Default LED Bulb question

I did a search and found some information, but nothing very clear.

I believe vibration is killing my running lights all the time. I keep replacing them. I am thinking about dropping LED Bulbs into my existing turn signals. I have smoked lenses with amber bulbs right now.

I have an 06 FXSTI. Would I need to do anything other than just replace the existing bulbs with LEDs? Anyone know where I can get the bulbs I'm looking for for front and rear? Model #'s? I'd prolly also replace the tail light bulb as well while I'm at it.

Is this even possible?

Thanks to all in advance!!!!!!!!

Check these out: LED Signals
As they say at the site you may need a load equalizer due to the reduced current draw of the LEDs.

If you have that much vibration, you've got a real problem. A poor ground will also do this.

Put this response in your other thread but figured I would here too.


Check out the Radiantz LED clusters. Supposed to be really bright. I have a set on order right now. They are a little pricey but you get what you pay for. You can get them through M&M Cycle. They are in the Custom Chrome catalog.

Also when running LED's you will need a load equalizer or you will get what is known as hyperflash. There are many options for this. I went with the Biketronics Tailbones which is a run/turn/brake module with a built in load equalizer. Also available through M&M.
