LED taillight???

Any thoughts on those LED taillights with the integrated turn signals. I am thinking about either getting rid of my directionals and using that or relocating them to the plate area. Also, If I did swap it out for the LED would that void any part of the warranty?

I've got the smoked Kuryakyn Deluxe Laydown LED on my bike. I like it but it doesn't have the integrated turn signals. Why? Because my friend has the Panacea with the integrated turn signals and they don't seem to show up as well during the day. They are bright but they just don't catch the eye, I'm not sure why. They look great at night but that's not good enough, IMO. He's so sensitive about it, he gives hand signals when he turns. Shouldn't be a warranty issue, unless like anything else you put on the bike, it can be isolated as the cause of a warranty issue. I do remember seeing something about them not being legal everywhere. I didn't even check my state. If I ever get a ticket for it, which is doubtful, I will just put the old one back on. The lights without the turn signals are plug and play installs - no load equalizers to install or anything.

THATS THE ONE I WAS TALKING ABOUT , THE PANACEA. I HAVE THE LOW PROFILE LED TAIL LIGHT AND IT IS A LOT BRIGHTER THAN STOCK. I WOULD RECOMMEND IT. BUT I AGREE I HATE THE WINGS....

I have the panacea. It does lack visibility during the day but I took off the turn signals and frankly dont care. I use hand signals if I feel I should. I like the extra attention it gives when using the brakes.
