Yes, I installed the LED bulb that has the fan and ballast built-in to it. It fit fine in the stock housing and the aftermarket reflector I bought.
About the LED bulb...here's some (blurry again...can't figure out why!) pictures. The 'side' view pictures aren't showing a lot because it's an flat, empty field so nothing to reflect back to show it's nice and bright. I have to admit, that I don't think this after-market reflector (or it's possibly the bulb - I'll find out tomorrow when I try the bulb in the stock reflector) is shining to the side any better than the stock. The bulb itself is doing fantastic as you can see in the pics - nice *bright* white light.
Tomorrow night I'll take the bulb out of this after-market reflector and put it in my stock reflector and take some pictures and see if it does any better or worse with this LED bulb.
I do like the bulb though, this kinda bright at night is really lighting things up in front of me extremely nicely. I still haven't actually ridden yet, but probably tomorrow night I will and see how it does for riding instead of just sitting and looking down the road.

Dang it!!!! I had a feeling this was going to happen. I have not installed mine yet and will be interested in the manufacturer's fix on this. Lit idiot lights for no good reason are a huge pet peeve.

Ordered one after reading this thread last week.Small plug for Fuel Moto,they ship FAST! I installed this light on a 13 wide glide and no dash lights lit up,I was expecting this issue and could live with it but it didn't happen.
