Default Another LED HL, Turn signal question 2014 SGS

Sorry folks and I am expecting some flamage for asking what I know is covered all over this forum. I just can't find it all in one place.

2014 SGS. I want to make 3 changeouts of lights to LED.

1. HD Daymaker Projector headlight (I've read a bunch about the Kury and others and know it's overpriced, but am going with it anyway)
2. Custom Dynamics rear clusters for turn/running/brake (SGs have no taillight)
3. CD clusters front

I get that the Daymaker is plug and play, although I think I need a harness/connector, not sure). I know that the clusters are plug and play simple replacements if you do either front or rear.

A. Do I need a controller for the clusters if I'm doing front and rear, if I'm not doing plasmas or adding a taillight?
B. Does it matter if I use the single color clusters or the duals?
C. Since I'm changing a reducing consumption, is there a reprogramming necessary?

Thanks and if I missed a post that actually had the same requirements as I'm seeking, please shoot me the link.

Nice thing about the new bikes is that you don't need a controller. When you do the CD LED turn signals, you just run the hazards to program them.

Like he said and you will need a harness for the headlight (about $20). FYI - you can buy the exact same light without the little Bar and Shield on it and save a few hundred. It is made by JW Speaker. The EVO 2 is IMO the best LED on the market right now. You still won't need a controller even if you add the Plasma Rods. Good luck!

Maybe you haven't seen the 8790 adaptive LED yet. That headlight is crazy.

I think you'll need to use the single color clusters in the rear.Your bike should have an 1157 bulb base and it seems they are only available in red/red.I had the clusters red/amber on the rear of my 14 Canadian SG(has a tail light) and my riding buddies said it was difficult to see my signal light when I had my brake on.The outter ring of brake LEDS over whelmed the inner cluster of signal LEDS.Maybe the single color doesn't have that issue.I don't think you can buy the clusters for the front.Most are going with the Ringz.

If you go with HD do not get the projector, go with the HD Reflector much better casting of light.

I want to ensure you're being literal that it is the exact same and not the situation where I'd need a supporting or halo ring to make it fit. Is it what you're running? THANKS!
