VT600 rear lights

[Meatloaf]

Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but for some strange reason tonight I glanced back behind my bike tonight to check my lights. I noticed that both of my turn signal lights were off on the rear, but were on in the front. The turn signals work fine.

I coulda swore that the rear lights were on all of the time just like the front ones are. Can someone confirm this before I start looking into things and waste my time?

97 ace and 00 vlx neither have the rear lights on

That, IMHO, is a downfall of a bike, not enough lighting at the rear. FYI I don't think it's legal to illuminate the amber lights at the rear continuously, it's for turning only.
That is one reason I installed the brake/turn signal light conversion kit http://tinyurl.com/6k6uww along with a 12 red LED light for each of my turn signals.
It makes a big difference for illumination at the rear as I now have 3 red lights instead of 1 as well as a lot brighter red light instead of amber on either side.
I did something similar on the front also, replacing the regular amber lens/clear bulb with the same type of LED as the rear only amber. With a bit more modifications I have a bright amber bulb on either side that goes completely off and on for a turn. Much more noticable.....Mike

Thanks for the information. Guess I was just imagining things thinking that they were on all of the time.
