installed 4 new guage bulbs from superbrightleds today on my 09 Ultra. $18 and one hour of labor (the two lower guages are a little bit of a pita). Big difference, can actually see the guages at night now. Just wish there was a less expensive way of changing out the speedo, tach and HK faceplate. I went with the natural light since they put out more lumens than any other color, they appear to have a slight blue tint to them. Can't understand why they put those yellow condoms over the stock bulbs, they put out very little light. Before and after:

 

I did the same thing when one of my guage lights went out, I decided to go ahead and change all of them, the RG fairing is a PITA as far as I'm concerned, so whenever I do something that requires removing the fairing, I try to make the most of it.

 

Dbell,
did you end up doing anything to the speedo/tach and hk faceplate?

 

you know, riding at night in the boonies ( or driving), I don't want bright instrument lights--- I'm busy looking for moose

Can you share the part number of the bulbs you used? I think I will get some as well! It looks like WLED-xs will work.
Thanks.

 

With your pics it looks like a good change, not too bright as night riding could be effected.. Looks like a very good choice.....

Thanks a lot! Been going on dim bulbs for 60,000 miles! haha

 

thanks,
i think they turned out perfect, the guages are now very sharp and legible without being too bright

 

not to worry MKguitar, Im running the 100/80W Osram with the E-Code reflector, the guages do not detract from the output of the headlight
