HD LED lights installed
Glad that's done. Lot of dinken around. All the instructions could be much easier if they just added a few more sentences explaining a little better. But i suppose that would cost ink and low profit margins don't support something that frivolous. Biggest pain was the front signal lights/passing lams wiring.
The read fender tip light plug had no free spot, so i had to solder the wire from the signal light y-connecter to it. Surprised myself....everything works!
Running lights
Brake lights
before i installed the headlight. I will find a security screw for the trim ring. To easy for somebody to walk away with it now.

Contrary to your signature line, the HD LED headlight and passing lamps are made in Japan. Truck Lite7's are just as effective and made in America at half the cost. Brite *** Lights (BAL) makes a better tail light also made in America. The Tourpak LED tail lights look neat though and I haven't yet found any American ones as an alternative. Has anyone else?

I just watched a vieo review of the Trucklite lamps and they stated the TL were made in Korea and JW Speaker lamps are made in USA.

I was looking at this "version"
and
I'd think they'd fit my '07 Heritage

I researched and read up on the truck lite's as well, and almost bought them. What made up my mind, was that if i got stranded without lights far away from home on a long trip, my chances of getting a replacement/parts is much better with the HD lights. In the end, either is much better then stock and cant go wrong.

The tail lights look good Pete. I'm wanting to get LEDs on my bike soon. I just have a "hurdle" to get by...my wife. I think she thinks they're unnecessary.

It's all about safety, right? Thats what my wife said. But she don't give me a hard time on anything i buy.

It IS about safety! Those 2 little bullets on mine, can't be all that noticeable. Now yours...there's no way someone coming up behind you can't see you!

I'm very happy with the light-show. All lights are on when i pull the brake. Very impressive, for sure. Makes me feel better, but I'll still keep my eyes on the texter's behind me. I never took a pic without brakes on. Will do that tomorrow, to compare...
