Default Decided to add some LED lighting

I've been debating adding a LED brake light for years now to increase my visibility. I've come close to buying the Bright *** Lights model a couple times but have always held off. The other day I decided I wanted to add the Custom Dynamics white/amber front turn signal lights and after installing those I liked them so much I went ahead and did the rears. Eastern Performance has an unadvertised sale knocking the price down substantially more than anyone else on the internet right now. You have to add to cart to see the special pricing and discount code forum5 worked for me to knock another 5% off. I believe total discount was over 20% off MSRP, and you get free shipping. They're one state away so I had everything the next day.

There are a lot of options out there to choose from but I ended up with their 1157 dual filament style white/amber 'Dynamic Ringz' up front, their 1156 single filament red LED's for the rear, and their Smoke style Black Out rear brake light. Also needed the stabilizer and triple play module for my particular setup. Overall I'm happy with how it all turned out. I just hope someone with epilepsy doesn't pull up behind me at a light.

Here's a video showing everything working:


With the Triple Play Run/Turn/Brake module from Custom Dynamics you have several patterns to choose from. This is pattern 6 which pulses the heck out of the rear lights for 3 seconds then goes solid bright. If the turn signal is active it only pulses the tail light. I think I'd prefer it only pulse for 1 or 2 seconds but nothing I can do about that. When the lights are off they have a nice sleek look to them:

I just don't think you can place a price on increasing your visibility with all of the distracted drivers out on the roads today. Nice choice ..!

I love my Custom Dynamics layback smoke tail light. It's super bright, looks great, and bolted on with no problem. I've been wanting to order turn signal inserts from them for awhile, but every time I look at their website I get a little bit confused as to what to order exactly. I guess I'll figure it now to take advantage of this pricing, though!

Thanks, mattVA!

Great find,, they are currently out of stock for the 1156 red clusters,, that was a great price.

That's what came to my mind. I'd like an LED headlamp but unless I get a Daymaker for cheap I'm not going to mess with it.
