This is the BAL in run mode.


And in brake mode.
Are those BAL turnsignals as well? Thanks.

I just went to the dealer for a primary gasket and left with one of the BAL tail lights.

No those are Radiantz LED clusters which BTW I do not recommend. They are bright and work good but are prone to having LEDs go out. Had three different ones lose lights including the one in my pics. And Radiantz customer service, when having to deal with warranty replacement, for lack of a better word sucks.

I've heard that LED lights are only good straight on, but diminish greatly at an angle. Can anyone give their experience here?

I've been looking at the brightasslights and today I decided to order them after seeing this thread and the many others all saying good things. I have not read a negative besides the price and that seems to be only from peope that don't own it, others say it was worth the cost.

When I bought my RKC used it had the Kuryakyn LED on it.I thought it was bright,brighter than the stock ones I compared it to.

After 1.5 years I spotted a BAL on display at the dealership.Checked it out....

After I was able to see again,I ordered one.

That was 2 months ago.I noticed people staying further back while rolling an stopped within the first ride after installation.

Installation is about 3 minutes,if you take it slow.

There really isn't any comparision between the two.

To anyone thinking about the BAL. I highly recommend getting their security screws. They use a special driver bit that makes the light impossible to get off without. Just $10 of insurance to save a $200 light.

One of a few quotes today that made me laugh out loud.

Considering the depressing weather and the fact that it's nearly November, I can use it...

BAL over KA for certain.
Add with the run/turn/brake conversion and you'll get seen, for sure.
BAL are nothing less than bright.
