I went with LED's from Custom Dynamics after endless hours of research. Their lights are insanely bright and do not wash out in the sunlight! The glow around my bike at night is crazy; no one will miss me on the highway. Best yet, they have fast delivery and absolutely fantastic customer service.

I put on on my Ultra. First time I rode with it I had someone come up and ask if it was a brightasslight. It makes you stand out.

It also has a mode and brightness adjustment.

I would buy it again

Did you go w/ one of the laydown options w/ 48 LEDs, or the full size OEM replacement w/ 136 LEDs?

Was it plug and play, or did you have to do any wiring, or adding modules?


I saw the HD one was plug and play, but has only 20 LEDs for like $140, while the laydown one on CD's site w/ 48 LEDs was like $130, while the full size 136 LED unit was like $180.

I looked at the brightasslights website, and it looks cool, but I don't know how to compare their number of LEDs, the BAL1 says it has 4 Super LEDs, while the Public Safety BAL2 has 12 Super LEDs. Note that the video is of the BAL2 w/ 3 times as many LEDs as the general public version BAL1. Also, it's the most expensive at $200, and only seems to come in red, no smoked or clear options for the monochrome look.

I have an 03 RKC and it already has a HD Run/Brake/Turn, so I'm looking for a way to beef up the brake light over running light, but will probably leave the turns alone, and just do a better taillight.

I read a review of the HD LED light, and people liked it, but then some saw the Custom Dynamics and realized how much brighter they are. I also looked at the Kury Panacea, but I don't like the turn function in the taillight itself, I just want that to be bright red and show I'm stopping.

Hey my friend just put a smoke laydown on his bike from brightasslights. I guess he asked for it and they custom made one for him.
