Default LED Upgrade

I decided I wanted LED lights, I first added custom dymanics turn signals all round.
I was already using a 100w headlamp buib and it made my riding lights look yellow in comparison. I had decided I was going with a Trucklite phase 7 as I prefer the styling and price. However I was undecided what to do about my riding lights.
I then say a thread on here and someone mentioned about LED buibs to replace the existing ones, they was $50 a pair.
I decided to bite the bullet and order them.
What do you think?

Original 100w headlamp with LED bulbs


Trucklite off-- never seen a black headlamp before


Trucklite with LED bulbs


Can't wait to take a ride at night ��

In October 2013 I put my baby (2012 FLSTC) down when I had a car pulled out in front of me. Of course I heard "I did not see you"...
Now I refuse to be missed.
So I put Custom Dynamics LED on all break and turn signals. MUCH Brighter and they pulse.
Then Kuryakyn Phase 7 (LED) Headlight and passing lights. (Very Bright)

Bike is almost together but still waiting on a few small parts AND THE WEATHER in Kentucky.

I have Custom Dynamics r/s/t LED lights and a Daymaker. I wish I had a fender mounted LED stoplight too but my bike didn't come with one. Just the two on both sides of it.

I have the Truck Lite headlight and love it. Wanted the passing lamps the same but ended up with Kury (don't order crap online when drinking), Still big improvement. BAL on the rear fender gets plenty of attention. Yes, takes riding at night to a whole new level.

Did you see the new led tail light CD has ? Looks pretty good thinking about putting one on my street glide

Are these LEDs direct replacement of the stock bulbs of the passing lights? If yes, could you please share where you got them? The Custom Dynamics Sun Spots for the passing lights are about $120 each.

I have Custom Dynamics LEDs front and rear, plus a Daymaker. I'm very pleased by the difference over stock lighting. I plan to add a set of Rugid Industries LED driving lights on the engine guard, just because more light is "more better"

Oh sure. The problem is, a Blackline never had a place for one. Even if I could mount it on the fender, it's wiring it that I can't do. I'd be happy if it just lit up and didn't "stop". I'm just not good with wiring.
