Ok, here is some good infor for you. WHen purchasing a clear tailight (i got mine at clearalternatives.com) you must know that the bulbs are not replaceable so keep your stock tail light. They glue the holes shut on the back so you cant pull out the bulbs to replace them. There around 90's for the unit. YOu can also get them via streetracerparts.com.

well, there's a difference between the integrated tail lights, and the clear replacent cover.
thats funny because now when I go back to the clear alternatives site I see its 95 bucks or so. But I know mine is the LED variety. Theres not a touch of red to it and its got two big pcb circles of LED's on it. I had also ordered 2 pairs of the clear turn signal lenses. A quick check on the internet banking says it cost $99.37 total. I know the turn signal lenses were like 11 or 12 bucks a pair. so that puts the tail light at right around 65, allowing a couple bucks for shipping. Maybe I just got lucky? Also, mine was a complete tail light unit. I unbolted the old one and the clear one was a direct replacement.
edit:
Ok, I didn't get them off the clear alternative site. This is the page.

Luke, what you have is not the integrated taillight but the clear LED taillight.
They do sell the integrated LED taillight for the EX500 as well but it is mislabeled (well, actually it is labeled incompletely because it works for two different bikes according to Clear Alternatives - had to search on the part number to find it):

$102 shipped (unless you live in California, then there's tax).

do not use a load resistor to slow flashrate. they are way to dangerous. chk this out

mine does not integrate the turn signals into it, therefor there is no need for a flasher relay. its merely a direct replacement for the brake light. I bought clear turn signal lenses for the turn signals and I plan on keeping them. I'd like to get a fender eliminator kit but I ordered one from ninjacustoms.net and never got anything or heard anything for 3 weeks, so I reversed the charges. I guess I'll have to take my business elsewhere since I don't want to give my fender the hacksaw treatment.

led's all the way around? really, really fast. you can hardly notice it. if you've got the standard fronts and just do LEDs in the rear, it's quick, but noticeable. If you need to pass inspection you MAY OR MAY NOT pass.
a universal realy are what you should get.

You do not need to install a load resistor.phobos512 said:
Load resistors are a fire hazards, because they get VERY HOT.
It is like installing a Toaster to solve a simple flash problem

by itself a resistor can get hot. but many of the aftermarket resistors have heatsinks, and most people mount them to the steel frame.
besides, they don't get hot enough to burn a hole through the plastics.
