If it's a Harley Davidson modulator the answer is no. The following is from the installation instructions for their modulator.

For use with a 1 watt - 60 watt bulb load at 12VDC.
This kit is not compatible with LED headlamps.

When you ask a technical question, you might think about giving some information about what it is you are working on.

I have a 2013 flhtc with A 7" truck light LED and my modulator works with it. Also installed Kuryakin adaptor wiring harness that allows the passing lights to be on both high and low beams or not at all. Works well. Passing lamps are Geniss.

If you should decide to get the Kuryaken adaptor wiring to do that on mine the harness was on rh side just under the valence. I just reached up under and pulled it down enough to unhook it and put the adaptor wire in then pushed it back up under the valance . Now the passing lights can be on or off on both high and low beams . turn the factory switch off and no passing lights.

easy peesy

I'm looking hard at the 5-3/4 inch Eagle Daymaker II, cost $199 on ebay. Looking to see if anyone has had any problems using on of these or knows of a better source. I got a 2008 FXDC.
