Default Custom Dynamics - Probeam vs Genesis

Hey All, Happy New Year!
Got some Christmas Funds to spend, and getting ready to buy some LED Lighting.
Custom Dynamics solid turn signals, Probeam vs Genesis, is there anyone who has had both and can shed some light?
Is the Probeam much brighter then the Genesis?

Haven't run the solid ambers before but I have had the older Dynamic Ringz vs the Probeam Ringz. The amber portion of the Probeam Ringz are much brighter.

Default Solid white Probeam

I run the solid white fronts that turn Amber when signalling, solid red rear. These Probeam lights are the brightest lights I have ever seen as turn/brake.

On my street glide, the whites look like passing lights.

You may find this post useful -- we did some comparison photos of our Genesis Dynamic Ringz and our ProBEAM Dynamic Ringz. ProBEAM is on the left in the picture below; Genesis (the older version) is on the right.

Thanks for the comparison. Is it weird that I think I like the Genesis better? To me, it looks like the ring itself is more visible.

You sure can't beat the Custom Dynamics service even them getting back to you posting in the Harley forum. They get a big THUMBS UP from me.

Not weird. I chose the Genesis over the ProBeam because I liked the looks and the price tag just a little bit more. Make no mistake, they're bright!

I'll second that. They are top notch when it comes to answering questions or any other customer service issues. I'd also agree with whoever it said the dynamic ringz white/amber front signals look like passing lamps on a SG, mine do as well.

You're welcome! Both the Genesis and the ProBEAM series tend to wash out camera sensors, causing the center of the ring to "fill in" and look like a solid white light. The Genesis running light ring is better defined in the photo because the Genesis LEDs are not quite as bright as the ProBEAM LEDs.
