Default Brightest LED turn signals

I want to put LED turn signals on my FLHTC front and back. The question I have is, who's are brighter during the day:
"Radiantz Drugz 86" or Custom Dynamics "H-D Dynamic Ringz™ FLAT STYLE Turn Signal LED Inserts"

I'm sure there are pros and cons on both but what is your opinion.

Thanks
Steve

Custom Dynamics all the way. Super bright in the day and night. Lifetime warranty and excellent customer service. I have used Radiantz in the past and had to deal with them for warranty issues. It was a less than pleasant or easy experience. Very long story that I won't even get into again.

My money goes to Custom Dynamics.

I've never used Radiantz, so I can't comment on them. But, before riding started this spring, I put in Custom Dynamics LED turns (run/turn/brake in rear), taillight, and taillight flasher module. All are under smoke lenses. They are all BRIGHT, and I will say that with the flashing taillight, cagers seem to be giving me more space in the rear - not that I let my guard down any. After one small hiccup (wrong load stabilizer sent), one of the ladies in Customer Service went out of her way to get the right one to me quickly for a scheduled ride. CD will always have my business!

I have an entire Badlands LED set up on my King and Badlands ships with the Radiantz LEDs. I've been very happy with them. The only reason I didn't go with CD was because their RBT module and equalizer are two separate units whereas Badlands is one unit. I cared more about that than I did what specific LEDs were in the kit. I've been very happy with the Radiantz though.....

Was thinking that but seems like a pretty low production number. Pretty sweet to have something that limited. Even distributed evenly that is only less than 10 per state. Not much of a chance of seeing your same bike on the road.

I put the H-D LED turn signals on my Ultra. No need for extra load equalizers or separate run/turn/brake modules - the rear operate as run/turn/brake, and as will all LED's they are very bright.
