LED's really not worth it
I have smoked lenses on every light on my bike, so I got led's for all of them because the standard bulbs just don't show thru real good. I have led's from Radiantz, Street Magic and Custom Dynamics, all under 8 months old and so far at least one from each company has died. They all have a lifetime warranty but the bs you have to go thru to get an exchange makes me wonder if I would ever do it again, I don't think I will, it's just not worth it.

All my ridin Buds say my rear LEDS (Badlands, Radiantz) are way to bright, looks like my brake light is always on, took em out and just went with run,stop,brake module. LEDs for sale, PM me.

I have ALOT of Radiantz and have never had any problems. LED's are the future on everything that lights up. Incandecent bulbs are very inefficient and dull and will never be able to do what LED's are capable of. I love mine!

I agree about the older bulbs but I don't think the quality is there yet for the led's. I had 4 Radiantz brand and 2 of them are shot, also lost 1 Street Magic and 1 Custom Dynamics (which is mfgd by Street Magic). I could have bought enough incandecents for a lifetime and more. And everytime an led needs replaced you spend even more cash sending it back. It cost over $600 to do the entire bike in led's (11 + module)

Radiantz quality has gone in the ******* as of late. The first sets of theirs I ran lasted a long time. The more recent sets are a different story. Funny thing is it seems like the reds go out quick. I have had a set of ambers on the front for a few years now and all the LED's are still fine. Gonna try Custom Dynamics Street Magic clusters. At least with them it will be a pleasant experience dealing with warranty replacement if need be.
