Sounds like you might be talking about accent lighting. If that's the case, I am very happy with my Custom Dynamics kit. Easy install, reliable, warranty... You might also want to check out Florida Joe's. Was about to order those when I bought mine. CD helped me with another problem, so I bought my accent lighting from them.
If your not talking accent lighting, I haven't done my front yet because I don't want to pay the price - but my back end is all Custom Dynamics. Genesis II tail light, turn signals, and tour pack lights. BRIGHT! I couldn't be happier.

I have the BAL LED tail light and the Truck lite (TL) LED Headlight and passing lights. Turns are still stock.
I am very happy with my LEDs, BAL is great for rear safety and the LEDs in the front are very visable in daylight as well as night time.

A harley passed me comming home this past friday and the lights on the back were super,, i followed him to the gas station and had to ask him what lights those were,,,he said they were HD led's,,,this was the front turn and rear tail stop and turn and the turn signals were also running lights,, those are the ones i am getting,,, he also said they are simply plug and play,,,
Another member posted this picture in another thread on this topic. the "Before" picture shows the stock setup. Even though it is much closer, it is less visible than the after picture of the other member's Dad's bike with the HD LED's. (To the guy who posted the picture originally, sorry to borrow it. I tried to take before and after photos of my bike but they didn't show the difference as well as your photo.)

I have the Truck-lite head light and passing lamps and Custom Dynamics tail light, blinkers and front fender marker. All were simple plug and play (though the passing lamps were a slight PITA). I think they make me more visible to other drivers both day and night, light up the road better for me at night and look pretty cool. Throw in that the last forever and draw less juice and it was a no brainer to me. I'm quite happy with it all.

Was at Strugis last summer got behind my group at nite, oh I'd say a mile or so, and on I-90 you can see for miles, well they knew where I was with that distance.
When we got together again, they were amazed.
(quote from the other riders),We could tell it was you because your lights were bright white, not the yellow color the other harleys have.
Cagers kill us everyday, there is no guarantee for safety, but it's just another tool in your safety box to protect ourselves.
I also have LEDS in the rear too!

THANK YOU! I was on the fence about doing LED's throughout the bike, this just moved to the top of my list. That photo proved it for me.
+1 on the H-D LED's. So far I am satisfied with the stock headlights and passing lights on the front of my RKC, but the stock single rear tail light and the turn only signals on the back were very anemic. I replaced all the rear lights with the H-D LED's. That converted the turn signals to additional running lights and additional brake lights, tripling the lights in each of those functions. And they are MUCH brighter than stock. One of my fears, that many on this forum have realized, is being rear ended at an intersection and these lights will make me much more visible.

I am looking at the custom dynamics website and am slightly confused. Is there not some sort of kit or anything?
It looks as if they have like 6 different kinds of LED accent lights and I'm not sure what I'm looking at exactly.
