TailBlazer Deceleration Warning Lights
 
Check here before ordering for the latest application chart to ensure proper fit for all Kisan parts (signalMinders®, tailBlazers®, pathBlazers®).

TailBlazer bulbs produce 230 Lumens of light output with average life span of 2000 hours compared to OEM bulbs with 180 Lumen and a life span 800 hours.

You're waiting at a red light. Your eyes grow wider as, in your mirrors, you see a car coming up fast behind you. Does he see you? Will he stop in time? Motorcycles, with their relatively small tail lights, are too often invisible to typical junk-food-munching, cell-phone-talking cage drivers. Did you know that the Motorcycle Safety Foundation suggests pumping your brakes at each stop so that your flashing brake light will get drivers' attention? Well, the TailBlazer does it for you automatically!

TailBlazer is a "smart bulb", a bright halogen lamp with special circuitry built-in to the base. It rapidly flashes the brake light the instant you apply the brakes. The flash rate then slows down to a steady ON - in a cycle that lasts about 4 seconds. This flash pattern is called a Deceleration Warning and it really helps wake up inattentive car drivers. The TailBlazer is a plug-in replacement system: no wiring, no splicing, no need to remove all your body work: simply replace your stock trail/brake lamp with the TailBlazer "bulb", and you're ready to go. Uses the same wattage as stock. Bonus: a spare halogen lamp is included!
