    Dorsey is correct. My lights are fine at night and the blue dots show up nicely. It's daylight that is the problem. I have '48 Ford lights in the roadster with glass lenses and they are really bright. Both have 1157 bulbs...

    I have to run super bright 1157's in the Harley tail light. It has a thick glass lens on the tombstone tail light, that cars can't seem to see, when I'm braking during the daylight. I tried a led bulb that cost 29 bucks for a replacement, but same,problem, so now I just use the super brights, and carry a spare as the vibration of the softtail seems to eat bulbs!
