• Is the MCS Texas taillight road legal in Europe?

  Yes, the Texas taillight is ECE approved, which means it meets the European standards for road-legal motorcycle lighting. You can use it safely and legally on public roads throughout Europe.

• What bulb does the Texas taillight use and can I replace it?

  The taillight comes with a 21/5W incandescent bulb (dual-function for brake and tail light). Yes, you can replace it with another standard 21/5W bulb if needed. The bulb is easily accessible from the rear of the housing.

• What voltage does this taillight require?

  The MCS Texas taillight operates on 12V, which is the standard voltage for most modern motorcycles. Make sure your motorcycle has a 12V electrical system for proper operation.

• How do I install the Texas taillight on my bike?

  The taillight comes complete with a swivel-type mount bracket and pre-assembled wiring harness. Simply position the bracket on your bike frame, secure it with bolts, connect the wiring to your motorcycle's electrical system (positive, negative, and brake signal), and you're done. The swivel mount allows for easy angle adjustment.

• Will this taillight fit my cafe racer or custom build?

  With a 45mm lens diameter and compact body dimensions (55mm diameter x 85mm depth), the Texas taillight is well-suited for minimalist custom builds and cafe racers where space is limited. Its classic styling fits perfectly with vintage and retro-inspired motorcycles. Verify fitment with your specific frame before purchasing.

• What does the 21/5W bulb rating mean?

  The 21/5W rating refers to a dual-filament bulb: 21W is the power when the headlight is on (tail light function), and 5W is the power when the brakes are applied (brake light function). This allows one bulb to serve both purposes with different brightness levels.

• Is wiring included with the taillight?

  Yes, the Texas taillight comes complete with a wiring harness. However, you will need to connect it to your motorcycle's electrical system. We recommend consulting a professional mechanic if you're unfamiliar with motorcycle electrical work.

• Can I use an LED bulb in this taillight instead of the incandescent bulb?

  While some riders use LED bulbs in incandescent fixtures, this is not officially recommended. LED bulbs may not distribute light properly through the lens design, and some may draw too little power, potentially triggering warning lights on modern bikes. Stick with the recommended 21/5W incandescent bulb for best results.
