Looks like you got your wiring done! Looking good!

You like how white those LED bulbs are? Have you been out of the road yet to see how well everything is lit up?

If it stops raining long enough, I'll get it out and give a nighttime report. They do look good in the garage though!!

A question Kevin ~what's the amperage on your LED bulbs?

On Harley Davidson printed instructions, they have warned of exceeding the total amperage of accessories on a motorcycle. For example, on their -J05516.PDF, their H-D halogen bulbs "...require up to 4.56 amps additional current from the electrical system." and their H-D LED bulbs -J05236.PDF "...lamp kit requires up to 4.6 A current from the electrical system."

What is the amperage of your Premium White LED Bulbs P/N DK-05-PL-LED ?

The stock HD headlight pulls about 4.5 amps, our LED headlight bulb draws .8 amps. So that is a drop of 3.7 amps.

The Pair of LED bulbs you asked about come in right under 1 amp.

By switching to the DK LED's vs the HD bulbs (all 3- the headlight and the auxiliary lights), not only will it be better lighting, but a savings of 7.2 amps...less load on the stator!

Hey Kevin: does the difference in amp. draw cause any diagnostic codes to be thrown? Just wondering I have been wanting a set up like this as my night vision sucks and I really like the auxiliary lights that are being used in this setup. The OP did a dynamite job. I am impressed.
