CRF250L DRC Edge2 Integrated Tail Light Kit Review and Demonstration

Click the video above for a review and demonstration of the DRC Edge2 Integrated Tail Light Kit for the Honda CRF250L. We have this kit on one of our CRF250L's and really like it. These really clean up the back end of the bike making it look much better, while still being bright enough to keep you visible on the road.

These kits are very popular with customers looking for a tail light/turn signal setup that doesn't have turn signals sticking out that can get broken off when riding off-road. The kit is also very popular for the supermoto guys who just want a compact tail light look.

CRF250L DRC Edge2 Tail Light Kit Installation

Last week I finally had some time to install the new DRC Edge2 Tail Light kit on our CRF250L Project bike. This kit is specially made for the CRF250L and bolts directly to the sub-frame of the bike. The kit includes an LED tail light that comes on as a running light, then gets brighter when brakes are applied. License plate illumination is provided by 3 white LED's on the bottom of tail light. The kit allows you to re-use your stock OEM rear turn signals/flashers, which can be bolted directly to the bracket, or you can use aftermarket LED turn signals/flashers. We decided to pitch the big ugly stock turn signals, and install smaller/more compact DRC Type 602 LED's.

Installation:
The kit comes with instructions and is relatively straightforward to install. Initially we got the tail light and brake light to work, but could not get the DRC Type 602 LED Flashers to work. After a few days of working with Brooks from 12oClockLabs, we figured out the problem. Brook's theory is that the CRF250L's factory turn signal flasher module is not designed to work well with LED flashers, and having LED flashers both front and rear like we did causes issues. The fix? We installed a 12oClockLabs Fixed Rate Turn signal flasher module, and now our LED flashers work front and rear. As an added bonus, this module will also make the LED flashers flash at a slower rate like the stock flashers do.

This is how we wired the tail light and flashers (click photo to enlarge). The plug you see on the end is what we cut off the factory OEM tail light/turn signal assembly. We spliced the wires from that together with the DRC Edge 2 Tail Light and DRC Flasher wires as shown...

CRF250L Edge2 Tail Light Kits have arrived

We were surprised the other day when a shipment of the brand spanking new CRF250L Edge2 Tail Light Kits showed up. These new kits are very similar to the one DRC makes for the Yamaha WR250R... it consists of a tail light (red or smoke) and mounting bracket for the tail light, license plate, and flashers/turn signals. It will work with your stock flashers, or the DRC LED Flashers we sell, like the Type 601 or Type 602.

We will be installing one on our CRF250L Project Bike in the next few days, more than likely using the DRC Type 602 Flashers.
