Early r6 tail lights

[Jonross]

Hey everyone I have a question for the people in the know.

I'm confused with the tail light arrangement on the early r6, some have a big ugly single tail light and some have the twin round rear lights that look alot better.

It seems to me like it's a mixture of years because I've noticed some bikes have the twin rear light and then newer ones have the big ugly thing and visa versa.

My question is, is the twin rear an upgrade or is it of a certain year bike and fits on the earlier bike?

My budget is a little tight and I'm only finding bikes in my price range with the ugly rear light but I want the twin lights, so can I source the rear fairing and lights and just bolt it all to the bike replacing the big single light?

Forgive me if it's a stupid question, I'm an experienced mechanic and car enthusiast so am very used to modification and making things fit where they were never mean to be, I just know sod all about bikes atm, unless it's a 2 stoke dirt bike lol.

Thanks for reading and help
