Hello. Can someone recommend good red LED taillight bulbs? Also, how difficult is to swap them as I know the access to the rear light is not the easiest..

I'm curious, any particular reason why you want / opt for red LEDs for the brake lights? Are the stock brake light bulb not clear bulbs?

[pichulec]

Simple answer Gert, power draw. Red led will be even more visible than stock too.

I would have thought that the clear bulb would be a brighter through the red lens cover.
I recall doing a mod to create a reflective surface on my 1st gen turn signals, with the info found on https://www.DL650.org/photos/pbsoluces/lokiki/clignos/index.html. I also tried a higher wattage tail / stop light combination to be more visibe to the tail-gating, while trying to  prevent any bulb heat damage from the stop light lens cover. The orange / red bulbs didn't seem to help back then.

Well, will see. Ordered 2x for a try. For the interested, It is P21/5W 1157 LED.

I keen to hear whether the red coloured LED would be the similar to the OEM or perhaps brighter.
