Default Switchback LED Tail light
Have a 2013 Switchback and have LED lights all around except for the tail light. It appears that HD does not make an LED tail light for the bike. Has anyone been successful in finding one or modifying another assembly?

Thanks

The same part #'s that fit the Street Glide 06-09 fit the Switchback, the only difference from the ones that fit all the other models is that these don't have the license plate window on the top of the light.

Do you have a name or a model number for that light?

Thanks for your reply

Little expensive I think.

I personally wanted the strobe feature for the brake light.
BAL lights are made local to me so I wanted to support a local business.

Before I got this I had a led bulb in the drag specialties smoked laydown lens.
You have to use the can-bus compatible led bulbs.
