Default Just installed Custom Dynamics LEDs

I am looking to make some upgrades to my CVO that can easily be moved to another bike or sold. In other words, I am done putting $$ in a bike that I cannot recoup later.

I just bought these turn signal LEDs. I felt the stock lighting, particularly the front turn signals were way too dim, exacerbated by the smoked lens' on the CVO model.

Anyway, they went in like a snap. The lens' do not sit completely flush in some areas like stock, but they did snap in with just a fingernail gap in some areas, but not not everywhere. I am really just being picky.

Anyway, the first pic is a comparison of the rear bulbs. The second pic are the new turn signals in front, both LEDs.

I have the same setup on my Lo, awesome visibility, excellent customer service. Compatible with the run stop turn module. Had a couple of the leds on the fronts go out on me, lifetime warranty & they sent a replacement with zero hassles. Great company & great product!

No brake light module used. They are much brighter than stock. I module that makes them pulse would be nice, or they have a unit with different colored lights for turn and brake, but I did not want to add any components to the bike that may fail.

Just noticed you do not have a rear fender brake light. I dumped mine - looks much cleaner imo...
