LED turn signal installation
Just got my LED front and rear turn signals in and am going to try to tackle installing them tonight or tomorrow. Has anyone installed these and if so, any tips to make it go smoother?

the only tip i have is dont blink or you will miss it! i put the hd led signals front and rear and was back to my honey do list in 15 minutes. not sure about other manufacturers but the words plug and play was very accurate in the description

Ok, each one is two screws, remove the lens, twist the bulb to the left, insert the new light, twist to the right, replace lens, install two screws. That's not tackling, it's tickling. You are going to require a screwdriver and I highly recommend some dielectric grease.

+1 on the Dielectric grease .... well worth the time, effort and cost! Great advice!

LOL, if I were replacing the OEM bulbs I wouldn't have posted the questions. I'm replacing the OEM signals with the MoCo LED kits....

The front are a bit of a pain to get off because of the inside allen screws. Have a couple diff wrenches handy. I took the signal bar right off the rear. It made it easier. The wiring of the rear seems confusing in the directions but they are correct-just take time on each step. I just took them off my ultra and reinstalling on my new road king this sunday.
