You need a 5 3/4".... I got the one I told you about, on Ebay, It's bright, I think it's close to as bright as the HD "Daymaker" on my Breakout, and waaaay better than the stock light, and for $125 the price is right..... I also live in the country/mountains, no street lights and a lot of deer...it came from here..https://www.octanelighting.com/ You can buy it directly from them as well. I can't vouch for other brands...changing the rear lighting on a Rocker isn't too straight forward, I just did it, and a Badlands run-brake-turn module/load equalizer works well if you switch the LEDs or want to do separate tail light and turn signals....You can P.M. me if you want more info...

I'm glad you can understand his post. I'm horseing around with my headlight as we type. I may order a different LED bulb. Already have one in mind. I came in this thread to see if I could help, maybe not.

You cant always trust the compatibility checker on Ebay... I got the 1st one you posted $124.95....and again, I installed it in a new housing, but used the stock connector/plug and it plugs right in. I also just looked at my stock housing and I see no reason why it wouldn't work with that light, or any 5 3/4" light for that matter....
