Question Light me up!
I want to light up my ride so I glow bright in the dark, but there are a lot of lighting kits out there. I have my eye on Electropods, but haven't committed to them yet. Any advice on which brand is the most reliable, brightest, and worth the money would be appreciated.

Check with your state LEO's, it may be illegal to run with your Electropods or simular LED's tucked under your tank. Looks cool in the parking lot though. If you want to see and BE SEEN than add another head light, add some driving light wide and down low and make your tail lights brighter (LED's OK here and legal).

I would rather be seen in the day time. Night time is an easy fix.

I use stingerz from cusomdynamics.com, they work very well for me and at a great price.

I've read bad reviews on the Electropods, colors fading and burning out.

Custom Dynamics wizards or Kuryakyn lizards are the way to go.

I had lizard lights on my sportster. Hit a button and change between about 7 different colors, have them stay on, or flash on and off as well as adjust the speed that they flashed at.
