THE BRAKE LIGHT SPINNER
The BRAKE LIGHT SPINNER is a unique direct replacement for your 1157 (European P21/5w) bulb with FOURTEEN BRIGHT RED LED LIGHTS that SPIN when your lights are on and FLASH when you apply your BRAKES.

The BRAKE LIGHT SPINNER is AWESOME and you will LOVE the way it looks as your riding down the road. Other vehicles will SEE YOU BETTER !! Works well with Clear, Red or Amber Lenses.

The Brake Light Spinner with 12 LED LIGHTS will last up to 10 times longer, stays cooler and use less power than a normal incandescent bulb. The BRAKE LIGHT SPINNER installs in seconds without any special wiring or modifications !!

The BRAKE LIGHT SPINNER replaces any 1157 (or P21 Euro) Tail Light, Running Light, Brake Light or Turn Signal Light.

ALL THAT FOR JUST $15. i HAVENT TRYED ONE YET BUT I JUST ORDERED IT. I GUESS IT IS AS SIMPLE AS CHANGEING A LIGHT BULB. Just cut and paste the web site, or just go to ebat motors.

The draw back to LED's , they are very bright when viewed straight on, but are hard to see from the side or an angle. I'll stick with old fashioned bulbs that can be seen from most directions. With only a single light on the back, I want it seen as soon as possible, no matter what the angle.

That used to be true, but now they make wide-angle LEDs as well. They still don't have quite the viewing angle of a standard incandescent bulb, but they're miles better than the older LEDs. I HAD a link to a topic on here about them, but it appears changing message board programs has led to that link becoming invalid. I'll repost with a link if I can find it...

Cobra, are you a distributor/reseller or just enthousiastic about those lights ?

yep LED are way brighter in daylight then regular bulbs and I even saw some on an 18 wheeler trailer the other day. I'm trying to adapt some red LEDs from signal dynamic onto my brake lights to increase the red from the rear and also a mini bar to illuminate my plate.

I already have some of thier LEDs in my undertail lighting up my back tire and swing arms. And no I don't work for the company.
