Default LED Tail light, anyone?

Came across an eBay listing for this LED light. It's just $42 so I was thinking about getting it. Anyone has used it or has it or any other better recommendations?


Thanks

Looks like my HD under fender edge light. I like it! Got mine from HD but looks the same!

Yup, looks identical to the HD one. I have it installed and both my wife and brother said it makes huge difference when they've been driving behind me. For that price, I say do it. Easy install and a little more visibility goes a long way.

I've got the Kuryakyn L.E.D. tails and L.E.D. turn signals in front. Along w/ the L.E.D. amber signals on the HD mirrors. They tails/turn signals were easy plug in. Just needed to install a load equalizer and it was good to go! I love how bright the lights are now. All the lights on my Nightster are L.E.D.

I just put the HD brand one on my Iron last week. The tape and mounting bracket look different, but its half the price of the HD version.

I had the tail light installed not long after getting the bike as I thought it looked good. All my biker friends said it made one hell of a difference for visibility. I kinda liken the rear look of my iron now to Roberto (see pictures below) from Futurama. The HD one IMHO is worth it, but hopefully the copy is of similar quality. Let us know how you get on

Is this light just plug and play? Or will I need a load equalizer because they are LED?
