Default LED Tail Light Replacement

Interested in swapping the tail light on my 2016 Ultra Limited with a LED direct replacement. Have checked the search function with zero results. Looking for suggestions. Can't seem to find a direct replacement on the Harley web site other than the lay back design. Any suggestions???

If it's just a replacement LED bulb you desire, I got this one at an auto store. It replaced the 1156 OEM incandescent. It works because it has led's facing rearwards. Some replacement types don't. However look at Custom Dynamics stuff. See if they have something you like.

Expensive but no one has ever regretted the purchase.

Custom Dynamics, and get the in-line control box. You can select one of 9 or so truly obnoxious strobe and flash patters guaranteed to raise awareness of any slack jawed drooling sh%t buckets behind you.

+1 Bright *** light. Best mod I’ve done to the bike. Very bright and you can set the brightness and flash pattern.

If it has the square light then this would my suggestion as well. I have one on my 02 and I can melt eyeballs behind me if I want. Worth evbery penny!!
