Default LED tail lights Sinister or Native??

Well I have decided on a sinister rear fender and stretched bag combo but im not sure about there jaded oval LED tail lights. They look really small and I dont know if they will be visible enough during the day. I was looking into getting a 7 3/8" native custom baggers top mount LED light, there bigger but I dont know if its gonna be any brighter. Anyone using either of these lights? and have any pictures of them installed??

I have the sinister bag and fender set up with the jaded pointed lights. Here's my take. The sinister are 6 3/4" long double row with 32 led's ea. the native custom 8" Would have about 38 led's ea. if its double row. The 7 3/8" would have about 34. Either one your going to have to cut the slots in the fender to accommodate the lenses. The wiring on the sinisters consist of 4 leads run, turn, brake and ground. I ran a badlands module, so instead of one row for turn one row for brake both rows light all the time and the module controls the light functions so they are as bright as possible. I would recomend the same. As far as which ones are brighter your probably splitting hairs if both are wired the same way. I would go for which one looks better to you. I am getting the bike out tommrow to get some estimates on my paint scheme, I will shoot some pictures during the daylight hours.

ericl do both rows do dual functions? are both rows running lights and brake/turn or is only one row running and both rows brake/turn? I have a 2012 glide and my lights are brake turn together stock so hopefully I can wire the lights to the stock harness with no module.
