LED Taillight Bulb
I’d like to improve the visibility on my 09 Night Train taillight by going to an LED bulb.
Don’t have a lot to spend on a new system so I hope a just bulb change will help?
Anyone have a part number and where I can find one?

When I added '59 Caddy lens to the back of my bike, the plastic is thicker than the stock lenses. Regular bulbs did not show up during the daylight. I tried LED replacement bulbs but they were just barely brighter than stock. I then went to halogen lights and they show up great! J & P Cycles has them, the part number is: 3800457.

Well I just read where I need to change my taillight lens also to a “LED” type.
The NT stock lens design dose not allow for maximum performance using a just an LED bulb.
So I need to change the bulb and lens which brought the cost way up.

Save your money and do what Schaub86 said, get the Tri-Bar, its better, brighter, and looks much better than that POS the factory puts on damn near every bike they make.
This is what it looks like on the back of my bike.
Lights on.
Brake light on.

Never mind, you want tail light. They may also sell those...

Will these fit? They are blinding. You may, or may not, need a load equalizer.

you can use one of these and do not need a load equalizer or anything..Once you start putting more LED bulbs on you might need it, but just one of these works fine.
