One thing about the kit, the red signal lenses are smooth rather than a defused lense like the stock brake. What happens, especialy at night is the smooth turn signal lens are much brighter than the tail/brake defused lense with the stock bulbs. I went to a lower wattage bulb in the turn signals to get them to match perfectly.. Think the stock were 24W and I found a 12W worked best.. any auto parts store should have them as they are standard single filament tail light bulbs.. 1157 I think it is..

Do you need to take the fender or wheel off to add the modular? Or can you get under it

I'll get some new pictures soon to show the changes
With the lenses it's about $80 (dealer price) if memory serves, from 2 years ago. Look under the seat, right side rear and you can see a small connector. Front wiring to rear wiring connector. Just goes inbetween. It's about bout 1 inch by 1/2 inch in size. I wired/spiced my LED plate into the tail light wire. Real easy. Hot lead into tail light hot lead and ground to old licenses plate light ground tab.. I soldered and covered with heat shrink tube.. Leave a litte extra wire just incase you ever have to revert it to the stock fixture.. If you do it that way of course. Search for HD part number 69461-06C. Thats not the right number for your bike, but that's what the module looks like.
