How is the taillight installed on the back of the bike? Thanks!

A bracket is attached to the seat pole. It is very easy to install. It is tight and the light never moves. Works great.

It clamps to the seat post the same way the head light clamps to the handlebar.

My Hotshot 2W USB taillight shipped with a seat stay mounting bracket. (The part of the frame between the seat and the rear wheel.) Many of us mount the light midway down on the seat stay for visibility because when the taillight is mounted on the seat post it is blocked by a seat bag.

all the answers are correct. i a can also say i just attach it to my laptop bag as i ahve a kiddy chair on the back and the regular placement will not work for me.

Very easy to install and great. Ir your Seat bar is low and you use a tool bag than the mount touches the bag...

There's a clamp that allows you to mount to the seat post which works well. This also allows you to adjust the angle on the light. The light also has a clip on it so that if you have one of those seat bags, you can just clip it to the bag.

light comes with bracket to go on rear right side of body, you will see to holes to mount it to.

none, you take off the tail-light and pop the stock parts off and then push the new one in... took about 10 minutes with a phillips screw driver only

How how does the outside of the pipe get? cause the bag would resting against it. You have two straps that will attach to the bike for the front of the bag, and the rear connects together hugging the underside of the taillight or fender. I believe coretech has a video showing how the bags attach.

Yes! I had the same concern, but it comes with a mount for the Forward light and for the back flashing light. They're both pretty easy to attach to the bike. Additionally, both lights are easy to attach and detach from the mounts. Which makes charging them super easy.

I use a light similiar to this one- Serfas Seat Stay Taillight. The rubber bands easily go around the rear frame of the bike rack.

Of course a photo would be best - but the "rubber band" wraps around the handle bar and clips to the light. The two rubber bands are for different size bars. Hope that helps!

Yes it is but it has a major problem. I won't stay in place. If you have mountain bike and you go through a lot of bumps then the light will go downwards that's why I'm looking for a new light right now. It's really cool but I would suggest you get another one.

I will try to clarify this. The center/ main headlight on the bike is a glass/ plastic bowl with a big hole in the back. The bulb clips into that bowl, and is plugged into the electrical system. This is different, like the headlights of the OLD cars. It is a glass bowl with the lighting filament inside and part of the glass, thus it is a bulb. However it gets connected to the wires like a home light switch, not plugged in by a connector. It is sealed, kind of like a spot light that screws into a light fixture in a house. You have a filament inside the bulb, and it is one sealed assembly. There is no chrome ring or lamp holder, just the bulb. Hope that helps!

Great question. The light I use is blocked by this back, so I attach the light on the side of the bar near the shifters on the mountain bike bar, this is awkward but works. There is some sort of attachment that goes on the top of the bag but I cannot use it for the light. The light is actually strapped on part of the grip. It's a very good bag though this is a major issue.

easy installation. no drilling. you will need to take off the tail light and reach in a small space to get the old one out but not modifications to the metal were necessary.

I drive a Yamaha vstar, and I removed the side reflectors on the back, made the holes larger and mounted them there. Then put some red reflective tape on that I cut to fit on another area on the bike. These work as tail lights OR brake lights, BUT NOT BOTH. Just so you are aware.

The pigtail from the light bulb will twist into the cover like a normal headlight and then the cover clips onto the bumper. The lens is fixed in the cover. Very easy to install and they look very nice

No, It's clear and shines bright on both sides of the bike. I'm very happy with the two I bought 1 for the front and 1 for the back.. I usually ride into work 3 days a week for OT at 2:30 a.m. But now It's still dark at 6:30a.m. and is getting used at that time also. Have had no problems.

Honestly, if you google how to replace back light for the tc, there should be a YouTube video or instructions. That's what I did when I replaced my light.

I received a pair of tail lights. Have had zero problems, have had them installed for about 6 months. Install was very easy, the reflectors inside the housings make them brighter than stock.

I didn't for the head light. It plugged into the OEM harness. The ring was splice wired to a hot wire that turns on with ignition. Had to mod ring a little because they have wire coming out of bottom. I wanted it through back of headlight housin with rest of wires. Total install was 45 min with mod. A lot of compliments and it as bright as the HD one.
