Default LED taillight options

I am looking for a LED taillight form my 05 electra. I have looked at BAL but I am looking for something a little more pocket friendly. I already have plasma rods and now would like a brighter taillight. Are the cheaper ones worth buying?

I bought the HD LED tail light, very happy with it, much brighter then stock, nice OEM quality and more reasonable then a lot of the aftermarket stuff.

The BAL taillights are one of the few things on my bike that I believe are worth what I paid. I've been rear-ended twice in my life. For me, a rear-end impact is second only to a head-on collision. Spend the money on the BAL or CD taillight. They are worth it.

I bought my BAL-1 when the dealer had a 20% off sale.

Yep, that's what I did, that's what I did except bought mine new. Still have one on current bike and waiting to put my spare on next 2nd bike.

IDK if much cheaper but saw Custom Dynamics display at an HD shop yesterday and very bright. Don't know much anything else about it but like said, BAL is some of the best money you can spend.
