Default Brightasslights

Folks,

After seeing the previous post regarding the LED TAIL LIGHT/BRAKE assembly, I went
ahead and ordered the BAL-3ST. I have a 2008 Electra Glide and the install took only 10 minutes maximum. I have all the fancy cameras but pictures don't give the unit justice.

This tail light/brake assembly is bright......If you look directly at them, you will see spots....Darn near blinding........

The unit is easy to program with the supplied magnet.

Search on previous posts about BRIGHTASSLIGHTS and the photos that were posted.

This is definitely a safety plus item.........

Regards,
David
Houston,Texas

I installed the BAL 1 and it really rocks. I have noticed that cars tend to stay back a bit more at stops.

No regrets with mine. A lot of people I ride with have gone and bought one since they have seen mine. It is great.

What is the difference between the BAL 1 and 3?
Is it the brightness or different effects?

Happened to be in a shop in another town last weekend. They had a BAL product display. Asked for a demo....holy crap Batman......I had to put my sunglasses on..still saw spots for a few minutes afterwards... it was one bright **** light. I will have one this fall. I am not sure which one it was but you can change the display or brightness. I am so looking forward to that one.

The difference is in the style, the BAL 3 is a lay down style which looks great on my buddy's Fat Boy. The BAL 1 is styled like the stock light on my RK, it looks like stock until I light it up! I love it and do notice a reaction from people behind me when I apply my brakes.
