I have the Radiantz rear LED bulbs on my 12 Street Glide. They are almost too bright. Huge increase in rear visability. They were inexpensive (+/- $50), 5 minute plug and play. Did not need to add any type of equalizer.
I love the clean look of the rear fender without the center stop light, but as your friend noted, more light is better than less.
You can also get a brighter fender tip tri-light that also lights up more when the brake is pressed. Pretty cool.
LED's are very eye catching.

Do you have a part number and is it just a led buld that you purchased?

I have the Custom Dynamics LED's, just this weekend a buddy was riding behind me and commented how bright they were, he thought my brake lights were on all the time.
I might add Plasma's sometime.
I do like the aux light Drukanfu mentioned...

I added the HD auxiliary brake/running light and Custom Dynamics red LED R/B/T bulbs & load equalizer.

although I very seldom ride after dark, I did have a guy tell me once that 'from a distance' he thought my tail lights were on a bigger vehicle and that he was much further away (he was actually just about on top of me) than he was. Fortunately he had the presence of mind and enough road to pull along side rather than run me over.
I added one of the brake modules that flashes 3 times, holds and repeats. Still get nervous sitting at stop signs/lights but it's better than it was.
I do like the 'clean' look of the Street Glide, but strictly from a survival perspective, I'm leaning towards a more lights is better philosopy.
