Cheap ebay led rear light

[The White Rabbit]

I thought there was a thread about this but cant get right search terms maybe.

Anyone tried this cheap LED tail light?

On his feedback looks like he has sold a few of the R1200GS ones and nothing too alarming. Wondered if any good, and if they mess with the bulb failure indicator as they dont seem to be 12 specific. If they look and work ok I could live with being told the bulb has gone as they are cheap.

As an aside my TT one only lasted:
1. 1 trip before the lens fell off and was lost
2. With a new lens glued on by me a further 2 years before the white leds failed

So I dont want to throw away another £60-80, if this is no good leaving the stock one on, which looks and is shit.

I got one of these they are poor quality,i had to get new bolts made before i could even fit it to the bike and they cause the "lampr" to light on your clocks,best avoided, in the end i put a wunderlich one on my bike straight fit and no error message. Hope this helps regards John

Ah. Thanks both, will avoid the 'bargain' one then and look into the other suggestions. I bought a trailer off of Techno so should get in touch about the lights, only down the road.
