Default LED Turnsignal Conversion Question

Ok I have a 2012 Street Glide. I am looking to do a LED conversion for all my lights. The more I read, the more I get confused.

I am looking at doing the Radiantz LED. Do I need to get the 1157 for front and rear?

I pulled both bulbs out of the bike and they are both duel filament but I have read in many places that it may be a 1156 for the rear.

Thanks,
J

I do beleive the rear on a 2012 is 1157, when they had the tail light and separate turns, I believe the turns were 1156. Can't help you on the Radiantz, but can tell you I did complete LEDs from Custom Dynamics and they rock! Easy installation and they light up. I put the Dynamic Ringz on the front and they are great, the way they add the white running lights for visibility. Also used a BIketronics equalizer, plug and play, effortless. Search out Garemlin, he has a great review of these lights.

I gave up trying to make sense of the bulbs! Got replacement lenses with integral LEDs instead.

Thanks guys. I have had good experience with Radiantz in the past so that is why I was going to see about give them a try again. However I have read many good reviews on Custom Dynamics.

I used Kuryakyn for my 2012 Street Glide LED conversion:

Rear: Part Number 5449

Front: Part Number 5443

They look good work like a charm.

I did the Custom Dynamics on my 2010 FLHX. I had another set on my Softail before. They're great quality, lifetime warranty, and it's as easy as taking out the old bulb, and putting in the new. The load equalizer they sell is plug and play. Pull the 2 parts of the wiring harness apart, and snap the equalizer in line. Done in under 10 minutes if you are taking your time.

I am running the Badlands LE and Radiants LEDs on all four corners of the Road Glide. Bright as hell. I went through Badlands directly. They gave me an awesome military discount. 1157s on all four

The ones using the 1156 bulbs on the rear are those that have the center tail light. The Street Custom and Road Glide Custom that have just the Turn Signal bar with both brake/Turn signals, but no center light use the 1157 bulb.

I am running the Badlands LE and Radiants LEDs on my rear. They are BRIGHT!! I like the Badlands better than the Harley because they are regularly on dim (but look real bright). When the turn signal is used, the light will dim/bright, like a dual filament bulb (1157). With most others, when you use the turn signal, the light will go out completely when flashing. That is less light on the rear. The Radiants LED are just a "Plug-N-Play". I just plugged them in and that was it. I am using clear len
