Default Post your LED run/turn/brake setup

There's so many choices in LEDs, I thought it would be good to see what others have done. The most popular ones are probably CustomDynamics and BAL.
Let's see what other setups people are running.

What ever LED you go with make sure you check the polarity. I have CD's and I could not understand why one signal worked and not the other with the LED clusters I installed. A quick call to CD Tech informed me that the HD's signal polarity may be reversed because for incandescent bulbs polarity does not matter. Not so with LED's.

Why CD does not indicate to check polarity prior to installing their products in their instructions is beyond me.......

I have been on the fence for a while, which way to go... Custom Dynamics, BAL, or my own homemade setup. Either way, I don't want to lose my self-cancelling turn signals.

I have LED flashers plus a badlands equaliser, but my LEDs are no longer available. You're going to get as many answers, given time, as there are options available! So decide on what YOU want.
