thinking about led taillight

Anyone swapped out their taillight's old incandescentbulb with an led bulb? I have a 94 Heritage and I'm thinking that an led setup would give me a littlebrighter taillight. Mine is kinda dim. Do I need to add other stuff or is it a simple bulb swap?

I think you'll need an LED conversion... but very simple Kuryakyn makes some and
they are plug and play... Good luck

For a taillight you do not need a load equalizer, just a bulb. But as I have mentioned in other threads, stay away from Kuryakyn LED's; they are crappy. I like the ones biketronics sells; they are very bright. www.biketronics.com
