Do you guys really think custom dynamic turn sginal LED's are a good price? $70 for two bulbs is very expensive for LEDs. Did you get them on sale or something? Id be interested in a cheaper alternative or a 50% off sale.

I love my Custom Dynamics LED rear turn signals/running lights. Very bright and buddies say they can see my turn signals much better in daylight.

Very expensive compared to what? Kuryaken is more money and made in China. HD led turn signals are more money, much, much harder to install - not plug and play at all (have to take the fairing apart), made in China, and they are absolute dog sh*t. Mine burned out half their leds in less than a year and they weren't very bright to begin with. Same with the tail light. A complete waste of money.

Custom Dynamics are made in the USA (which is enough for me right there), are plug and play (but you do need a load equalizer - that's another $60 bucks which = the $$ spent on the Harley crap, but it covers all 4 corners), are bright as the sun, and have a lifetime warranty.

So yes - I do think they are a good price because you actually get results for your hard earned dollar. Can you buy cheaper? Yep, but you get what you pay for. Sometimes less.

Only problem for LED tail lights is with the bikers following you in group rides. They look like your brake lights are on all the time, and it can be annoying.

Brightass light as my vote here is short video and I think you can see how bright it is even in the daytime.

Thank you for the feedback. Scored a BAL-3S here on the forum last Sunday. Should receive it tomorrow.
