Default Lighting Question

Couple of lighting questions for the experts.

Has anyone changed out their front turn / rear stop turns to LED? If so, what did you use?

Personally I think it's crazy every light on this thing is LED other than the stop / turns!

Other question, can the spot lights be adjusted? Haven't played with them but realize the mounting is different for '14.

Thanks!

Lilman

Unless I misread the manual, loosening the locknut inside the spotlight housing allows them to be adjusted. Had the same issue on my '08 Heritage; it takes a flare nut line wrench to loosen, as the wire for the light is routed through the hollow stem. The manual even calls out a Snap-On part#.

I need to do this as well, since installing the DK Comfort Lift, the lights needed to be re-aimed. Headlight was easy, but the spots take more work.

I replaced the stop/tail lights with BAL.
Custom Dynamic LED's were ordered and should arrive shortly for the front turn signals.
No issues with the BAL. I'm told there should be no issues with the CD's either.

Thanks to all! I was thinking Custom Dynamics for the lights but hadn't checked with them yet.

Mark, I would have known that IF I had read the manual...LOL You know me, that's a last resort!
