I have the blue LED ones installed on my bike, and so far (nearly 1 year) no problems.
I read somewhere on this forum that the LED can go out, its a vibration problem, and that it is easily fixed by taking the housing apart and rewelding them.

Taking the housing apart is easier said than done, I tried taking apart a stock gauge and ended up destroying it. I dont think the assembly process is ireversible for certain parts.

I had the HD ones (blue LED's) and they crapped out after a year or so. I replaced them with Kuryakyn's and the added battery gauge is pretty cool.

Might I add out of frustration how bad I want these flush mount gas tank caps from HD, but the quality of workmanship is ****. Damn HD for not fixing them after all these years.

Not to mention, what a freaking bone headed move (being nice) to only offer blue leds. Because blue would look good with every paint scheme, right?

Ya just bought some black ones for my 2010 fatboy lo also, and dealer installed to boot. So hopefully they don't have any issues? I think these are the 2nd gen and should be good to go! Time and miles will tell......

I have them on my lo with denim paint. I think they look good. Here is a link to a post I have. You can see them on my lo. I'm on my phone so I can't upload any. Hope this helps. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/softa...-on-my-lo.html
