Default Which Tail Light Is Brighter?
I have a Brightass taillight that I will be selling soon because I want the smoked version. Now, I know that it's really bright, and I really like it. My question to those that had both, is custom dynamics LED taillight brighter or equal to the brightass taillight? I want to go LED all the way around and would like to get everything in one place.

Nope, not as bright, nor does it have the adjustability of the BAL. You're about to trade down...

The BAL is so bright that I usually run it on the middle setting.

Where can I go to get the LED turn signals to match the taillight then? I sold my BAL-1R so I can get the smoked one from them.

I've got a BAL-1 with Harley's LED Turn Signals and I think it looks pretty good. The Harley LED Turn Signals are pretty bright also.

I've got Red for both, but I think Harley offers the Smoked Turn Signals also.

I've also got the connector so that the Turn Signals double as Brake lights.

Yea, I like to be seen
