Default Blew My Load in the Rear

Hahaha. Not exactly. I have a 2013 FXDB with no center brake light. I'm going to put in a center brake light eventually, but for right now I've got these Run/Tun/Brake lights only and have a big ride this weekend.

Problem is I blew a bulb yesterday and want to switch to LEDs and maybe put in a RTB module.

My questions for ya'll are, 1.) Which brand and model LED RTB lights should I get? I wasn't sure which size I need and if all of them would have the Run/Turn/Break functionality I need. Also, they need to light up red when breaking, since they are the only lights.

2.) Will I need a RTB module when switching to LEDs and will one work without the center tail light? I saw one by custom dynamics, but wanted to know which others you recommend.

All replys are much appreciated.

I just installed the Custom Dynamics "Triple Play," which I picked up from RevZilla. It's a really nicely made sealed unit which installs easily, but it does take up some room under the seat. I had to use a signal stabilizer as well (for LEDs), but I think the later CanBus bikes may not need it. It has a bunch of programming choices which I liked (in terms of strobe options), unlike the Kuryakin one. Another nice thing is that it let's you set the brightness of the "run" functions, so the three rear lights can be properly matched.

No experience with any other brands.

Talked to the guy at Custom Dynamics, apparently since it's a 2013, it already as that RTB functionality and there is a smaller stobe you can get to change the light patterns.

He also said that my aftermarket lights should take the stock size LEDs. That still leaves me with a bazillion choices as far as the lights themselves. Does anyone have any recommendations?
