I just changed mine out to lighted controls 3 days ago. I ride to work in the mornings, when I can, and its usually dark. While yes, muscle memory helps, having them lit makes a big difference.I have super bright lights on my bike, and have to dim with oncoming vehicles. So many times I've honked the horn instead! I hate the fact HD didn't put them on stock. What really pissed me off was the HD website had them at $324.95. I called the local dealer for availability, and they wanted $341.00! I ended up getting them new from an audio company in Tennessee for under $275

My 2017 CVO Limited came with lighted ones 9 years and about 60K miles later I still haven't noticed them.

I've been reading along and I just got to ask.

Does anyone have a solution for putting lighted controls on a 2023 Road King Special?

Aftermarket supplier? How to add the lights yourself? Strap a flashlight (or two) to your handlebars?????

The HD Mothership says "these don't fit" and don't show any that do. (They stop making your bike and.....)

Do they fit any other 2023 bikes? Many times HD says "won't fit" for some reason they came up with.

When I click the "Shop Handlebar Controls that fit my bike" it takes me to the extended turn signal levers.

That'll require some sleuthing to understand what's unique about the Road King controls and connectors.

I cannot imagine that they "wouldn't work" but rather require some modification.
