I saw that thread, but it's almost 10 years old.

I had Motogadget bar end turn LED signals on my Dyna Fat Bob and they were great. I'm thinking of using those blinkers for the front and the rear "winglet" turn signals from Heinz on my 2018 Soft Bob, but am looking for proper user reviews....

Due to their size they aren't nearly as bright as the CD led signals, but they do "cleanup" the handle bars. BTW I am only using them on the front.

Here’s what I did. I took a dremel and ground down the reflector socket hole just enough to get the bulb to go in that little bit more.
Ive done it on 3 different sets of lights. No problem.

I just buy these and use my dremel to trim the corners off of the white part. I have done a few different sets like this for my buddies and have zero issues. I like them and they are bright. Plus they look good with the stock reflector.

Thanks! Would you say they are brighter than the OEM incandescents?

BTW - I know the problems with trying to show brightness of bulbs in pics. They always look brighter in real life....

Hard to say...they might be brighter, but not as noticeable. Not sure if that makes any sense.

Dremel on the bulbs sounds better than the socket housings. If these end up not fitting will give it a shot.
