Help with LED lighting.......

It has settings for incandesent or stock type lamps and LED lamps, simply because you cannot turn on incandesent bulbs as fast as you can led.
It connects under the seat in line with the harness that goes to the real fender lights. Works best with LED tail lights. Works really good.
Probably gonna rile up some folks here but this is just my opinion.
The Panacea stuff is really nice, I like the way they look and operate. My good friend has a set up like that on the back of his 06 ultra and I have looked at the back of his bike for probably 10 thousand of miles at least.
The turn signals and brake light use a few LED's for the RED running/brake light/ flashing function and a few different AMBER LED's for the turn signals through red lenses. So it seems you are cutting the number of LEDs on your running/brake flashing lights and fewer LED's for the turn signals...and running amber LED's through a red lense cuts back on the brightness also in my opinion.
Like I said I really like the look of the panacea stuff, but I choose to go with all RED LED's with RED lenses in my tail light, thus it is brighter and all AMBER LEDS for my turn signals through clear lenses for my turn signals. Amber LED's through Amber turn signal covers would produce the about the same brightness, and both are better than amber LED's through red lenses.
Smoke lenses? They look cool but it don't make sense to me to upgrade the systems to bright LEDs only to decrease the brightness with a smoke lense.
Amber rear turn signals have been proven through studies to be more visible in traffic, so another reason I stayed with the amber color.
I also like to control the strobe/flash pattern of my brake light flash.
I figure with the tour-pak lights there should be enough RED running lights on the back of the bike to be well seen without the need of using my turn signals as RED running lights.
The dual density LED rear fender tip light adds to the brake light function RED LED's with RED lenses and the RED 45 LED 1157 bulbs added to the Tourpak finished it all off, especially when I connected the brake function to the strobe unit, so it strobes the same as the fender brake light. This took some wiring, but not much at all.
The Bright *** Light tail light is a great product also, but only as a stand alone unit. I do not think you would want dual strobe patterns on the back of a bike.
The Laws in some states are against the GLAIRING or flashing lights on the rear of a vehicle if it is not a emergency vehicle and I may get a ticket one day but, I had rather the better chance of being seen to possibly avoid a rear end collision so I will take my chances. Awareness is your #1 defense. Most areas do not enforce these laws just like the Ape hanger bars. I think if the LEO is half way decent, which a lot of them are, I think I could talk him into letting me swap the pattern to get out of the ticket, or convince him of why I am running a GLAIRING brake light. SAFETY MAN...Rider SAFETY.
Use the strobe unit at your own risk.
