Not sure. Only familiar with my 2011 Ultra but you can not change the LED light in the Tach or Speedo yourself. Needs to be sent out. See earlier post for the Forum Member that does the Tach and Speedo's.

Love the LED's on the tach & speedo. How did you get inside of them. I have changed the other 4 gauge lights, but was told the speedo & tach are Factory sealed and cannot be changed. HELP PLEASE

I didn't change mine but if you do a search on this Forum on changing the Gauge Lights there is a Forum member that does them. Yes, the Speedo and Tach are Factory Sealed and yes it takes the right equipment to change the LED lights in them. I left mine the stock amber LED and just put the WLED-xHP5 lights in my smaller guages which as you know is pretty easy.

I see you ride 2up. I do about 70% 2up. I put the SE 255 Cam in and its great when paired with the 103". When I had the 103" installed I also had them install MCR's.

Default SuperbrightLED Gauge Upgrade


Stock Lamps




LED Lamps


I just installed the SuperbrightLED WLED-HP5 (Amber) replacement lamps in the small gauges on my 2013 Street Glide. Quite a difference in illumination. Simple installation. Remove stock lamp and install LED lamp. No other changes required.
