Led tail light and oil leak

Hi I have had my 09 super glide for a year now, I think it's time for led tail lights, which brand is good and what to stay away from? My other question is I have an oil leak rear of the head is that a common thing on these bikes?

Thanks

I'm satisfied with my BAL tail light, the oil leak may a rocker box gasket leaking. BAL (Bright *** Light).

BAL tailight here as well.
Oil leaks are not common on any Twin Cam bike.

I just replaced the bulbs with LED's off Amazon. But you do need to get the module so they don't flash in rapid fire. I would think that no matter which LED's you use your going to need the module regardless. It's about $100. The bulbs where cheap (I think $15 for the pair). The bonus of the module is it also turns your turn signals into run/brake as well.

Can't help with the oil leak, but our Low Profile ProBEAM taillight would look great on your Super Glide!

We also have a number of different turn signal options, including a plug-and-play ProBEAM conversion kit.
