I've had these on my wish list for some time.
On the way to the Hagerstown Bike Week on Sat we an Audi plow under a Mercedes SUV just 2 cars in front of us. Later when we were walking around the vendor area and the lighting vendor had Fillerz it was an easy "sale" to get my wife interested. A bit more light back there to hopefully avoid getting rear ended ourselves.
We rode 150 miles today with another bike following us and when we stopped he commented about how bright they are.

I'm a huge fan of Custom Dynamics and always outfit my new bikes with their quality stuff. When these first came out I was hot to get a pair. My buddy ordered a pair and I installed them for him. After riding behind him for awhile, I hate to admit it but I don't think they're that nice, bright, or of their typical quality. I took 'em off my wish list. Seems weird to me to say that about them but I just can't do it.

These things throw off a lot of light, so the whole back end of my bike lights up when activated. But you are correct....can't see the actual lights from the side because they are recessed behind the bags. Still better and brighter than just stock lighting.

From a 2015 street glide special owner, I've always wondered why the light bar on the back of each bag doesn't light up under breaking conditions, is it nothing more than a fancy reflector?

I was told the open design at the rear between the bags and rear fender was to help ventilate heat from the motor and pipes. I don't really know if that is true or not.
