A perfect way to get that custom look and feel on your bike is to swap out your stock tail light. In this guide, we will show you how to install the FZ09 LED Tail Light with easy step-by-step instructions.

We understand how frustrating and time consuming it can be to install a part that you aren’t particularly familiar with. Additionally, we know how overwhelming it can be when you have no idea where to start. The FZ09 LED Sequential Tail Light  is a complete kit that includes all the necessary hardware for the installation. However, there may be some additional cutting or grinding to ensure a perfect fit onto your bike. Similar to the DROWsports R6 LED Tail Light, these lights offer customization of the LED to your liking.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Remove the seat from the rear frame. 

2. Trim off the excess plastic until it is fully flushed as seen in Figure 1.1

3. Once the headlight is fully flushed, mount the FZ09 Tail Light on to the DROWsports FZ09 Tail Light Bracket using the two M6 Stainless Steel Bolts

4. Place the FZ09 Tail Light on the seat and center it.

5. Using the bracket as a template, mark the three holes on the seat (Figure 1.3)

6. Drill three 1/8″ pilot holes for the mounting screws (Figure 1.4). Please take your time and do this right to ensure that the holes are aligned and spaced out correctly. If they are not, it will be difficult to fix the error. 

7. Mount the tail light onto the seat using the three mounting screws (Figure 1.5)   

8. Once this is all finished, you can now mount the seat back onto the seat frame (Figure 1.7).

9. Install the Male Crimp-on Bullet Connectors on the tail light
