Default Rear light question

I'm new here and after being a Shovelhead rider for about 40 years I'm picking up my new-to-me '93 Heritage Classic tomorrow and I don't know a whole lot about them.

After I clean it all up to my liking, I'm thinking about converting the rear signal lights to red running/brake lights. Does anyone know of a drop in kit that will convert to a dual filament bulb socket and still retain the signal feature???

Thanks in advance.

HD parts list, look and see if the run/brake/turn module is compatible with your year. Red lenses and you're done. If not, lil more work but can be done yourself.

Why not change into the deluxe tail lights they look way cool. Your parts dealer can help. I ripped off those ugly bar lights & installed the deluxe.

One of the first things I did was to install the converter module. The more light out back, the better.

Plus there are other companies making a similar version (custom dynamics, Kuryakyn, etc).

These just plug in between two OEM tail light plugs... no need to mess with the bulbs/sockets...

My dad rides a 92 Heritage, you should enjoy it, his has over 150k miles on it these days.

Once you get that figured out you are for sure going to want to get that plate relocated to down below!

That's all you need!
