have been riding a lot around the city over the last few days in this torrential rain we're having and noticed a great deal of bikes are having really dull lights @ the back. blinkers are hardly visible, brake light glowing not all that much brighter than a tail lights.
considering a great deal of cars with fogged up windows (especially bike enemy no1 - cabs) i would be worried if my rear wasn't glowing (no pun intended)

so i went to the garage and took few shots without the flash and was wondering how does it compare with what you, guys, have
any suggestions for improvement greatly appreciated

Looks good to me Rob! 

I think you have some of the brightest tail lights blinkers out there...

Don't think you an tell from a photo how bright they are as you'll get flare depending on camera settings, (some of the camera jockeys will probably explain the technicalities) the only proper way to tell will be at night by eye. If they look bright enough they probably are (if that makes sense  )

I changed my Tail light to the Clear Alternatives Smoked Lens with the LED board and my Wife thought it was to bright, Then I hit the brakes!! But as I explained to her she has 3 tail lights on her Corolla, I have one so that Bastard needs to stand out, I just changed the Indicators to the CLear Alternatives Smoked Lenses with the brighter bulbs and they seem brighter than OEM.

I don't think you could go any brighter.   

Melvin, your's are far brighter than mine... - Chris
