Holy crap I didn't notice that. I know the shop that is selling the light. I bought my actual Phase 7 from them. I might get one for my project bike for that price.

I also did the fuelmoto upgrade on the head and spot lights.the brake and trunk running lights i went with Superbright lights.The brake light is a duel purpose bulb,red running and brake function and white plate light function,works real nice.I did not do the blinkers for i did not want to mess with equalizers.I have smoke lenses on the blinkers with yellow(amber) bulbs.That combo makes the blinkers much brighter then the stock red blinkers.The fuelmoto bulbs work very nice at night ,although i do not ride much at night.During the day they do grab the attention of cagers,this was obvious right from the start.Are they as bright as daymakers or custom dynamics? most likely not.Those two choices will set you back a whole lot more then plug and play fuelmoto lights.One thing to remember is do not put white L.E.D. bulbs behind red lenses.They will look pink in color,not good.Use red bulbs behind red lenses.

LED's
You can get the Truck-lite for 165.00 for the head lite. I thing the same brand aux lights are like 160 a pair. There is a review of the best headlights comparing Truck-lite to Daymakers. Google it. But same light/brightness for way less money. I have Daymakers. BTW. Also all leds around the bike as well as fender and engine guard lights. Have no horse in the race just info.

What's the flash pattern light on the taillight? I read that it flashes and you can change the pattern.

I have mine set to the highest brightness level and the flash pattern is 4 flashes, then steady for 3 seconds, then it repeats.

I'm going to jump on OP's thread. Has anyone just put the bulbs in a 2017 Road Glide Special ? Headlights are great, but need something in the tail light and turn signals. Can they just be "plug and play" ?

New can bus bikes will adjust to the LEDs. If they blink fast when installed run the flashers for a few minutes.
