LED brake/tail light

I was thinking of replacing the stock tail/brake light with the LED light. I was playing around with them on a display at a dealership, and it looked a whole lot brighter, both with the brake on or off. Does anyone have one of these? How do you like it?

I have the Kuryakyn Panacea system on the back of my bike. My wife complains that they are bright as heck even with sunglasses on.

I have the LED's mounted under my rear fender. The turn signals are integrated into the strip. They are very bright!

Have the Brightass taillight on the rear and H-D LED HL w/ LED spots in the front.
Everyone says they can really see me.
That's the important part!

Custom dynamics is good too. Kuryakyn panacea sucks!

I have the Custom Dynamics on my 09 ultra classic. Brake and turn front and back. Bought all lenses in smoke and slanted. Very bright and look good. I also bought the flashing brake light, brake run turn, and headlight modulator. All work really well.

The BrightAss tail light is the first money I spent on my SG. I put one on my WG and it was the most practical money I've spent. Both were set up to flash before staying on. If the bastards don't see me now they must be in a coma, passed out, or dead.
