Lighting Questions

I have two lighting questions:

1. Are there any acceptable supplemental lighting options for the T100 equivalent to motolights that cost less? If so where?

2. I understand that the stock bulb in the T100 taillight is a 21/5. Is there an aftermarket bulb that is brighter and if so where can I find one?

Thanks in advance.

I can answer #2. PIAA sells tail light bulbs in pairs that are 27/8 w. I've put them in both my Trumpets. Nice improvement.

1. TrailTech MR11 13W HID. Not everyone's cup of tea, but it's freak'n BRIGHT. I love it.

2. Kisan TailBlazer 20W-D is a great option. Again, I love it.

Stine has done a great mod to get more light:


This is one that I will definitely do on mine.
