LED means light emitting diode. Vibration will not affect it. Regular incandescent bulbs with a filament can be affected by vibration, but LED's.

Yes, I know what LED means and how they work. I was referring to the capacitor detaching from the board due to lack of support at the solder joint. It was a common issue on the early production turn signals. I'm not certain if Harley has improved on the design yet.

I have had those HD LED's on my Heritage for close to 10k miles now. No issue.

I switched from stock because I was constantly having people come right up on me when I was turning right, seemed they didn't notice I was turning. Since the LED's it hasn't happened. It was well worth it.

I put the Custom Dynamic's fender tip LED's on the front and rear of my softail. Bright is good, but my rear fender tip light is almost too bright and looks like my brake light is stuck on.

My HD L.E.D.'s lasted about a year and half before the solder joint gave way one the right side. Now only the bottom half of the right-side rear turn signal works left sidea unaffected. Installed myself. Ask the dealer ifnthey've heard of this happening and see what they say...

I was told by a parts manager to go with CD over the HD. Less expensive and better

That's good to hear. I hope I can say the same after 10K miles because I really like these Harley LED's.
