The stop/run/turn is just a plug in relay under the seat, The tri-bar is pretty easy too.
Bags off, remove fascia, snip zipties,remove old tri-bar, install new tri-bar, run wire harness,
ziptie harness, plug in, mount fascia, mount bags and your done.

Sorry for the big pics.
Front & rear signals are Radiantz Retroz, tail light is Radiantz, strip across top of tour pak is Radiantz. Tour pak side led's and rear lights are Ride Time Technology, hardwired version, they are signals now too along with the tour pak side lights.
Everything on the back is wired to my Badlands Illuminator and is lit when the bike is on. When I hit the brakes, it all gets brighter, same with the signals.

... and what the other guys said about less power, more light, lasting longer AND they look cooler.

[QUOTE=bigskyhd;4337079]I have the LED's with the brake flashing modules, and I love em. I've had a ton of folks pull up and make a comment about how bright they are, and how they got their attention at the light. They also have an arrow in the tail light that flashes with the turn signals. I've had em for years, and never once had a problem. They're the Kuryakyn model.[/QUO I have the same set up and led's on the front, reason I have em cause ia they are brighter and harley is too damn greedy to put em on.

Definitely do your homework before buying any LED light for your bike. There are drastic differences between makes/models of lights. For instance, I bought my bike used and it came with the Cycle Visions Eliminator tail light

...and also Bag Lites.

They look cool and are fine at night but they are terrible in the day time. People that ride behind me always tell me that they cant see when Im signaling or when Im braking. I always use hand signals during the day so I dont get rear ended. The bikes prior owner spent over $500.00 on LEDs for the back of the bike and they are junk in my opinion. I will be replacing them before spring.
Definitely do some research before replacing your bikes standard bulbs with LEDs. Ive done some homework and the new LEDs going on my bike are very bright. You will be throwing money away if you buy the wrong lights and also be risking your life if people cant see you signaling / braking.

I haven't changed around my rear light setup yet but I recently ordered a LED tail light from BrightAss Lights. I heard their lights are extremely bright. I ordered the BAL-1 model
http://www.balights.com/
As far as rear turn signals go I'm actually going to try and make my own. I'm not sure how well it will work but you can purchase extremely bright pre-wired LEDs fairly cheaply. They are wired for 12v so they can easily be connected to the bikes electrical system.

If I can't get them to work then I'll just buy rear LEDs.
Whatever you do DON'T buy any LED lights from Heavy Cycles (www.heavycycles.com). If you place an order you will never receive it. Don't ask me how I know that...
