LED Burners

I picked up a pack of these from Victoria for about $133 delivered.

No joke, I got them in 24 hours.

Ecliptech make three different versions of their brakelight kits for the Honda CBR250RR/CBR400RR, but I went for the "burner" look so they are extra bright.


Fitting them was a bit of a pain in the ass. It's not a matter of pulling the tail off and whacking them in. You need to drill through the lenses. And considering its a 1992 vintage, the plastics tend to be fairly brittle. Robin did a very good job at getting the backing plate onto the lens with only the tiniest of cracks. I think he would have spent an easy 40 minutes drilling at about 10rpm to make sure the lens didn't crumble.

Here's the before photo (tail light only), you can barely tell they are even on
