Default Difference Between PNs

Hi guys;
I'm facing a dilema, my left hand control stoped work (electronic board shorted), and I still searching for the replacement. But the dealer told me by phone that the PN would be 72943-12. But the price it's too high over here.
I found some on e-bay, but with diferente PN, 72949-12. By the way, are those PNs the same? My bike is a 2013 Fat Boy, with chrome turn signal and black finishing hand control.

Thanks in advance

give up on changing the discrete component??
you might try a bone yard for a second hand one. then you can use it to fix yours and have a spare by using the numbers off the component in question.

try this dealer's parts fiche on the shop online tab. you can check p/n's.

Exportes bike.
In Brazil, we don’t use the running light in turn signal. Lamps bulb are with one filament.

the hd# 72949-12 goes on a 2013 flstc heritage
if any one around has one, compare it, it shows it does not have the turn in the parts fiche.
for that matter, find some one with the control you have and see if they will allow you to take a picture of the board. maybe you can determine with discrete part you need.
over here, the part runs 280.00 us dollars but you can find it for 207.00 by shopping online hd dealers.

Man,
As I heard in a movie, “if I could, I would”. Around 200 USD?
The local dealer charges for the part 72945-12 (according to catalogue), around 1,110USD.
But I met a guy on internet selling what I need.
Hope can get my bike fixed soon.
Thanks
