These would be better than bulbs...1157 will still outshine most of the LED's.

Are you happy with your tour pack LEDs and your saddlebag LEDs? Any complainants? BAL looks nice too.

Thank you for your service.

I agree with this statement.
Was on a ride last weekend with 400 bikes and the guy in front of me had a bright LED taillight and compared to the other taillights it seemed that he had his brakes applied causing some issues within the group.
I run the new Harley layback LED taillight and during normal operation although it is brighter than the normal stock taillight it isn't so bright that it appears that the brake light is on. Now when applying the brake it gets very bright.
This is the way a taillight should operate in my opinion.

I am WAY too lazy for that and have mine set as bright as possible with a few bursts, solid a couple seconds and repeat.
