I will add to the Custom Dynamics train as well! I have their lights everywhere too except for the rear brake, headlight, and passing lights (Not Yet Anyways). I have some pics if it helps you out. I started with the Harley brake light. Liked the way it looked so I went with the rear turn signals to match. Direct plug and play with built in load equalizer. BUT after I installed them and went for a little ride around town, the left side burned out. On my way to the dealer the other one went. Dealer replaced them with no problem. They installed the new set and once I got home, one burned out again. Same thing but they ripped apart all of the connections on my bike and found nothing wrong. On the third set, SAME THING! Now they refunded the money 100% and hooked me up with the CD lights. Not a problem since. I have the fender tip inserts too which you don't need.

Off



Ignition On



Brake On

I got the Harely Davidson LED rear turn signals for christmas from my brother this past year and I have already had to replace the right side and now I am waiting to see if I can swap out my left signal now for a new one. I love the LEDs but the quality seems a little off or maybe Harley just had a bad batch. I am looking for other comapnys though. The Trucklite headlight looks badass though!

My dealer called HD and asked if there was any other cases with the LEDs and they said no. Hopefully it was a bad batch and if others had this problem too, they will take care of you. Good thing is now there is a 1 year warranty on everything they sell. You are the only other case that I have heard of so far.

Luckily they have been very helpful and willing to swap them out. The right turn signal, on the PC board, the capacitor on the back had one of the legs burnt off. Now the left side had only 25% of the LEDs on. I think another compnent in the board is messed up. Ill have it fixed this weekend.

I have the custom dynamics tombstone LED and it is a huge improvment over stock. I would suggest the magic strobe modulator also. Grabs alot of attention when you hit the brakes, and its plug and play.
