Default LED Inserts

I ordered some of the Led Inserts for the front running/turn lights.

Well I had nothing but problems. Went to install it and they had not filled the base so it started to bend. Like to never got it back out.

I filled them with epoxy and installed them. Turned on the lights and had one white and one yellow. Damn.

I had to move the wires on the circuit board. Finally got them fixed and installed.

Jeeze can't they make anything right the first time..

Who did you buy them from? This doesn't sound like a Custom Dynamics light.
I don't understand "didn't fill the base"

That's exactly what I was thinking...not Custom Dynamics. Their products have all been plug-and-play perfect on my bikes.

Custom Dynamics is really the best way to go. The hardest part of installation is taking off the lens.

Does it matter what the OP used? He's venting. You get what you pay for.
Next time use Custom Dynamics. I personally never have and fix it or return it if it's unrepairable instead of bitching on a forum.
