Default 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.

I like Luxe's much better. Alittle more work with a lot of ingenuity and the price is right. As long as the conversion can be reversed and put back to stock. Just in case.

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.
