Was going to take a ride this afternoon and no power to the dash and just dead. Pulled the seat to check battery connections and sure enough loose and corroded. I had not checked them yet as I’ve had no issues and the bike for just 4 months. Saw a stray negative wire and surely knew what is was for. Hooked it up and waalaa, the Infinity Light that was on the bike when I bought it now works. LOL!

I have to say that's surprising, I ordered the same one in black for my Dyna, perfect fit with HD cover.

Pros:
- It’s way better looking than the cowbell.
- Any 5-hole timer cover can be used as the insert, which is awesome. I had an unused Harley Brass Collection sitting around, and that’s what you see in the pics.
Cons:
- A couple of the holes on the horn cover for the insert were not drilled very well. Timer cover screws are notoriously soft, so I had to take my time screwing them in/was careful not to overly tighten them.
- The cover exposes more of the horn bracket. I should have replaced the chrome bracket with a black one, which I’ll do as soon as I can get one.
- The OEM nut plates are a pain to get on the new cover, and it’s tough not to scratch the new cover tabs which they slide on to.
Yesterday I installed my new PathfinderLED head light bulb. Skipped the passing lights for the moment since they're such a pain to get at.
Went out riding between showers only to find that I have *NO* high beam now! When I switch to high, the passing lights go out & the high beam comes on for just a second then it all goes back to low beam & passing lights... Not a happy camper...

Quick update... kept mucking around with the light and also swapped the passing lights to LED.
So far, so good. Will find out more tomorrow after the rains go away...
The components are identical between Softail and Dyna with the exception of the shifter shaft. I needed a shorter one (which Mike who sells these kits machines up for me).
See below - stock Deluxe on top, Dyna for qse in the middle and deluxe for qse on the bottom.

Crappolla! After riding awhile the friggin' light is bonkers again! Click on high beam, passing lights go out (as normal) and high beam comes ONLY to immediately go back to low beam with passing lights on again...
Awaiting further advice from SOCALMOTOGEAR, the PathfinderLED people.

Totally frustrating. Feel your pain, but not much help I'm afraid...
Almost sounds like your hi beam switch is installed upside down. My bike has flash to pass or whatever you want to call it.
pushing down on the hi low switch will bring the hi beam on for a second. Rocking the switch up will turn on hi beam.
Is it possible the that switch might be the problem?
Not the black cover but the switch underneath it? Maybe when they installed cruise control.
I have never had one apart so not sure if this is even possible.
I wish it were that simple. Lights work properly at the beginning, but after riding a bit the demon takes over. I also do not have cruise control.
Folks at SoCal MotoGear are blaming it on "something with my bike" even though all works fine with the halogen bulb!
