I got the Custom Dynamics clear LED lay down tailliight. It is super bright but pretty costly. Well worth the money in my opinion...

A radiantz LED with either a walters workshop lens or a custom dynamics lens.

You didn't need to bump this post.

I got one from J&P. Good unit, not pricey.

I recently switched from the Kuryakyn smoke laydown to the Radiantz smoke laydown because I had read so many rave reviews of how bright the Rad units are (the Rad was well over $100)

I can't say I'm overly impressed however, Rad customer service is awful (the part took just shy of a month to come with no explanation whatever on their part + there was a wire broken off when I opened the undamaged factory packaging). Not only that, the Rad sticks out quite a bit farther so the Kuryakyn part is better looking IMHO.

The real kick in the butt however is, the Rad doesn't even look any brighter. The Rad may measure a little brighter, but it sure doesn't look any brighter to me. If I had it to do over, I would definitely stick with the K unit & that's what I will recommend to other people.

HD just came out with a LED Tail Lamp (not a laydown thou) for the SG. I just ordered the Smoked Lens with Black Housing (68118-08) from Chicago HDon-line. It was a special order so won't have it for a couple of weeks, at least. The display in the local stealer-ship was impressive.

I have the Street Magic from Custom Dynamics. Has a 48 LED cluster inside. Plenty bright enough.

This is from about 50+ feet back in just run mode. Brake mode is alot brighter.
