Default Rushmore lid spoilers with led lights?

Anyone have these? How bright are the lights. I'm on the fence with these and the wrap around that go under the lid. I know how bright the bigger ones are. But they don't look right to me. Kind of out of place. If I did get the bigger ones I'd color match the body and run smoke lenses. The spoilers look a lot better. But it's about more lights to be seen.

Any pics would help.

I'll be watching this thread, as I have been wondering the same thing. For all the lights on the back of these Rushmores it really isn't bright enough

I agree. I added all the led lights and the led tribar light that's also a brake light but I want more.

The H-D led lights that mount on the saddlebags (though bright) do look like some add on lights from Pep Boys. Not something I want on my bike.

I added the tourpak spoiler with LED running/brake lights to my 2005. At the time that was the only option available that I liked. The LED strip was small and virtually invisible in day light hours IMO. I didn't add the matching saddlebag spoiler LED running/brake lights. I have followed a couple of bikes with them a from a added visiblity point of view I wasn't impressed.
I added the "PEP boy lights" to my 2014 Ultra and couldn't be happier. My wife watches as I leave the house for a ride and always comments how brightly lit the back of our bike is. To each their own!

Ya. I'm used to my 11 ultra that had 2k in leds all around. Going from that to 2 bullets sucks. Those lights you have are bright. No doubt. I just there was less bulk to them. That's why I'm considering the black ones that I'll get painted to match the bike. It's Black Quartz.

You give thought to the HD Stealth lights which go under the bags?
Not as bright as the Electra-Glo, but not horrible either.

Put spoiler and lights on 2007 ultra. As far as brightness, they are useless. If you like the look, go for it. 2010 Limited I switched to a CVO rack with the LED lights. Same deal, look nice, not bright at all. 2014 CVO I decided not to add the lights to the rack. Wasn't worth the money to me. But, as a surprise, my wife had the dealer put them on before I picked up the bike. I added custom dynamics LED turn signal/brake lights. If you want brightness, CD lights will light up your day.

First thing I did was add CD lights all around. And the tri bar led that's a brake light. Big difference. I'll look into the stealth lights. Thanks.

Ultra with Aero kit on lid top and relo sig iights on bags. Without tour pack, I want as much light back there as possible. There is some room for more, but running out of connections.
