Went with the Bright *** lights, LED tail lights from Cusom Dynamics and the HD Run, turn brake module. It is REALLY bright back there now and was a simple installation.

Rewire HD module
Biketronics makes a module that does just this. No mod required. They call it the Tailstopper. Makes a huge difference when you hit the brakes. One running light. Three brake lights. It's vary obvious you are on the brake. I love it and drive in Houston traffic every day. Wouldn't have anything else.

i bought the b.a.l. and i'm very impressed with it. people don't tend to creep up on me while i'm at a stoplight anymore. it's aptly named the "bright *** light" this taillight is awesome, and there are about 25 or so different flash or intensity patterns that are available. it comes with a very strong magnet which you place near the upper right corner of the taillight and there's a microprocessor in the taillight housing that cycles through the patterns. you choose the one you like, and put the magnet away. none of this microprocessor is visible at all. just a red or smoked flat or laydown, your choice when you buy it. they go for if i remember right, 200 bucks. the peace of mind that people will see you, was worth it to me. matter of fact, right after getting the one for my harley, i found a set of four similar led taillights that are almost as bright for my c-5 series corvette, and the set of four cost me $250. go figure. would i get the b.a.l. again? you bet, it's the best thing you can do for safety in my opinion. i also have had the turn signal module and red lenses for the turn signals, which also increases your visibility a lot too, and that's a cheap mod. ride safe guys, the cagers are out texting this spring.

Wish I would have known more a couple of years ago. I actually had forgotten about this module since I already had the money sunk in the HD one and could mod it for free.

I got the entire rear light set up from Badlands last winter (all LED's and controller) and you would have to be either dead or texting to not see them, they honestly leave you seeing spots if you look directly at them with the brakes on.

I bought the Kury LED laydown taillight last year and installed it on my Ultra. Yeah it was brighter but pretty disappointing. I was expecting a lot more. I wish I could get my money back now and buy the BAL.

2 friends of mine have the kury. The left side went out on one guy's and the right side went out on the other guy's. Right after the warranty went out, of course. I am going with the bal and then a badlands run, turn, brake with the led turn signals.
