Arlen NessSpeeeding Bullet Light

These lights look great when compared to stock rear turn signals. They come with both red and amber lenses to suite your needs. These signals have a much smaller profile than stock and when mounted are much closer to the bike preventing them from hitting obstacles when maneuvering the bike which I always found was a problem with the stock rear turn signals on the Shadow Spirit 750 DC. These bullet signals are very affordably priced which is a good price for the solid construction and beautiful chrome. The internals of these signals use two separate flashlight sized bulbs inside of this small signal housing because an 1157 sized bulb doesn't appear to be able to fit. The brake light is a high power 23 watt mini bulb while the running light is a lower powered bulb. These lights are great for run/turns along side of another brake light. I don't recommend them for use as run/turn/brake lights on account that they are a little bit to dim during the day time for my taste when compared to the stock rear signal turn and brake light brightness. I ultimately ended up replacing the internal incandescent light bulb internals with a red 1" Radiantz LED cluster with bare wire outputs*, this worked out well for me until I changed my lights again.


*Note that These lights are now available in Chrome or Black and they have LED versions which are sure to be brighter than the original dual light bulb lenses I used, Arlen Ness Speeding Bullet LED options.
