Hey man just installed my integrated tail light and it looks great. You did an excellent job with the step by step instructions and pics.

Yep! I have since switched the Proton Signals front and back and disconnected the signal brake function.so I installed my LED tail light today, thanks for all the info on this thread on removing the tail assembly, made quick work. The unit was plug and play, at least for the brakes... I have a fender eliminator with LED turn signals coming next week
I see that CrazyBiker was able to have the tail lamp T/S and separate turn signals,

how'd you wire those in? just cut, solder and seal?
thanks

Could you post the pictures again?I wanted to show you all a quick video about how easily this connects first. ....well.... at least the wiring of the brake light. The turn signals will require some cutting and soldering. For now you can see what a great job they did on the plug and play brake light.

Installation:
The rear lens is housed in the tail section. The following shows the bolts (circled in red) from the top view that need to be removed in order to remove the tail section of the bike.
This shows the under side of the tail. You need to remove each grommet (6 total) by pressing in the center. You do not need to remove the two grommets under the battery area. Just the 6 that connect it to the tail section. Once pressed in you can easily remove the entire grommet. There is no need to remove the under tail panel, just the grommets that connect it to the upper tail section.
Don't forget to disconnect the rear brake light. It is the only thing holding everything together at this point. Just twist counter clockwise and pull out.
Here is a shot with the entire tail section removed. It is dirty and I am taking the oportunity to clean up a bit. :thumb:
And the tail section on the ground. This is where the OE lens is that we need to remove to install the new integrated kit.
The bolts circled in the two photos below need to be removed in order to get the rear brake lens out. The second photo is just a slightly different angle showing the bolts that hold the rear lens cover in place. The three at the rear are the only ones holding in the lens. The two on the side keep the trim piece in place that goes over the lens.
The molding that covers the lens can now be removed. It simply rocks back and off.
Install the new lens and replace the bolts that you removed in the previous step. We now have the new lens installed in the tails section.
