Custom Dynamics LED Issue
My father bought Customer Dynamic LEDS for the front and rear turn signals and stabilizer on his 2012 FLHX. He bought them in Daytona and brought his bike over to me to slap them on this past weekend (finally a decent weekend in NJ). Has anyone have any issues getting the lens covers back on? Once the LEDS are in, the lens cover does not want to go back on/doesn't snap into place.
He is also getting static on radio. I even tried installing the stabilizer's ground on a post in an alternate location as recommended in their instructions. I tried calling and got no help. Figured I would try here.
Front LEDS went in fine.
Of course a 10 minute job turns into a hour.
Any ideas?

Stabilizer
If you get static on the radio then the stabilizer is bad. Had the same problem and a new stabilizer fixed that. Can't help with the lens covers not going back on I did not have that problem.

Can you get the lens on without the light in it? If not, then something is whacked with the lens or possibly he has different turn signal housings.
The static is from bad ground or bad equalizer.

custom dynamics LED issue
I installed mine on my FLTRU last week. Had to trim 3 of the 4 rubber gaskets in the directional buckets. Using a sharp/new razor blade made this easy. Hold the blade on an angle and trim down the gaskets using a circular motion. If you look into the buckets/housings you will see what I mean. I used a Biketronics signal equalizer because it is smaller and does not require a battery connection. This set up is working flawlessly. I do not think that this fitment issue occurs on flat style directionals. Hope this helps.

Thanks everyone for the responses. Lens fit without any bulb or LED in it. They are the stock red lens on the FLHX.
Didn't look at trimming the gaskets on the inside since I didn't have to do it with my Softail. I'll have to contact them about the stabilizer.
steelmonkey - is the biketronics stabilizer plug and play? Maybe I'll see if I can return the CD for my dad and get him the biketronics.
