Yes, the MCS Old School LED Taillight Type 5 is ECE approved, meeting European road safety standards. This certification ensures the taillight provides proper visibility and is fully compliant with traffic regulations, making it street legal for use on public roads.
LED technology offers several advantages: longer lifespan (significantly more hours than halogen or incandescent), lower power consumption reducing strain on your motorcycle's electrical system, consistent brightness in all weather conditions, faster response time for braking signals, and improved durability against vibration and impact.
The taillight body measures 30mm in diameter and 45mm in length. The license plate bracket is 177mm wide and 28mm high. These compact dimensions make it suitable for most custom, cafe racer, and classic motorcycle builds. However, fitment depends on your specific motorcycle model and current mounting setup. We recommend checking your bike's specifications or consulting with a mechanic for compatibility.
Yes, the MCS Type 5 includes an integrated license plate light built into the unit. This eliminates the need for a separate license plate lamp and maintains the clean, minimalist aesthetic typical of cafe racer and retro custom builds while keeping your license plate illuminated and road legal.
This taillight is designed for 12V electrical systems, which is the standard voltage for most modern motorcycles and classic bikes. If your motorcycle has a 6V system (common on older classics), this light would not be directly compatible without a voltage converter. Check your motorcycle's electrical specifications before installation.
Installation difficulty depends on your motorcycle's existing setup. Generally, you'll need basic tools like wrenches, screwdrivers, and possibly wire strippers and electrical connectors. The taillight mounts via the bracket, and wiring connects to your motorcycle's electrical system. We recommend professional installation if you're unfamiliar with motorcycle electrical work, as improper installation can affect safety and legality.
Yes, the red lens is specifically designed to filter LED light and meets ECE certification standards. The red lens ensures that the brake light output is the correct color and intensity as required by law, making it compliant with European traffic regulations and safe for all lighting conditions.
LED technology typically lasts 25,000 to 50,000+ hours of operation, far exceeding the lifespan of halogen (1,000-2,000 hours) or incandescent (500-1,000 hours) bulbs. This means fewer replacements, lower long-term maintenance costs, and more reliable lighting throughout your motorcycle's operational life.
