Default Over charging

I installed LED lights on FLHTK 2011 will it over charge ? Or burn up charging system ?
Because the LEDS take less power.
Thanks Ken

Over charging is the most comman complaint with Harley Davidson (the MoCo). Even the shirts are expensive.

No, if your regulator is doing it’s job everything should be fine.

As cjay said, no. You're fine. If anything, lowering the wattage of your headlight like you did made your charging system's job easier.
