    Default New lights on RT inset on panniers .

    Found this video on You tube showing a 2021 RT
    If you look at the rear there appears to be extra lights set in the panniers
    Wondered if this is an after market addition or if BRP are fitting them for other countries depending on their lighting regulations

    My guess is that the video is showing a Chinese market version. The wiring schematic shows a Chinese market "Rear Fog Light". Also, note that the side case reflectors are amber. Red is required for the US market.

    Those amber 'lights' will almost certainly be reflectors, & not necessarily lights at all. Apart from the obvious front/rear facing turn signal/indicators (cos pretty much every other part of the World requires them to be orange at both ends - no flashing red lights allowed! ) any 'lights' coloured orange that you might see on a non-North American spec Spyder are likely to be reflectors.

    Many other countries outside North America require those side facing reflectors, and rear facing reflectors plus reversing lights too; which is also why EU & Aus spec Spyders have always had those dirty great 'add-on' Licence Plate holders with a LARGE inbuilt Reversing Light plus those out-rigger style turn indicators & reflectors! Check out the wee dinky out-rigger reflectors that Martin the Vlogger removes from his latest Ryker builds if you want to see how silly things can get, juuust to satisfy the local regulations!

    No lights like that on my bike. But I am putting the aftermarket red LED's from Slingmods on soon.
