Head light swap- 02 Dyna Low Rider
I'm looking to buy a LED headlight off Amazon, and they say they are compatible with my 02 FXDL but just seeing if anyone else here has done a headlight swap, is it pretty basic, old one pulls out, un-clips and new one hooks right up and mounted back on or will I be looking to run into any problems? Thanks for the advise, it's much appreciated. And any recommendations on blue tooth speakers for wiring also? Looking at some Boss MC420B speakers, they got great reviews but any other opinions would be helpful. Thanks again!

Not a lot of wires in yer headlight.Should be a plug n play deal. HOWEVER, Amazon LED headlights are cheap CHINA crap, so it may be easy if yer lucky. Some ya gotta change out the headlight shell. I've got Hogwerkz 5 3/4 LED in my 07 Dyna and the Wife's 04 XLH 1200 Custom. Fit's both bikes perfectly and AWESOME LIGHTING! But then,ya get what ya pay for.

Update,
Thanks for all the help, ordered one off Amazon and it was plug and play, looks good and works great too for riding to work in the dark at the mornings, can never be too bright for these crazy Phoenix drivers lol. Will drop the link to it at the bottom.
Another question, what about switching to LED turn signal bulbs, front and rear, anyone know of any problems there? Maybe they get too hot and melt anything? Just super cautious, don't want any problems with this bike for somehow, I messed up the wiring on my '79 shovelhead fxs80 and now there is a short and it's been at the shop for around 5 months and they are going to have to rewire the whole bike (doesnt help my grandpa was a home electrician and the bike was passed down from him) no answer is a wrong answer just looking for some experience, Thanks again!
