Smile Rear Fender Tip Light

Does anyone or has anyone installed or have this light (part # 59685-10 ) and if so how do you like it and how hard was it to install. I think the wife is getting it for my Limited (2014) for Christmas. Thanks in advance, PaUltraBob

I have it on my 14 Limited, it's brighter and serves as a additional brake light.

Had my dealer install, for some reason they had problems installing but got it. Remember, your bike has a canbus electrical system.

Good luck

You replace existing wire that connects to tail light an new light has 3 wires as opposed to the two on stock light. Easy bolt on.

I had this light on my 09 Electra Glide and was very happy with the operation and added visability.But,one day while riding to York Pa after some heavy rain,my buddy riding behind,said my rear lights were all wonky.I had the HD LED tail light and HD LED turn/brake signal lights.When I was turning or braking I was getting a variety of lights flashing and blinking.That night in the hotel parking lot,me and a beer figured out that the fender tip light was the cause.I disconnected it and had no more problems.The light had some water ingress.When I installed a new one,I put a coating of silicone on all seams and where the wiring exited from the case.

Great, adds one more brake light to your bike. I also added the HD slanted led tail light ( same as found on the new CVO Limited ). Both light up bright when the brakes are applied.

I've got the smoke lensed version. I like having the additional brake lighting, every little bit helps. Easy installation.

It is an easy install, I have the smoked slanted led tail light, the smoked fender light, and yesterday I installed the smoked Electra Glo saddle bag lights. In addition, I swapped out the red tour-pac lights for the smoked version to completly gray out the back of my bike. Man the rear of my bike is lit up for Christmas.
