Custom Dynamics led install

Anyone had any issues with the plastic backing that you use a flathead screwdriver to insert and turn inside the housing of the signal light? Got everything in and ready but one of my rear housing is giving me a hard time catching and being plastic it's getting harder to grip now....

This **** happens to me I'm telling ya......everything goes smooth and on the simplest thing

Any tips or tricks out there?

Shouldn't be anything difficult, Just make sure the litttle prongs are going in the right slot, One is deeper than the other.They can be forced in the wrong way.

Agree....single filament bulbs (1156) will have one contact at the base...the two lugs on the side of the base will be even. Two filament bulbs. (1157) will have two contacts and lugs will be offset. There is a right and wrong way to install.

No issue installing them but some led burns out without load equalizer unless bike is 14 or newer IMO. Our 07 and 08 UCs both have few led burned without load equalizer but my 15 limited has zero issue.
