The MCS Bates style LED taillight is designed for custom motorcycle applications. We recommend verifying local regulations in your region, as certification standards vary. Note that this unit does not include license plate illumination, which may be required by law in your area.
This taillight operates on 12V systems, which is standard for most modern custom motorcycles. If your motorcycle runs on a 6V electrical system, you will need a voltage converter or this unit will not function properly.
No, this Bates style taillight does not include license plate illumination. In most regions, separate license plate lighting is legally required. You will need to install an additional license plate light to comply with traffic regulations.
The smoke lens has a tinted, darkened appearance that creates a more vintage and sophisticated aesthetic. While it reduces light output slightly compared to a clear lens, it provides the authentic classic motorcycle look that complements cafe racer and retro custom builds perfectly.
Installation difficulty depends on your specific motorcycle model and frame design. Most standard installations require basic hand tools and electrical knowledge. We recommend consulting your motorcycle's wiring diagram and possibly seeking professional help if you are unfamiliar with electrical work.
The MCS Bates style is a universal design that works well with many classic motorcycle projects, including BMW K-series and vintage builds. However, fitment depends on your specific frame and mounting points. We recommend checking the dimensions and confirming compatibility with your custom frame setup before ordering.
LED technology offers significantly longer lifespan compared to traditional incandescent bulbs, typically lasting 50,000+ hours. Depending on the design, some LED units have replaceable elements while others are sealed units. Contact us for specific information about replaceable components on this model.
