They fit fine & work.
H-D say they Do Not fit the Heritage or Deluxe as the do not have the Spot Light symbol on them!



I've fitted them to my wife's Deluxe and basically just for the yearly inspection test put a Spot Light Sticker on it, which is all H-D supply in the Axillary lighting kit for pre Rushmore Tourers!




You may well find the aftermarket Turn Switch Extenders and stickers are far cheaper than the OEM and very little difference, the quality of the OEM switch extenders is not that great, they are quite flexible!

I'm running them on my 23 Heritage. They work fine. They just don't have the logo for the auxiliary lights on them, b that functionality remains.

I do like them. They are far easier for my thumbs to find.

While I went aftermarket (Drag Specialties as I recall), were I to do it again I likely would go oem. The plastic isn't a perfect match, which presumably the oem ones would be. The difference is subtle, but I know it's there.

Prying the old switch covers off is a bit of a challenge. Not overly hard, but more difficult than many of the videos make it seem. Popping the new covers on is a half second job.

Well, this is fun. Had my bike 7 years, never knew that spotlight switch was there. I have the extended turn signal caps, and they are great to have. Fat Bob doesn't have spotlights and Harley doesn't offer factory spotlights as an option, but every once in a while I'd see that green icon light up on the dash and had no idea what it was. Now I do. Thanks!
