Red bulb for clear tail light
Hi All. I just put a clear tail light on my bike that was made by Drag Specialties. It came with a red LED bulb that is not bright enough to even see during day time. Question is, what are all of you guys and gals using with your clear or smoke lenses?

LED light bulb sucks big time, I have tried them once and returned them to the parts store same day. You got to have at least 20 leds to make it bright, 1157 led is actually dimmer.

I still think LED cannot be seen from big angle.

I tried the red bulb under a smoked lense and could not see it in the day. Bought the HD LED with smoked lens and really like it.
