Default LED tail lights with intigrated turn signals

What do you guys think of the tail lights with the intigrated turn signals?

So far my bike is stock and Im trying to decide what to do. How visible are the turn signals are from behind? I live in a college town with a lot of bad drivers and I want to make sure they can see me. So far I have left the rear fender intact because of the visibilty.

Im thinking of installing the LED rear tail light with signals and an undertail with signals. Id hate to have some dumb kid hit me from behind because they wernt paying attention.

I have one on my bike and so do alot of the people I ride with. they are not as visible as the stock ones, but they are visible. the only time I've ever had an issue seeing them is if the sun is behind you when its getting close to the sun setting. but then again, I can't really see car tailights then either.

Also, when your brake is applied, the blinker is less visible, so I always turn on my blinker a good distance before I plan on turning.

I;m running the clear alternatives one. Also, I would suggest NOT getting a regulator to slow the blinking down. LEDs will blink pretty fast compared to your stock lights, but I feel the faster blinking is easier to see than the slow blink.

Im not sure I would install both types of blinkers. If the driver behind you doesnt see the led integrated because they weren't paying attention, the driver probably wouldnt see another set of them either. In all honesty, if your going to install shorter style blinkers anyway, you might as well spend the money on some really bright ones and not even bother with the integrated one. You would be better off having the full brake light and external blinkers. But for looks, the integrated by itself does a decent job.
