Default Changeover to LED's with stock housings

Does anyone have a parts list and source for changing out stock signal lights, tail light, headlight, and light bar lights all to LED but keeping the stock housings? Also do you need a light module of some sort to change the voltage output to the lights?

Custom Dynamics is the source for all your auxillary LED lighting needs. You most likely will need a controller.

When you decide, call CD and let them help you. That ensures you don't buy the wrong size, wrong part or waste you time and money. Lifetime warranty. My entire bike is switched over to LED using housings with their inserts.

CD makes quality lights - most are plug & play - check around their website to get some ideas then call them - they are great to work with ...stay clear of cheeper ones you might find on Ebay. etc...

Custom Dynamics all the way.. Lifetime warranty, as mentioned earlier... MoCo I believe only has 'one' year warranty on lights.... Be good to yourself go CD.. Awesome company to deal with.

For those with the CD LED conversions: How does the beam shape compare with the original halogen bulbs? I tried some LED H4 and and passing light LED conversion bulbs and the beams were nothing like the original, the passing lights had no beam at all, could have done just as well hanging the LEDs on the end of the wire. The headlight went from the horizontal bar shaped "hot spot" to a round spot light pattern with very soft edges. Raising the beam high enough to light the road at a distance put too much of the round pattern in opposing drivers' eyes. Went back to the halogen bulbs.

You may be able to use a bright *** tailight for the tail. They're better than CD or HD for that specific light.

I installed a HD Daymaker headlamp. No issues with coverage. Also, the Daymaker LED's kelvin rating matched my Kury passing lights perfectly.
