[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 640170, member: 3828"] Thanks very much for the pictures. To me, it appears that the quantity of light from your LEDs is a bit better than mine when the brakes are not on, but not by much. That is really the deal breaker with mine. It still appears to me that the incandescent bulb is putting out a greater amount of light, even in your pics too. The lamps that you installed in the tail lamp of the FJR do look very similar to the ones that I have. Here's mine: [IMG]https://inlinethumb62.webshots.com/34429/2291696380098858932S500x500Q85.jpg[/IMG] As you can see, mine have two rings of LEDS around the rear circumference, the idea being the scattered light will reflect off the lamp assembly's reflector and mimic an incandescent bulb. Yours appears to has one ring of LEDs. Otherwise they appear very similar. I noticed that with my LED bulb that not all the indirect "ring" LEDs and none of the direct rear view LEDs were contributing in running light mode (brakes off) . But they then all illuminate when the brakes are pressed. This is why there is not enough light output as running lights. But even if there was, I still think the light would be inadequate in brake light mode when they are all on. At this point I am thinking of cutting my losses and going to right to the auxiliary LED brake light mounted separately. [/QUOTE]
