    Ive got an early 70s Honda cl Im working on and found a smaller sleeker brake light today than the stock one, but I would still like it to be bright enough. Whats my best bet for changing out the bulbs to make this extra bright?LEDs? Or no... Its probably less than half the size of the orig square Honda light.

    If you can run a standard 1157 in it, it will be just as bright, just not as big. I'm not so sure the LED's a brighter, but they do draw a whole lot less current.

    Is the bike 6V or 12V?

    Do you mind sharing with me what you found and where you found it? I'm looking for something for my old CL...actually, both of them.

    Thanks,
