    Default LED tail lights

    2013 TriGlide. Considering LED brake lights. Radiantz are $139 each and Badasslights are $199. Is there much of a difference between the two. It seems radiantz pulse patterns cannot be adjusted but how about the brightness difference?

    Thanks

    I will use nothing but Hyper-Lites on my bikes. I had a guy in a car follow me into a Gander Mountain parking lot just to find out where I got them.
    And the prices are waaaaay lower then these others lights. My set cost me $69. I'm thinking on installing 2 sets on my new TG.

    I recommend them with the highest authority. pepper pepper pepper

    A week ago I purchased the H-D LED tail lights because it's too cold to install the Hyper-Lites until spring. I could not find the plugs to plug in the module so I brought it back to the dealer. Service manager said I'll put it on for you(free-believe it or not). He did but he said I didn't need the module on the '14 TG. The only thing different will be the flash indicators will flash faster then the actual tail lights. I said I don't care how fast they flash as long as there is no other problems. He said there will be none.
    Well, he was wrong - the indicators do not automatically shut off, so the module must be required.
    It's going to be interesting to see how he hooks up the module since, like I said, there is no plugs to plug it into.

    GARYD, I put LED front turn signals on my 2014 TriGlide and the LED lights worked great, but the flasher on the dash was very fast. When I installed the Harley LED tail-lights it fixed the flasher and now everything works as normal. Around the same time I installed a battery tender and had to unhook the battery for a few minutes. You may want to try disconnecting the battery because I can't remember if that solved the flasher issue or if installing the LED tails-lights did!!

    I believe it messes with the secuirty system thus causing the lights to hyper flash..had the same problem with mine until the load equalizer was installed.

    Hey one last thing make sure they plug the module in before the tail light inverter under the seat or they will not work correctly either..

    i really not sure about the lights you guys are talking about but i switched out my 1056 tail light bulbs to LED replacements, no rewiring just put them in. i was going thru to many 1056's and since putting the LED's in i have not replaced one since. i bought them on e-bay for about $5.00 each and i think they were 18 leds each and are brighter than the originals.

    Now there's a decision. Some people say they had to install a module and some say they didn't.
    They are all LED's so shouldn't it be the same type of install???

    I've always heard that LED's needed some kind of module in order to replace a standard light.

    Need some professional enlightenment here.


    captdanwh, do you ride with the brakes on???
    I think in 40 years of riding - cars and bikes, I maybe have replaced 5 light bulbs. I can't believe I'm that lucky.

    It is weird Gary...Every light on my TG is LED, plus several additional lights added beyond stock, with no module installed, and everything works perfectly. I asked my favorite tech about the modules, and he said he has never installed one in any bike that he did electrical mods on and has never seen or heard a problem.

    The module is for the turn signal flasher when LEDs lights are installed in place of the filament bulbs. The module is a resistor to keep the turn signal flasher working at the required interval flash correctly

    I have the same problem, I've spent a least 3 hrs. looking for those plugs, just wondering if your dealer found a solution.

    Dealer said "Canbus (2014/15) will learn LEDs and adjust flash rate. Just install, hook-up battery tender, and put on the emergency flashers for 5 minutes or so." Looking at doing the custom dynamics front turn signals on mine. My plug & play rear Radiantz LED strobe tail lamps worked perfectly out of the box.
