Tri-LED Light on Street Glide
I noticed the other night that the LED Lights on the rear tail of my 06 Street Glide were out. A multimeter indicated that the current is flowing, so I thought it must be the LED's. I called the stealer for info on diagnosing the issue. I was told that I would have to leave the bike for service (At least a full day) and that it may not be under warranty.
Has anyone had the LED's go out? Do I need to replaced the entire piece? Should an LED last just over 1 year?

RE: Tri-LED Light on Street Glide
Cybdet,
I know of a few of these lights going out, from 2 friends who have SG's. Mine hasn't yet. I feel it has something to do with water getting in there and shorting it out. Just my 2 cents.
Warranty may be a problem, because its a light, ride the dealer hard because it should last longer than what you have had.
I ordered the Run/Brake kit, which is STILL on back order: LED lights up as a brake light also

LEDs should last @10,000 hours at least, that's 416 days of constant on time. This has me worried as I am getting the Street Glide fender lip/fascia/thingy on Monday to put on my Road Glide. I may have a good look at the LED strips and see if I need to add some silicone to the wires going into the lightbars

RE: Tri-LED Light on Street Glide
You say you know you have current flowing, how? Did you put an ammeter in series with the LED to check for current flow? Or a Voltmeter in parallel and test for volatage going to the LED? Big difference.

RE: Tri-LED Light on Street Glide
Dealer had a biker jam today, I went in and asked about the LED TRI-BAR light on back order. Was told it had a date of around the end of the month 06/26/07. Two months on back order, must be on the slow boat. LOL

I had water in mine and replaced it with the new Tribar brake light. I added the run/turn/brake signal module and it works great and gives me more lume in the rear.
