Rode with my V47 trunk yesterday. Don't normally use the big one, but was planning on some shopping on the way home from work.
I've always found it comical that Givi insists on putting "tail lights" on their trunks that serve no function unless you buy their extra light kits. They don't even function as reflectors.
At some point a few years ago, I pulled the lenses off of this one and cut some Scotchlite reflective tape to fit inside the lenses, then put it back together. I never really paid attention to how effective it could be until last night. The UPS guy was making a late pickup, and his headlights were pointed at the back of my bike inside my shop. I guess it does work!
