How to install a Programmable Integrated Tail Light on a 2018+ Kawasaki Ninja 400 by TST Industries 

I did this install yesterday and it works great plus looks awesome! I did the fender eliminator at the same time. There are a couple things I caution future buyers on: 1. Label your screws or you'll waste time scrubbing through the video upon reassembly. 2. It's really f*cking difficult to access and subsequently reinstall the screws where the rear plastic meets the front fairings. Having a flexible screwdriver extension makes it much easier. 3. Take your time pulling off the rear plastic side panels or you can break a tab. Get some double sided 3M foam tape if you do this. I know from prior experiences that the "permanent hold" indoor stuff is strong enough to hold things together without fusing the plastics together permanently like the automotive stuff. 4. When putting the rear side panels back together, it can be easier to remove the grommets from the plastic you pulled off and place them on the frame first. 5. This will DEFINITELY take you longer than 25 minutes. I was super annoyed once I realized this, as I had to cancel plans for later that day. Even the guy in the video takes longer than 25 minutes once you account for all the jump cuts and speed up video. Plan for 2 hours. It would still take me at least an hour even having done it before, because reassembly is finicky.

Wow I've had this bike 3 weeks and just realized not only did it come with muffler slip on and fender eliminate from the previous owner but also has the TST tail light mod. Love the bike even more now.

FYI, took me 5 hours to do both fender eliminator and the tail light! But, happy with the results 👍

Took me about 3 hours to do it as i couldn't figure out how to put together the adjustable license plate brackets. They were all broken down in small parts and i suck at legos. so when wife got home....it took her 10 seconds to tell me how they go together and that took most of my time and ALSO the CUTTING part was a little difficult. Probably because i did not want my fender to have blade cut marks(still managed 2 very small cuts). So those two things probably took most of the time. Now my 2019 ninja looks like a ninja and not some ugly fender hanging bike. If it wasn't raining right now in Chicago, i would be riding it to show off my new fender and tail light lol *Thank you TST industries as this video helped me a LOT.* PS: Go easy on the sides as i broke the inside small hinge that slides in, but it still looks great and doesn't do much of a difference.

This will definitely be a must purchase when i get a Ninja myself! Also the fender eliminator.

I love the smoked with the black color, I got the clear in the garage sale, but man I almost want to swap it and just pay the premium because this is beautiful!!

You guys are madmen. I'll be right back. Edit: I'm back, just ordered it.

Finally got around to installing pretty much everything, tail light, turn signals. Plate light and the minimal plate bracket. Everything went great until I realized I was missing the rear tail light bracket. Should arrive this week. Over all the quality of the lights is great. The videos, enormously helpful!

Hey Bart. Just wanted to say thank you sir for this video. Without it, there is no way I could have installed this without breaking something or wasting a bunch of time. I ended up breaking one of those locking tabs on one of the side tails but I was able to super glue it and restore it no problem. The light looks amazing and now the install is so much cleaner. Thank you guys for making this product. I am very pleased with the brightness and the look.

Thanks for this video. Though I purchased my taillight from a different company for aesthetics reasons. I was able to use this to get the breakdown procedure to get the taillight out and the new one in.

Gonna tackle this tomorrow on the 23 KRT Ninja Appreciate this step-by-step tuturial

Assembly is much more difficult than disassembley. I'm now stuck at the 3mm Allen head. I wish you had better angles for putting back each bolt

Good thing you mentioned about the little fairing slot. I unfortunately cracked one but the other came out after I failed my first attempt on the other fender. I’m super upset at myself tho but I should have secured the end so that when I pry off the last grommet, that little tip woulda been safe from snapping. And UNBELIEVEABLE that Kawasaki made SUCH a small and fragile piece for that ☹️☹️☹️ but I LOVE this tail light!

That product looks great, congrats! Thanks for the instructions.

I tried to install it without removing all those parts in your video, and it's impossible. I followed all the steps, installation completed 👍

what a beauty

My son installed this for me. Took awhile but it looks fantastic!

Used this to put a red tailcover under my seat. Thank you! I thought the grommets for the side panels were screws put in the most impossible place lol

looks amazing great work i just purchased the 23 400 ABS and am looking forward to switching to this setup thank you the instruction

I've already installed your LED signals and Fender Eliminator on my Wife's 400 KRT (Even made a little video of it). Very happy with the products. How does the Tail/Brake light brightness compare to OEM in the smoked version? I had a smoked tail light on my ZX12 and it really cut down on the light output..

Reassembling the rear was by far the hardest part, I busted both clips on the back side panels but no worries some double sided 3m tape will fix it, my advice just take the fairings off. Other then that just took me about 2 hours. LABEL YOUR SCREWS

On my Xmas list!

