What looks like an inneffective red reflector between the two red taillights on the Burgman 400 seems to have been designed to be a light. We took Ann's apart and it has castings for a light receptacle. We pried the lens loose (it's glued in pretty well), and drilled a hole in the back. Then we stuck an LED unit into it and ran the wire out the hole. It was easy to splice it into the license plate wires - and now her Burgman's tail lights up all the way across. If you use the LED pods - then there should be room for 2 - so you could do a driving light and a brake light. We used a 10 LED strip which meant we had to trim the box out to fit it - but we siliconed everything up to reseal it (I've never had an LED burn out, and they use very little electricity).
FYI: We used red LED's, and it made us realize that the tailights on the Burgman were more of an amber. It looks okay having the bright red between the amber lights - but it would probably match better if you used a yellow LED...
