I made my own deep socket for my 05 Heritage, similar to the snap on. But I just read one better. Use a 9/6 spark plug socket and slit the entire length. The wire will slip inside and you can turn the socket with an open end wrench with no interference with the wire. Good ole ingenuity! Holding the turn lamp housing and the road lamp housing while you tighten is the fun part. A little tighten, a little adjustment, a little more tighten......
I Dremeled an old deep socket rather then paying for a Snap-on. The biggest problem I have is finding level ground 25 feet away from a wall because most paving, including my driveway, is sloped away from buildings to channel water runoff.
