Default LED Rear Brake Light
I am looking for a rear LED brake light, is the one from HD any good? Or is there a better one that is plug and play?

Jay

While riding one day on a busy expressway I saw a BMW hit its brake lights, and the brake and the two turn signals flashed on and off 5-7 times before staying on. It was a striking visual- I really noticed that bike and thought, "I want to make sure I'm noticed that way when I go to stop". I found Kuryakin Panacea LED lights for Harleys. I recommend them as a safety improvement. Ride safe. Jay

Here's a good thread on smoked tail lights: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/showt...eferrerid=9012

Also have the Harley Davidson tinted turn signal covers P/N 69304-02 http://*******.com/6n4hj6 with the reflectors painted black.

Ok guys what's the difference between laydown and low profile? Also are either of these as bright or brighter than the HD led's?

Custom chrome makes a nice plug and play LED light. I put the laydown on my Dyna with the blackout sides. Love it and half the price of the competition. Check out the Custon Chrome website under.......... lighting, about 20+ pages into section #5.
