I mounted this LED light on a 96' HD FLHTC. GREAT SAFETY IMPROVEMENT. Conversion required updated light backplate. I used a Custom Dynamics TL-B Taillight Base Plate (Mdl. Yr. 1999-2016) the part included the back gasket (This was a Amazon return so only $18.26). You can try same or source used EBay or HD OEM. First I cutout the bracket inside the opening and painted cut area. Set the backplate to relocate 2 top & bottom mounting holes outside of opening. Drilled where marked in pic #3. I used phillips-head #8/32 X1.25"L SS screws with 11/32 nuts. (NOTE: USE LOW PROFILE SCREW HEADS) Did not use plug end. Trimmed insulation bike wire back 3/4", slipped on heat shrink and slipped wires into each light fixture terminal ends (about 1/2 of braided wire end). Folded back wire, spun remaining braid around terminal and slipped over heat shrink and heated for complete termination. Wire match B.red-yellow to L.red, B.blue to L.purple and B.black to L.black. (B=Bike, L= light fixture.) NOTE: Backplate to Lens requires (2) #8/32 X 1"L mounting screws. You can use OEM as they are course thread. Test wire before proceeding with modification to ensure light works on brake-running & license plate.
Better than original factory lighting.
