The LEDs look awesome I think for the 2014 tour-paks.

It kinda sucks that the 2013 model years and older models cost more for the lights, speaker pods, etc.

More lights on the 6:00 is always a plus!!! Your Bike looks great with them bight azz lights.

Your pics have convinced me to order these. Thanks!
No flash, Steady Run, Steady Brake, and timed flash with blinker matching tourpack and front signals. I assume the "module" is for CANBUS compliance, without it I would venture to guess a DTC might get set for the BCM due to changes in load.

I was seriously considering doing the CD Red/Yellow Plasma rods initially. I love the way they look, and they are a less expensive option. However, like you said, the side view is obscured by the saddle bags and my main intention for added lighting was for visability. Down here in Florida, the blue hairs are everywhere and as a daily rider I've have too many close calls to count! NEED MOAR LIGHTS!!!121!@!!

That's what I assumed, JT - but I don't think the ad copy-writer knew the difference between "module" and "modulator" <lol>

I'm in Florida as well. Make sure you get a Bright *** Taillight to add more light. I'm going to add these when I get the quick release kit for the tour pack, since it all comes together.

Does it appear to modulate brightness (like between brake on and brake off) by an extremely fast flashing? I mean really fast, like 50 times a second, like the caddy tail lights.

Photos for those with Daytona Blue looking to see how they appear.

Just installed them on my bike. My only hesitation is will the tape that holds them on really hold well. When I remove the bags I tend to carry the bag with one hand on the light itself and maybe I should stop doing that. Any idea on how strong that tape is?

Sorry not a fan. Them holes along the fender really need to changed too. That's where the lights need to be, not stuck on the bags imho.

As much as I agree with you, they won't ever make them for there. I didn't like the look of these lights at first, but after looking at anything that will go in the fender area, I've come to find it is impossible to put lights there and still be road legal. That's why Moco went with the bag lights.

I'm looking at getting the smoked lights. We'll see.

I would stop carrying your bags with one hand like that unless you want to drop them. I already replaced the lower portion of one of my bags after dropping it off the mounting rail. 8" to the ground and it did a job on the corner of the bag. I ALWAYS have my thick Craftsman floor mat below them when I take them off now. $270 lesson learned quickly.

That 3M tape is strong as hell but it's met to hold the lights on the bags, not the bags on the lights.
