Anyone got experience with these, they make various types of leds mostly for brake lights. I'm also interested in using the Hyper-Whites for running lights in an effort to be more visible. Let me know what you know about them, especially the Hyper-Whites. Thanks

I can only comment on the brake lights , but they work really well.
I helped a friend with the U32 kit install on a 08 Yamaha Stratoliner.
The Stratoliner had a directional bar similar to a FLH Harley.
We mounted the hyperlites between the stock brake light and each directional on the directional bar.
We selected the always on for run , and always flash while braking.
The Hyperlites are probably 3 times as bright as the run/brake light on the bike.
The flashing Hyperlites are extremely bright and irritating to look at for any length of time.
For the money , we felt it was a great bang for the buck.
A very good value for safety in my mind.
A nicely manufactured product with a great set of directions also.

I installed a pair of the brake hyper lites several months ago. These things really make you a lot more visible from the rear when braking. You'll notice vehicles that are behind you slowing a lot sooner and that's what I like the most about them. It's a great safety product.

I added them to my bike two years ago. I will put them on ANY bike I buy in the future.

I've got them, and I love em. I've had a ton of people ask about them. They really get your attention.
