RE: LED Lighting
For my 06 softail I had the following concerns with the option:
[ol][*]To convert turn signals I needed a load ballancer (an additonal...HD, or hundred bucks).[*]To convert the fender lights they make a bulb assembly with a tiny circu board on it (37 bucks per fender).[/ol]
I ended up not doing it. Let meknow how yours turns out. Maybe I'll pick the cause back up sometime after geared cams & a corbin seat.

Check out Biketronics, they have the controllers and use Radianze lights, a couple of guys have used their systems with good results.

You can also check out Custom Dynamics, they sell Biketronics and Badlands controllers and equilizers as well as Radianze and other bulb replacements.

I put the Kuryakyn panecea taillight on the wifes fatboy last week, pretty much a plug and play job. Came with the load equalizer to mount under seat. Her brake light looked like a running light in the day, now it is super bright. It flashes three times and then comes on solid when brake is applied. Half of it flashes when turn signal is used. If turn signals are used with the taillight another load equalizer must be used.

RE: LED Lighting
Like Clutchglass said u have to have a load ballancer. This is what i did.
I got the load ballancer and then got some 1157 LED Cluster replacment bulbs (there are replacement for most all bulbs) I had a custom rear light already. I wanted to what the diffrence between before I shelled out the big bucks for new signalights. but i have to the load ballancer for rear anyways. I was not real impressed with the bulbs they where not as bright as the as the old 1157 but the rear was like night and day. I also found that on the signal lights with a cluster like that it more like a beam, with the old bulbs its more seen around u other then just stright behind you

Are you set on keeping the factory housing for the signals? I would think getting the LED's in the housing would be easier that trying to mount LED panels/wiring though.

Toms_softail,
You don't needa load equilizer for teh tail light. You only need one for the turn signals to work with the flasher unit, and maybe the security system. Some people have reported that they didn'tneed one. But I would still get one for the turns, just in case.

RE: LED Lighting
I have the Kuryakyn Panacea taillight and rear turn signal inserts. I also have their front LED turn signal inserts. All of it was easy plug and play. And my rear signals now function as run/turn/auxilliary brake lights.
Cheers!
