Default LED tail light bulbs

Is anyone running LED tail/brake light bulbs in their baggers?? Which ones? Are they that much better than a stock 1157? I would like to get as bright as I can so that cages might see it and look up from texting...

I took the tail/brake light out of my 07 SG... took it to AutoZone and bought the LED match and it worked great! alot brighter than the stock lamp (had the smoked cover so needed the extra red light) You have to buy in pairs and they were approx $18 for the pair. Sell the other to a buddy who wants the same LED.

Well, I spent more. Probably to much but on 07 I had I went with kuryakyn. Both turn signals and brake light work as a running light. Plus when you hit the brake they flash three times then stay on. On my 10 roadking I have the HD brake light kit with all three as running lights. Plus have the main brake light as led from HD. On my tour pak I have the HD spoiler that has LED in it and also works as running light and brightens when brakes are applied.

I bought the HD LED tail/brake light for my RG...yes it was a bit pricey but it was plug-n-go and is fairly bright.

I bought and installed the Hoglite. Its mounted on the underside of the tourpac. Nice 3rd brake light. I dont have an Ultra with the lights so thats what I did. Im getting another Hoglite to put on the lid of my trailer too.
