Looking for a different tailight for a Deluxe

I went for a ride with my gf this weekend. There were 3 bikes and she rode in front of me the entire time. She has a 2011 Deluxe. The other bike was ahead of her. Her taillight was so dull that I questioned if it was even on. The tailight on the bike ahead of her was brighter. The brake light was bright but the running light was useless.

At some point she will change the turn signals to led's and use the rear ones and running and brake lights. What are some options for the taillight?

Thanks
Eric

You can get an LED for the tombstone.

I've got the same Kurakyn LED and it works great. Looks much better when lit up too than the stock bulb. I got mine here:

Hmm, Looks interesting, They also sell the "smoked" tombstone lens, Do you know if that can be used with their Led board light for the tombstone? they would have to be a red Led, correct?
