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?

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.

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