Ya ever get bogged down doing a search on here and get an information overload?

I'm wanting to get rid of the big ol brake light and just run with some red lenses on the rear that will do all 3 opereations. Run, turn, stop.

I'm just not sure if I need the Kisan or the Kury?

Also where's a good place to get red lenses that will fit? I saw a mention of Land Rover lenses working and alSo a lik=nk to some ebayer in the UK.

Include the words "Dual Element" + tail light and Google will provide a plethora of brand names and variations of "Run, Turn and Stop, you can use. From crap to Cadillac quality as well. Caveat Emptor

I've had both and I really like the Kuryakyn piece. The Kisangani slowed down the turn signal speed.

Matt, I'll look for the link for the red lenses, I got a set and they fit perfectly. If you get a running light kit like a Signalminder, you'll need 'em , cause you'll have amber tail lights.

What this about using trailer wiring? I thought both those units were kinda plug-n-play, maybe a little soldering?

But speaking of trailers, I did see something about using a trailer controller instead of the Kury, you know anything about this?

The adapter simply combines tail/brake/turn functions in one light.

And that Steve, is exactly what I would like to do. But I understand I will need dual filament bases and bulbs.
Has anyone here tried this?

Well looks like I'll be the guinea pig on this experiment.
