Default ??? led ???

Is there LED tailights and turn signals availible that glow? I don't like it when you can see the individual led's. What I'm looking for is like Cadillac and Lincoln tailights.

the characteristic of leds is bright "points" of light

lenses can be used to diffuse the light, but I don't know if anyone os doing that effectively yet

I know the new Cadillac lights use clear plastic tubes inside, similar to fiber optics under the lens, with a very bright led in the back of the light housing.

I haven't seen any bike tail lights with that design.

Sounds as if Cadillac and Lincoln engineers have time on their hands! Most other manufacturers have lights with lots of bright dots.

Heldane, sounds as if you have an opportunity to develop a custom light for us!

leds are not always a plus
show bike? sure.
but riding them around ****s them up
their voltage issues, water, vibration, if the housings are led specific good luck fixing it on the road, they are expensive still...
I have full run of lights if you need em
1157a 1157r 1156r 1156a 1157 1156 and fender tip leds too.
lot of money invested to just yank them all out.

I ran leds all thru my bagger they have all been replaced with american made incandescents.
150 dollars worth of wisdom.
all lighting issues dissolved .

this was over a two year period and 60,000 miles
good luck
