Yep, LED's are brighter than incandecent bulbs. If you are looking right at them. Problem is, we aren't. LED's are directional while incandecent's are more dispersed. This effect maifests itself more so during daylight. The Tri-Bar has more LED's in it than the average LED bulb. Much easier to see even in daylight. I wouldchoose LED panels over LED bulbs in any application, including turn signals.

Im wondering if some one makes the incandecent L.E.D.tail lightwith the amber L.E.D.turn signals incorperated in them! I think it would clean up the fender with no turn signals and just plug old holes H.D. badgeplugs. I found one for my YZF R-1

The problem is the low lay down smoked lens is it's upside down on the bob tail fender, and the leds are at the wrong angle, so there not as bright as they would be if the lens was turned over like on a wrap around fender.. My wife has one on her Dyna and it is bright, but it's right side up as oposed to upside down like on the bob tail fenders,Just my .02
