Default whether or not to buy the LED tail light?

I did see some posts of people saying that they bought the LED tail light unit, but I have not seen anyone put up pictures of how it looks on the f4i. The pics that would be most beneficial for me are the one taken during the night.
Im taking about this unit.........





If anyone has a link or a pic that would be awesome........

I have this tailight on my bike, just installed it a couple of weeks ago. Lights are bright enough for day and night riding. The model I have has integraded turn signals which work well, it also has a license plate light feature, a row of white L.E.D's that shine down onto the licence plate light. This feature sucked. It made the whole tailight have a white glow from behind, so I painted them black. problem solved. Looks killer. I am waiting on a relay to slow down the taillight from flashing so fast. The tail section is apart and I am expecting the relay any day. I will post some pics when I'm done.

wait so there is something that you can do to where when you press the front/rear brake the brake light automatically flashes? i just do it manually as it is right now but would love a feature like that. Anyone got any links to it? (new rider so dont know much)

im sure they have some thing like that, but F4iguy was probably referring to the turning signals in that unit. that tail light has both brake lights and signal light and i heard before that the signal light blink way too fast.

well whoever buys it let us know how the install, and funtionality of the tail light is. I want an intergrated one but want a good one.

O.k. so here are some pics of my bike with the tailight installed. To be completely honest the pictures don't do it justice. The light is quite bright and turn signals do not flash too quickly if you purchase a resistor pack to wire with the tailight. These are the best pictures I was able to take before my battery died. lol
