Default ideas for led updates (run/turn/stop)

been looking around for LED upgrades for my '13 xl1200x (48), but having a hard time finding details... looking to do all four corners...(front: run/turn or just turn) (rear: run/turn/stop).


i've seen people comment on both cd and radiantz but not sure what sets to look at... both sites are kinda confusing and would rather here some opinions from consumers and not the companies if possible...

thanks.

You can build you own with a few 12 amp diodes

Default LED's

I just installed the lights from Custom Dynamics on my 2010 Street Glide. I pitty the fool behind me if they are too close when I step on the brake. They WILL be blind. I have yet to install the plasma rods that I also ordered. The install for the brake and turn was easy and straight forward. If you are unsure call the 800 # and they will walk you through the order and make sure you get everything you need. They have been great to work with so far.

Remember, you get what you pay for. They arent the cheapest, but they will be there when you need them.....

I have made adapters to turn 2 wire led light to operate on 3 wire as 3 wire lights with 2 intensity levels. Half bright for run light and full bright for brake and/or turn signal.
It takes 2 diodes and 1 resistor per light.
