Default 1997 Road King Best light upgrade??

I have a 97 Road King and I want to upgrade the lights to all LED if possible. I have done upgrades on my 2014 Silverado and I had to add resistors on the LED lamps to prevent rapid flashing due to low current draw.
I would like to put on a stobing rear brake light and have looked into Custom Dynamics, Eagle lights and Hogworks. Has anyone done the upgrades? What reccomendations do you have?

I recently went with CD LED headlight and spots.
A WORLD of difference!!
My next move is the CD rear light strobe setup.
I've only heard great things about CD.
And customer service was extremely helpfull too.
​​​You won't regret going with them..

I use CD for directionals and Eagle Lights for headlights.
