Default Alloy Arts Strut Marker Lights Bright Enough?

To use as a brake light and turn signals? I want to get rid of the bullets on the rear and use a run brake turn module. I will be deleting the stock taillight and smoothing the rear fender.

The LEDs are very bright, but keep in mind they are much smaller than the stock signals. My experience is that you really have to look for them to see them.

Was going to use heartlands strut leds for the same purpose. There was only 4 leds, def not enough in my opinion to use as stand alone lights

Had them on my Fatboy. I would say no. No one riding behind me could tell when they where on during the day.
