Which LED Tail Light is Best??
I've been looking for some time now to find the best LED tail light on the market for my '09 Fat Bob. Now what I mean by "BEST" is : "Best bang for the Buck" ,"Brightest LED Available" & "Plug & Play ready".
So far I've looked at Harley LED, the Panacea Deluxe from Kuryakyn, and the Bright *** Lights LED. Each has it's advantage, but is there something I'm missing? I'm leaning toward the Kuryakyn P/N 5422 at present unless you guys have something better to suggest.

i have the kuryakyn on both a sportster and ultra.
likes:
- you can have it flash a couple times when brakes first applied
- the turn signal also flashes in the brake light also
dislikes:
- they do not sell parts separate, you have to buy another whole kit
- supposedly the thing under the seat (whats the techy name for it) can get real hot if you put on the flashers so they recommend not using the flashers, although they created something else you could buy to cut down on the heat
so if you like the fact it flashes, and i do, then get they kuryakyn, else get the harley
i don't know anything about the bright *** lights

I had the Custom Dynamics and some of the leds burned out pretty quickly. Now have some no name brand off ebay thats held up over a year now. When you replace the brake light, do not overtorque the two mounting screws. The chrome base is actually just plastic with a metal stop for the screw. Pretty easy to pull them out.

Did you contact them about it? They have a life time warranty that can't be beat. They'll just ask you to email a pic or 2 and then send you a replacement. They're a very cool company to work with.

I went with the kurakyn and have had no problems even with the rear led turn sigs working.
@ Mark10 the load equalizer thingy only overheats if you have the front led's + the rear turn signal led's all going. For that they have a stronger more resistant L E which incidentally carries a heavier price tag!
