Yes, the MCS LED Taillight String is ECE-approved, which means it meets European road-legal lighting standards for brightness, visibility, and light distribution. This certification ensures compliance with traffic regulations in most European countries and similar jurisdictions.
Installation is straightforward: (1) Clean the mounting surface thoroughly with a degreaser to remove dirt, oil, and residue. (2) Dry completely. (3) Remove the self-adhesive backing and carefully position the LED strip on your tail section or fender. (4) Press firmly to ensure good contact. (5) Connect the positive and negative wires to your motorcycle's 12V power supply, typically through a relay wired to your brake light circuit.
The MCS LED string automatically adjusts its brightness based on your motorcycle's electrical signals. When your tail light is on (running lights), the LEDs operate at a lower brightness level. When you engage the brakes, the brake light signal triggers the LEDs to brighten significantly, alerting vehicles behind you of your braking action. This dual-function design eliminates the need for separate fixtures.
The MCS LED Taillight String operates on a standard 12V motorcycle electrical system. This is the universal voltage for most motorcycles, including classic BMWs, cafe racers, and custom builds. Ensure your motorcycle's charging system is functioning properly to maintain consistent LED performance.
No, the MCS LED Taillight String does not include license plate illumination. If you need to light your license plate (which is a legal requirement in most jurisdictions), you will need to install a separate license plate light. Dapper Motor offers various compact LED license plate lights that complement this taillight string.
The smoke lens is a tinted, semi-transparent lens that gives the taillight a subtle, stylish appearance while still maintaining excellent light output and visibility. It filters the red light from the LEDs, creating a sophisticated smoked effect. ECE certification ensures that despite the tinting, the light remains bright enough to meet all road-legal visibility requirements, making it both attractive and functionally safe.
