Default 2012 FLTRU tail light to LED

I have a 2012 Road Glide Ultra. It uses a rear tail light/ stop light bulb, mgf. P/N 14407. I would like to install a LED bulb but cannot find one. Has anyone done this on this model? If so please send P/N and where you bought it. Thanks, Jannie

change the light out to something aftermarket with a modulator.

Slapping a bulb in the existing housing isn't going to give you the visibility you want

I have Custom Dynamics lighting on the back of my 13 Limited, you can see it from the space shuttle

Guy on this forum is selling a Custom Dynamics Genesis II all LED HD squareback tail light, has 120 LEDs in it. Remove the two tail light mounting screws, remove and unplug the stock unit and plug in and put the two screws back in on the LED--very simple plug & play. It is a used unit but it looks good, think he wants $80 shipped, new one from CD is $149.95 and shipping.

Maybe he meant space station?

I agree though, for not much more money you can have a much better solution. I have CD on both my Harleys and they are definitely bright!

Go with a Custom Dynamics unit. Super bright and great customer service. Add a strobe module if you'd like a flash pattern too. My thought is that there is no such thing as making yourself too visible from behind.

My last bike I dropped in a 3157 red LED the same as my Jeep. Brighter than stock, though not as bright as a BAL or CD tail.

It's not a special bulb.
