on many late models there is an electric panel behind the tail light.

here's my tombstone on an early model;

Yes 07 and 08 CVO Roadkings have them as stock equipment.

the mount for the tombstone tail light is different than other lights.

for a stock HD light it requires a different fender, such as 07 or 08 SE Road King

for aftermarket it could be different.

in addition to a different fender mount, the wiring, plus the tail light set up are different as well as the grab bar on the back of the bike

it can be done, but its takes research

Just finished mine, all 07/08 CVO parts other than the turn signal, converted that to Deutsch connectors matching the harness until I pick up a chrome one.
