I bought a set for front and back with a load equalizer and run stop brake module from them over a year ago. Great product and service. The brake module comes with a switch to make it pulse if you want.

I have them on my wife's Heritage as well as my Heritage. Both of ours have the brake light built into the turn signals. Very bright and the best safety mod you can make...

I just replaced the bulbs in my rear lights with Custom Dynamics LED clusters. Plug and Play - the base fits the 1157 socket, and installs with a push and twist.

I left the stock red lenses on - the lights would be brighter with clear lenses, but I don't like that look.

The LED is noticeably brighter up close - the right light (left in this pic) is LED, and it blows away the stock bulb on the left side (right on this pic)



Here they are from a distance - the difference is not so noticeable in the photo but in real life it's glaringly obvious.

In the video on their website and in your pictures, the lights look more white than red. I don't know if it just hard to get accurate color in video and photos or if the running and brake lights have some white or amber going on?

I think that's a problem with digital photography on a phone cam.

In the "lights reflecting off the garage door" image, it looks like the lights are yellowish - the inside of the door is cream colored, and it was dark in there, so the camera had to guess at the proper white balance. The value of that photo is the comparison, at close range, between the old stock incandescent bulb (to your right - noticeable but not impressive) to the new LED light, which blows out the light sensing on the cheap camera.

In the middle-distance shot, again, the LEDs look almost orange or yellow - but I think that's because the camera adjusts for the average light and color intensity, and the LEDs just overpower the sensors/processing power.

The best color comparison is in the distance photo - both taillights are red.

Bear in mind that the camera I'm using is the cheapest one Samsung could get to meet minimal specs for a cell phone. I'd bet CD uses a cheap camera for their videos, too.

The LEDs are red - without a lens/cover on them, they are RED and almost painful to look at. I don't like the look of a clear lens (where you can see the individual LEDs) so I'm accepting the slight muting of the light with the red lens.

Also, I'm not running a load balancer or anything ... yet. The turn signals and emergency flashers work fine for now, but I still have the incandescent bulbs in the front signals. I think when I swap them out for the Dynamic Ringz, I'll add a load balancer and strobe controller.

How's THAT for too much information?

Pictures can not do these led clusters justice. They are blinding!! I get comments on them how they can be seen from very far away. Try the red led cluster with the smoked lens. Very nice and bright, can not see the actual led's either.
