I tried searching and although I'm sure this has been covered before, couldn't find what I was looking for. Im wanting to add an LED brake light with integrated turn signals. I found this one here:

I read that a few people had to have them replaced, but most seemed to like them. Any input? Thanks!

Had that one and the $25.00 one from ebay (be careful as there is a non integrated one on ebay for about the same price and its from China rather than California)...both work and install in minutes. The only difference between the two, is the Motodynamic blinks 3 times before your brake light comes on...it draws a little more attention to the fact that you are braking. Is it worth the @$50.00 difference? your call.

I have also installed it and it works great.

I will say this though; most people say that you will need resistors if and only if you are also running front LED turn signals. This is required to account for the lower draw of the front LEDs vs. the stock incandescent bulbs, resulting in a fast flash.

When I installed some LEDs in front along with the integrated motodynamics in the back, I did not need resistors for some reason ??? . Also, the rear signals do not work if the bike is not running, which is normal for some models.

I got the smoked version. Great product, and I highly recommend it!

It's cool just wish it came in a stock red color.... Clear looks sorta "rice" IMO and I dont want smoked although it looks good.

Well, Moto Dynamics gets a "Holy shit that was fast shipping" thumbs up. Install tonight!

I highly recommend heat shrinking all connections, that area gets a lot of gunk, funk, and general debris in it. My old CA unit would short sometimes with just e-tape for protection in the rain, my Moto Dynamics hasn't made a peep.

I was debating about shrink wrapping the connections, so I guess I'll definitely do that now. Unfortunately, when I opened the package this evening, I found a a loose screw rattling around inside the housing and the LED circuit board is loose  :-[ Just sent them an email to get a replacemnt out to me. Maybe I'll get it installed next week.

I had a warranty issue with my first one as well, but they handled it very well. I'm sure you'll have now worries there.
