Brightasslights doesn't make a light for the Tombstone...I have one on my Road King and miss it on my Springer.
I went with a LED bulb and a run/brake/turn controller...but the softail uses most of the 15 amps without the rear turn signal running/tail lights so I was blowing my lights fuse. I am using a 20 amp fuse for the time being until I rewire the passing lights into the aux circuit (which will allow me to keep them on with the high beam).
I think you'll be happy with your custom dynamics choice, here's a vid of my stock RK incandescent to my brightasslight...it's night and day and will hurt your eyes if you look at it too long.

So I took the advice and ordered the Custom Dynamics LED lights for my brake light and turn signals. The brake light went in without issue. Here's the process I followed for the turn signals.
1. Removed both front turn signal bulbs and installed the amber LED boards.
2. Turned on the turn signals and both blinked fine. Just fast after the 2nd blink because I had not installed the Slimline Signal Stabilizer yet.
3. Removed both rear turn signals and installed the red LED boards.
4. The right turn signal works fine. The left turn signal would not turn on.
5. I swapped out the rear turn signals and the problem remained on the left side which means both turn signals are good. The left would still not blink.
6. I removed the left rear LED board and replaced it with the bulb and it worked fine.
I figured maybe it had something to do with the Signal Stabilizer so I installed that and the problem remained. I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong. In the left rear, the original bulb works but the LED board will not.
Does anyone have any ideas on what I can try?

While my bike is in the shop getting top end work done I am also having my Indy install a module so that my blinkers work as brake lights too and still be able to use them as blinkers as well. We had a guy last year killed from getting hit from behind at a light. The girl was doing her nails while driving. Doesn't that just want to make you puke? A wife lost her husband, 3 kid's lost their Father, his parents lost a Son and we all lost a friend and a brother and for what? So she would have freshly painted finger nails.
