Default 1157 led bulbs

I figured the LED bulbs are deigned to replace the stock 1157 bulb. They don't fit.

My bike is a 2015 breakout. Are there any LED replacement bulbs that will fit?

Yes, you can find them with a google search but be prepared - they usually cost about $30.oo a bulb and for the extra brightness they give off they aren't worth it.

I've been searching this myself because the 4 from Custom Dynamics are $190. Yeah they're great and bright but costly.

I bought the 1157 LED's for the new Deuce lights I installed, they didn't fit, the 1157 tapers at the bulb base the LED's don't and the hole in the light is small. I took a dremel and ground out the hole near the socket. It didn't take much material removal to get the LED to fit (It's only plastic).

I bought these for my Crossbones before I removed the housings and went another direction, get it, for my signals. http://chromeglow.com/products/bulbs...from-radiantz/
They also make a pretty sweet for your rear fender with run-brake-turn in it

If they are the same 1157 I used in front and back the base flanges were bigger than light bezel opening. I used my lathe and turned down the excess circuitry board and aluminum leaving just enough material to keep it together. They work awesome after that.
