Any suggestions? :-/

I wouldn't mind going for a Bansheesque dual light setup, but I need a tail AND brake light. I have the original tail light but I never hooked it up, so I'm just assuming it's just a tail light and not a brake light. When I go out with the buds and go down to Wayne, I can never go night ride with them and even with the stock lights, I probably wouldn't, because brake lights play critical importance when we are going through trails at speed. Did the newer body style blasters have a brake light? I'm all ears on suggestions. I:I
 
just throwin out the few options i have used/considered

i don't think the 03+ blasters had brake lights ???
but i just got a yfz front brake lever/reservoir and it has a brake light switch built in, i'm gonna wire that thru a micro switch banjo bolt
(available on ebay) on the rear master cylinder, and hook it into my "led" taillights
so both brakes will operate it
which i now have in a bracket since i eliminated my airbox for the cfm one now,
i have also seen gsxr rear tail/brake lights on ebay that look pretty cool.....
smoked lens and led's for tail and brake lights for around $30

heres a pic of my old led setup, amazingly bright at night.................

Hmmm I might have to do that hydraulic brake upgrade afterall. Interesting setups and ideas. I'll admit I don't have the first clue about most of the electrical and lighting stuff on the blaster or other quads.
 
lighting circuts are easy on the blaster, just follow the diagram in the downloadable manual
and i have also played around with the gsxr brake switches, which i have a few of laying around, trying to adapt them to a stock pedal, but they are a pull type, and need to be mounted above the pedal, which interfered with the kicker, so i scrapped that idea after about a 1/2 hour of looking
