  1. Long story short, I've got a 2003 and wanted to switch over my turn signals to the 2006+ clear lights but was skeptical of the LED ones for sale, didn't want to fork over the $300+ for the OEM lens, and was having no luck finding used ones on fleabay. Amazon will get you the front clear ones for around $30. Here: https://www.amazon.com/JFG-RACING-Signals-Indicator-2002-2010/dp/B074QM59FD/ref=sr_1_15?crid=GGB7T8NA5CEO&dchild=1&keywords=jfg+racing+turn+signals+vfr800&qid=1591746303&s=automotive&sprefix=jfg%2Cautomotive%2C209&sr=1-15 There is a rear aftermarket one, however it doesn't show up in the USA. I did find it on WeMoto. They are based in the UK and apparently the Revzilla of the EU as far as I can tell. Still used Paypal because you never know. Here it is: https://www.wemoto.com/bikes/honda/vfr_800_a6_abs_model/06/picture/taillight_-_complete $142 shipped to my door in under 2 weeks (in the middle of a pandemic no less). Is it OEM? No. Is it good enough? Absolutely! I also upgraded my rear running/brakelights with some super bight and obnoxious projector LED's that flash for 3 seconds. I would recommend the "strobe" model if you're worried about the cops getting mad. Bulbs are 7443 (Red) for the Tail/Brake lights and 7443 (Amber) for the turnsignals. You could also use a 7440 for the Amber. Same bulb, the 7443 has the option of being running or "switchback" type which the rear doesn't do because there are only 2 wires. That being said, now comes the part that is less than fun: In the 2006+ stuff honda decided to change the turn signal socket. Both the socket and harness connections are different. Why? No idea. The tail lights still use the same connection. On the fronts, its not that big of a deal, you just swap the new clear lens over the the OEM base and you're done. The rear requires changing the sockets. Luckily, the sockets are shared across a wide range of Honda products...the Civic, CRV, Accord, and Odyssey all use this socket...so you can snag them from the local Honda (car) dealership for around $13 each. The issue is what goes from your wiring harness to the socket has also changed. And THAT plug (the male end) is not for sale separately. So we're off to our local pick-n-pull to hack up some wiring harnesses! Likely you'll be charged somewhere on the order of $1 to $5 for each electrical connection if you don't bring the whole harness with you. The 2006+ socket part number is: 33303-SAA-003 Look up a Honda parts guide to get additional fitment: https://www.hondapartsguys.com/oem-parts/honda-socket-t20-s-amber-33303saa003 If people need pictures I'll post them. Have Fun!
