Default Can someone help us here in the US?

There are a few of us in the USA that would like a certain part that is only available in Europe. Not sure is this is ok with the mods but I'm giving it a go. Is there anyone who would be able to assist me and possibly other in getting these 2 items?

Hello Adam, I can help you with those parts. DON'T BUY THEM!
for one thing, they are too expensive for what you get. It's your money, but just trying to help you out. 2nd, but almost first, is those lights are crap! I install them a lot and have a 50/50 chance of the wires breaking off and no chance of fixing them. we send them back but for you, that would probably be, cost prohibitive, shipping and all. as a starter have a look here. http://shop.thunderbike.de/en/Thunde.../Turn-Signals/
end up costing the same, but higher quality! I dont work there, they are actually a competitor , but also a parts supplier of mine.

Thanks for the heads up. That really sucks. I wonder if there is another way of using the housing with some different LEDs?

maybe, you'd have to have the housings then take measurements or take them to an electronic shop somewhere. There are a number of way of changing your front turn signals, you can buy or make a bracket and then add any Led blinker that is for a side mount.

I'm assuming the turn signals at the link you listed are higher quality? Also I was told by a vendor that lights like this are not able to be used as a running light is that correct?

I like the looks of these better. I have a 2016 Slim S. Do you think this would work for my bike even tho it is not listed?

yeah, they make theirs in house. I was thinking about that as well. it has just turn signal wire and the ground wire. In Europe, we are not allowed to have orange running lights. Do you have to have them in the states? I don't know for sure, but I actually like the bikes better without the orange lights on all the time. I finally got used to it. LOL, but it makes them look "cleaner" without them.
As far as fitment, I'd have to look and ask. which is not so easy as normal since I am off work right now (broken foot). I can find out for you, for sure, just let me know.

I have the same preference as well. I wouldn't be using them as a running light but others may. There's a few people interested in this style in the Softail Slim threads. If you could find out if these would work I'd appreciate it.

If they will fit and work just as turn signals. Not worried about running lights. I am pretty much going to be the guinea pig to try these out so only need one for now until we are sure they work.
