I would be curious if anyone has had a streetglide apart. I think I would like a red color backlight on mine instead of the very dull orange....or at least have the radio and gauges match...lol

I did find this website for those with the regular round speedo's etc. I know nothing about them though...

I have changed my street glide to the red bulbs....Probably going to change back, it doesn't look good with the gauges red and the tach &speedo dull yellow. Plus, with the red light its hard to read the gauges [:@] But if someone could change out the tach & speedo to red, I would put up with being hard to read, because it would look bad as he!!.

04harleyboy...did you go to the link in my previous thread. This place does both the tach and speedo in all the colors.. I guess they actually change out the leds in the speedo and tach units. Looks like 150.00 for the pair though, so not as cheap as a 3.00 bulb. It defiantely would be cool to get rid of that dull yellow for sure...

Do you have to remove the gauges from the inner fairing to remove the bulbs from the gauge? bugfuzz

I changed out the lights on my road glide to autozone red bulbs. Don't remember the exact part number, but looked good at first. Anyway after a couple of months, noticed while riding one night that the lights had lost their red color. Pulled one out and it had pretty much faded most of the red paint, so they have kinda gone to clear now.
Anyway, I am going to try to find the little red ruber covers, like the factory yellow ones.
