Default Replacing Front turn/marker lights with LED

Anyone do a swap out of their incandescent bulbs for LED plugins? WHich did you use? I'm looking to do this on my 2015 Limited. I don't want to replace the entire assembly, just the bulbs. I've done it on other bikes - took the 1167's or what have you and put in LED with the same base, but brands and their quality vary greatly. Any input?

Thanks

I replaced my front turn signals and real tail lights and turn signals with led from custom dynamics.
Took all of 15-20 mins since they are strictly a plug and play item.
This week I am going to get the Tri-Bar light for my rear fender.
Custom dynamics customer service is GREAT and will answer any questions you may have.
They also have a lot of videos on their web site with complete install instructions.

Did you did the whole assembly or just the bulbs?

Custom Dynamics is the only answer. They are brighter, less expensive, and have a better warranty.

Just the bulbs. Like I said it's as simple as taking out the bulbs and plugging in the replacement assembly.

I went the inexpensive route. They are probably not as bright as the Custom Dynamics but they are brighter than stock. Replaced front/rear turn signals and the brake light with these LED Bulbs: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

As I said, they are much brighter than stock. Have not seen anyone locally with the CD bulbs so cannot compare to how bright they are against those. I am happy with them.

If you want to just replace the bulbs - here is the CD link

I'd recommend the ones with the white running light color and amber turn in the front


I'd also recommend doing the rear ones as well while your at it for better visibility

I went the cheap route, superbrightleds. 1157-x45-T-CAR is the model I chose. You will need to trim the ribbed ring at the base of the LEDs so it will slip into the HD housing. Total was $53 with shipping for all four. Canbus system will learn so don't worry about hyperflash.
