Dash lights changing to led
Have a 97 heritage springer. Bought the led plugin lights from superbrightleds.com. Pulled out one of the stock old dash indicator lites and put the new led in. Did not work several of them. Tried to reverse the bulb since the LEDs have to go in the right way due to polarity. Still doesn't work. Any ideas? It would be odd that several bulbs wouldn't work. Dumb as it sounds to me, do all 5 have to go in at the same time? Ps the stock lites do work just wanted them brighter

From what it looks like superbightleds.com sells 12v led bulbs that are direct replacement for stock bulbs. You would not need to install all 5. However I did not find a replacement dash bulb! What part # did you get? My guess would be you got the wrong bulbs. Let us know.

Looks like they are the correct bulbs for a 12v plug & play. From looking at the pics it looks like the contact points are the tails of the internal resisters! They may need to be scuffed up for a good contact? I would try to get them to light of the bike first. Like use a power supply or battery charger. & you are correct about polarity the will only work in one direction. Good luck & keep us posted
