LED array installed in Tombstone tail light
Well I was sceptical when I ordered a LED array from Custom Choppers on ebay, as the price was muchlessthan everyone elses price.
Ebay
I had to remove the bulb socket assembly and use the die grinder on the grey plastic base to recess the array, so it was not tight against the lens. Then I drilled a screw hole into the grey plastic base through the hole provided in the array. Through this I used a small #4 screw to mount the array. I then used hot glue to brace the top of the array between the cover mounting towers. As for the wiring it is soldered & shrink tubed. I am very pleased with the instensity & pattern. I know there were others with Springer Classics & Deluxes that were looking into adding a LED array to brighten up the dim tombstone tail. This actually works pretty good for about $50.00.

Yes it can be reversed with very little effort. The price of 119.00 for the Kuryakyn vs the 38.00 for the Rick Doss LED array..... well what can I say.
