What I failed to post a month ago
Well I thought I was done but decided to add a few more items to the wife's bike.
Custom Dynamics Street Magic LEDs in the tail lights and front blinkers.
The Nightster comes stock with red lenses.
Last year I changed them out for smoked out and couldn't find red 1157 bulbs locally. Tried some reds off ebay and they sucked, so ended up with the red "socks" over bulb.
They function ok but look like poo
So lets make the change. Now with these newer electronics you have to put in a load equalizer, due to the less draw that the LED lights pull. So a trust worthy version is
BadLands. More specifically the 3rd version specifically for the XL.
So here's what we have to install
Pull the seat and locate this harness plug
Unplug and run the equalizer inline
Tuck in and push wires back into place
Pop the lens off with a flat screwdriver
Pull the bulb out
Plug in and twist into place with a screwdriver, just as you would with the bulb
Turn the LED board to spool the wire to allow the board to fit, use the lens to hold them in place. Takes 2 hands.
BAM
Repeat on other tail light.
The fronts also came with the orange lenses, that I replaced with smoked and orange bulbs
These looked fine and worked good. However, if you do the rear, got to do the front to keep up the look.
In goes the LED
BAM
