride without friends at night I would suggest either putting another car between you and the tailgater or pulling over and letting them by.

All cops are NOT created equal. (or trained equal) Headlight modulators are going to get you stopped almost every time....I'm not getting the problem with the brake light modulator though; technically, every time you apply the brakes, you are modulating the brake light. And, as a BTW....the only authorized lighting TO THE FRONT is white or amber. And, TO THE REAR is red or amber. No red to the front....blue or green, in any direction.
