Brake, turn signal kit
Anyone know who makes a good kit that turn the turn signals into brake lights? I want to chop my rear fender and get rid of the tail light.
Thanks,
Steve

I went with Badlands, J&P part# 380-215 with a built in load equalizer for running either incandescent or LEDs. Then to really make the turn/brake/run lights BRIGHT I bought red Radiantz LED inserts.

Hey Steve,
I really like my Badlands Illuminator that combines the Run,Brake,Turn (RBT) module with an active Load Equalizer (LE) that doesn't heat up like the passives do. Switching to the Badlands Radianz LEDs really lit up the back end, I put them up front as well. They are way brighter than the stock incandescent bulbs. My key takeaways are:
1) LEDs are way better than incandescent, but require a LE.
2) Passive (i.e. Harley) Load Equalizers get real hot, and Active LEs don't.
3) Can't tell from the Biketronics web-site if they have a unit that combines RBT and LE functions, but the Badlands Illuminator 3 does and it's plug-n-play.

Just added the LED clusters and module to my 2010 FXDC. Very happy with the results. Insanely bright.

My HD one lasted about 2 weeks. That's when I went to biketronics.
Be interesting to see how many 'right running light' problems are out there...
