As far as using a DDR or DS500 at night, these taillights are so bright that you have to turn them way down or you ARE going to blind someone. As I mentioned before, the DDR can't be turned down at all on flash mode, but the DS500 can.
For those who haven't seen this thread in A&S, here's some Real Serious Taillights spotted by Redflea:

Does anyone make a red lens for the Magicshine? They make the wide angle lens, and having a red lens should give you more illumination than most of the blinkies out there. Adding more of these on the rear would be easier to do now with the cheap clones, and would give you the option of using one on the front for the way home if you needed more light there.
