Default BrightAssLights or Custom Dynamics LED Taillight?

I still can't make up my mind on which new taillight to get. I've owned the Harley one but I don't want to go that route again because I don't really care for the looks. I know the one made by Custom Dynamics carries a lifetime warranty on the LED's and is a lot cheaper but I'm afraid it's still just junk made in Taiwan or something. For those of you who own/owned either how is the build quality for either light?

If you are going to spend that much, you should spend a little more and get the Cycle Visions eliminator. It is extremely bright and integrates signals and brake light into 1. I love mine. It is very easy to see day or night, and the brake light flashes when you hit the brakes as well. I love mine. No more clunky looking brake light. Smooth and sleek.

Just when you think you know what you want along comes something else to complicate things.

I have the smoked version BAL-3ST from Brightasslights and goto say this is the best on the market i've seen and it's made in the USA.

Drew, I've actually had my eye on the Cycle Visions one but was unsure of how bright it was. From your pics it looks like it puts off way more light than I expected. Was it hard to wire up the turn signals, I've never done anything like that before?

It comes with signals integrates so I took my signals off. It is a very simple plug and play unit. An hour is plenty of time for the install. It is more work taking off the old tahn putting this on. Also, in daylight this thing is still VERY bright.
