Default LED lights

I know there are mixed reviews regarding whether or not you should put LED on a bike.

Let's just say, hypothetically, one were going to put LED on their Road King in preparation for bike week coming up.

Which is the best and easist kit to install?

BrightAss Tail Light. All bikes should come with them. More if possible, but this would be a great start.

You talking head lights and tail lights, or "accent" lighting?

I have and have put Boogey lights on several bikes. I like that their not pods but strips that can be cut to length. Lifetime guarentee. Pretty fun project too.

I put all HD LED on my bike. Turn signals are a bit time consuming to install. Maybe Kuryakyn's Panacea next time for easier installation but with my set up (headlights, aux. lights, turn and brake lights), I am very happy.

What LED? Where installed? Headlamp, turn signal, etc.?

LED headlamps are great for these ageing eyes.As far as the other lights go, to much light action gets the cagers nerves is one thought and like the stealth look of the classic.Just not sold on replaceing other lights

HD LED spots and Truck lite LED head light was the best combo for me - maybe a beer and a half install.
