Not sure what you looking for but I've got an Led tail light in the Softail classifieds.
https://www.hdforums.com/forum/softa...8085-08-a.html

It's a Harley Led tail light part # 68085-08 which is the version with a red lense and chrome housing. It was on my bike for a very short time and I really liked it...nice and bright. It's also plug and play just remove the old tail with a few screws and unplug it...plug in the new one and replace the screws. Takes all of about 3 minutes! My bike was wrecked back in May and I went back with an aftermarket fender so I have no use for it. It retails for $139.95 and my price is $80 shipped to the lower 48, anywhere else contact me for shipping quote.

Just remember, your Harley will not flash correctly with LED. The only reason I put mine in the taillight was to get the load off the brake light switches since I had replace them twice. (I have the diode box that brakes with the three rear lights) You will probably need the resistor load wired in line. I tried one of the extra bulbs in just the rear signal light and it was a no go and it made no since to me to go LED in the signals when I needed the resistors that just put the amp load back in.

Look into the HD TriBar taillight. It's 'plug and play' and looks way better then the stock one.

I've got the Alloy Art strut LED's on my 2010 FLSTF, I like them a lot. They look like an integrated part of the fender strut when they are installed.

You may need a load equalizer to get the correct flashing rate if you go with an LED type, depends on your year. On my 2010, after reconnecting the battery and cycling each turn signal one at a time, the electronics adjusted for the reduced load, works fine with no equalizer. If you do go with a LED type and you do need an equalizer, get the solid state type versus the resistor network, they don't get as hot. Biketronics has them.

They also make a plug in module that will run your LED turn signals as running lights and then they will blink when using the turn signal(s)....pretty cool!

Thanks for all of the input. It is the main reason that I like this forum so much. Everyone is so helpful with their past experiences. I am looking into getting the HD tri bar set up. I will keep you guys posted.
