I had the Trailblazers on my ST.  I loved that they flashed when I
braked.  But, they seem to be rather fragile.  The two that were
on my crashed ST quit working altogether.  The replacements/spares
I put on my new bike lasted 6 months before one just quit working and
the other one broke as I was trying to reset it in the plug.

So, my experience is that they work great, but they expensive to replace
every 6-12 months.

Thanks for the info, Kevin.  I was afraid of that.  It seemed like the bulb
might be fragile.

I sent an email to the sales guy at Kisan asking about the bulb life and
whether or not they had any plans to use LEDs.  He sort of confirmed that
the bulbs are fragile, and that "We have not found LED'S that will do the
job as well as Halogen, and you have to remember, if the LED's start to
fail, you can't replace the individually."  I take that to mean that the
product is what it is, and I shouldn't wait for an LED-based version.

The search continues...if anybody comes across an LED/modulator taillight
combo, let me know.

Thanks,
  - Dave
