Has any body seen or heard off an all in one rear light unit ie. indicators/stop & tail/no plate light as a one piece unit, looking to fit a 240/250 rear end to my bike this winter and would like to keep everything as smooth a line as poss,
Thanks for any info.

Just spoke to one of me mates and he seems to think that some of the modern scooters have one piece units, I'll check that out tomorrow.

they are stop and tail units. but lenses are available in orange.
so you could wire up the indicators to the two outer brake lights.

Hi Dracken
Slightly off topic but maybe you can help as you seem to have a good selection of lights.
My V-Max trike currently has 2 combined tail/brake/indicator units that I want to replace with LEDs. These are "trailer" units - Britax (http://www.trailerpartswarehouse.co.uk/trailer_parts_information/MP36_252.html).
Do you know of something that looks similar but with LEDs that is E-marked? I might have asked you this before........my memory's going
:)

afraid not.
you were enquiring about 90deg led bulbs once ?
if you want something combined that you can fit standard led bulbs into.
i have found these tail lights. uses a standard 5 watt tail light but uses built in leds for brakes and has a reflector in the centre

or if you can find them maybe you could use the old 2002 bmw round tail light units.
cortina mk1 used a simalar setup.

from the question i asked i don't believe that you need "e" markings on them.
they are more concerned with the light output
