tail light out, so maybe I upgrade to LED
Well, this morning I went to ride the Wide Glide into work and noticed that one of my running/brake/turn lights is out. Only the running seems to be out as the brake works and the turn signal works but with these idiot cagers and logging trucks around here, I decided not to chance it at 04:30hrs in the morning.
I was thinking of maybe upgrading to LED's. I have been thinking about this for a while now and the only reason I would want to do it is purely for safety. However, as I research this more and more, it seems I would need the LED lights, along with a run/turn/ brake light kit, along with a load equalizer and take into effect that my bike has the factory security. Now this is what is throwing me off, What do I need extra to make the LED's work properly with the security? I am only doing the back for right now but would like to upgrade the front turn signals as well in the future.
Should I just say screw it and just get a replacement bulb for it? I think a 1157 should do it right?

I upgraded the tail light to the HD LED after getting rear ended. It's better than stock, but still not enough. Searched around and decided to convert my turn signals to RBT. Bought the RBT module, load equalizer, LED clusters, and red lenses from Custom Dynamics. Not sure how the security system would play into that, but you could e-mail them and ask. It made an amazing difference.
