ya your probably right....been looking at changing over all the exterior lights on my superduty but its about $400. also want to change the marker & turn/tail lights on my SG heard the HARLEY replacement LEDs for our bike are a plug & play but on the pricey side.

but that would mean cutting & splicing.....
the harley ones are supposed to be just plug in & really bright. although i havent seen them in person.
i just have a hard time cutting into wires when they offer direct replacements.
i know its a bit more money though.

negative, plug n play. I would never cut my harness. I forgot the brand but HD sells them. The only issue was to get the right one that works with the factory alarm system. I ve had it 3 years now and no issues.

lol i thought i might catch some flak over that. Currently, I have my quad torn apart for a cam change and CV axle change, so it's consuming a little bit of space.

Remember I said I bought my buddy one too? He's going to come over and we're going to do them at the same time. Which also means I need more room lol

Not to mention, i'm also
  • hiding the stock antenna
  • doing speaker upgrades
  • maybe led lights behind the gauges
  • remote garage door opener
All while i'm in there...
