I have installed a tour pack onto my R3T for those long road trips and now I would like to install an LED brake light on the pack. Will the LED brake light and OEM brake light work together?
I'd like to know too. I know there is stuff you have to swap out if you want to change the turn signals to LEDs but am not sure if it makes a difference adding to the brake light load.
It'll work fine. Only diff will be how slow the brake light will look going on and off next to the crisp immediate LED on or off of the LEDs
You can get a LED brake light 'bulb' for the OEM socket will solve that 'issue'
LED bulbs in factory filament indicator circuits do require other mods ie led flasher relay to avoid fast flash due to load requirements. Not required for brake, tail, drl or headlights
The only thing that's load sensitive are the indicators. Normal relays start blinking faster if they lose one lamp (as a warning, basically), but if the load goes too low (as it does with LED) they just stay on solid or something else dysfunctional. So you need to replace the relay or add load via resistors (on the R3T, with the self-canceling signals, you can only go with load equalizers/resistors, can't replace the relay.)
A lot of money for a brake light modulator, but it's the best modulator I've ever seen. Even has some "intelligence", ie it doesn't incessantly flash the people behind you in stop-go traffic, it only flashes fully when it's been a while since you braked.

Well luckily the OP was just asking about brake lights.
I only mentioned a difference between LED'ing brake lights and LED'ing indicators because Norm mentioned it. Wasn't being Rocket-specific