I love the video but i hate how simple you made it look putting it back in the hole wish there was more in depth with the angle

Pretty easy install, looks amazing

Wish you guys made a red lens I think the black and the clear looks terrible

Looks great, gonna place my order soon! Good work TST.

These tails look great. I had a question about the bike itself though. I’m getting into bikes and i know i want to pick up a Ninja 400 as my starter but I want this black color way. I was wondering if the color of you bike is factory and if so what is it because i can’t find anything like it. If not did you get it repainted or is it a new Fairing kit.

So sick!

I wish you would have shown how you took that key latch off..

Had a question, this screw at 5:51 , I was wondering if you knew the part number or the name of it, I have seemed to misplace one while installing the taillight and am finding it quite difficult to find the correct part

Is this pretty bright looking at options for a setup like this

beauty

Do you need the electronic LED flasher relay to use this?

Question; This is a REALLY good tail light? i mean that there are so many of this light in the market but in the daylight you can not see the indicators...So, this work GOOD on day?

Hi, can anyone tell me how to adjust Idle on Ninja 400 please?

Just finished installing the Elite standard Fender and the Pod sígnala, do you guys have a video explaining how would the wiring work for the Integrated tail light? I will be doing it tomorrow and also have the Y signal splitter but confused on how it will work, thank you!

just ordered mine!so im going to need that relay to use the signal light?

Awesome Video! I just need this install Video!

Will the TST Quadrix tails work in conjunction with this unit?

I should have watched this video before purchasing. Wish I had the time and the patience for this install, looks like I’ll be returning these… smh…

Do you need to disconnect the battery before hand?

Those tank pads are not stock are they available on your website?

I just picked mine up today.... i'm really curious as to how bright it is compare to the OEM light? Oh and how long will this install realistically take?

Jw do u guys sell Y connector for the signal turn?

You have a PDF copy of the step by step setup??

FINALLY

Looks sick af!

anyone know if this will pass NYS inspection

Nice. How did you remove the main seat??

I want this but does the fender eliminator bend back so it can sit flush with the back of the bike Bc I don’t want it out

Fuck yeah i just installed mine and love it, now to see how long it lasts

Do you only need one flasher relay for both the tail and side lights?

This helped me so much, thank you.

how do we install the load balancing resistors?

hi Bart. is there any way for someone residing in Singapore to get this?

When you buy the hyperbundle pack does it contains all the relays or are they all seperate purchase? for both front and tail signals

How to remove blinking stop light

Where can I get the white adapters for the turn signals? The assembly I got came with the rounded off ends . Bullet end wires?

Is the plate holder included? If not, where can I get that plate holder?

Is it illegal to not have license plate lights?

Hey just a question. Could i change this tail light for ninja 650?

Wish I could do that which one would you use on a 2021 kawasaki ninja 400 passion red

I'm wondering whether this can be used with the 2021 ninja400 model.

Does this work for the 2023 ninja 400?

Can this be installed without the relay? or do I need to buy it along with the tail light?

Fits the 2024 Ninja 500?

is this legal in new hampshire?

Do you need to buy the fender eliminator to get this look, or can you buy a cheaper license plate holder?

Since the turn signals are Integrated in the tail light do we still need to put turn signals near the license plate ?

This is so badass, unfortunately not street legal in my state :(

nice

How did you mount the relay?

Can it work at zx25r? Thanks

Is there a way to have the integrated tail lights as well as the indicators still?

Not that I don't trust build quality... I would make sure it all works as it should before putting it all back together... But that's just me 🤔

Do you guys offer those tank grips? Or that comes stock? Thanks

Can I get it with Ninja250?

is it DOT approved?

do use ship to Australia?

I’ve got this in my ninja, it looks amazing but it leaks so much

Where i can buy that tail light?

Do I still need the resistor if I purchase these with load balancing resistors included ?

Are these street legal in California? I know they are picky with the distance in between blinkers.

What are all the tools needed for this?

Are hazard lights there for the ninja 400

yesss!

Will this fit the 2020 model?

Do you guys ship in 🇮🇳?

Is this allowed in germany?

Today I learned I will never have another motorcycle with fairings

You could get defected for this in Australia, which is madness. I had a similar unit on my Ninja and was defected for it, plus the cop added the lack of a rear reflector as a bonus, smh. Something about the spacing between left and right indicators needing to be a certain minimum distance apart to be easily discernible to other drivers.

🇵🇭👍🏁🏍️

Something about that intro music turns me off

nice

Does this work with the 2021?
