Question LED tail light (What to expect)

Has anyone installed a LED tail light and or rear LED turn signal on their 07 Dyna I have the turn sig harnessed in with running lights ( what to expect and any additional purchases to install is the question )

Looking to do this as a winter project, the dumb a$$ behind the counter at the stealer was totally clueless so HD OEM is out have to go after market

Thanks in advance for any info
D/C

You'll need a load equalizer since the LEDs pull a lot less juice than the stock bulbs. Without one, your blinkers will flash very fast and the red key (security light) might come on. Badlands and Biketronics are a couple of sources for those.

Kuryaken makes a couple of plug-in led tail lights as well as load equalizers. Harley has one as well, looks quite similar. I'm planning this mod myself over the winter.

They have everything you need. Good stuff, good warranty, quick service. I already had the HD LED tail light, but converted my turn signals to RBT.

I have a kit coming in from Custom Dynamics, it is going to replace my brake/turn signal lights in back and front. THis includes the load equalizer and smoked lens.

I'll take before and after pics and post them.

I don't understand why this simple swap could be considered a winter mod. It doesn't matter if you are changing the turn sigs to run/brake/turns with LEDs or just adding a load equalizer to convert 1157's to LEDs, the worst case scenario will still take well under a half hour to accomplish. It's plug and play.

I installed a LED smoked tail with turns, and didn't use the load equilzers and my signals don't blink fast, everything works perfect.

I put in the LED's on my rear turn sigs which only function as brake lights now. Didn't need the equalizer as it hasn't thrown any codes.
