+1 on the BAL-1. Just installed on Saturday and I can already tell a difference. Cars stay back

I am also gonna say the BAL is well worth the money .... but if you want to cut that huge cost try the links below. Not too bad a result for under $40.00.

I looked at the BAL-1 and although it was nice, I was not as impressed as I thought I should be.
I ended up going with the $400+ Bal-2 and could not be happier.
I dont have any problems with people updating their mobile facebook status seeing me now

Just make sure you get the correct lamp. The later model tail lights are now the 3157, not the 1157.

I really like these. They are a lot cheaper and are bright as hell too. And are LED, have a white LED top light for license plate and are easy to wire up to to your old tail light plug or you can go to the HD dealer and pick up a new plug and pins to install on the bare wires of the tail light. And they are a lot cheaper. My son and I have them (mine is red and his is the smoke) and have not had any problems with them in three years.

Here is the link that I forgot to insert earlier: http://www.ebay.com/itm/FL-smoke-LED...09193248254528

Starting to see a pattern here? I wouldn't trade my BAL for anything. It can be had at 20% off, no tax, just as I got it. Look around.

Those super bright LEDs are blinding at night......if they can't see your regular tail lights, they're going to hit you anyway !

The pattern is these guys spent way to much on their lights, so to feel better they make sure everyone else buys em too!

I did the smoke LED from Custom Dynamics, bright as all get out, plug-n-play, 1/2 the price. You can check out my YouTube video and Picts if ya want.
