Personally, I like Bright *** Lights BAL1, had one on my last three bikes (same one, just moved it from bike to bike to bike).

So, FXLRyan sent me a Custom Dynamics low profile LED tail light and I got it installed today. Not earth shattering I know, but he didn't want to be paid in advance of him shipping it. He said via text message "If you like it and it works for you, you can Zelle or Venmo me $xx. If you don’t like it you can send it back". This guy was raised right. Thanks again.

I Have always like the CD products, and had this same light on her Sportster. Even if it does look like a toaster, I like the look.

I also have H-D LED rear turn signal inserts with red lenses. The dealer can program them to be both brake and turn signals.
Is it possible to program this yourself?

No, you need the H-D Digital Tech. Unless you can program the Body Control Module (BCM).
