You also need the box under the seat if you are converting from a two wire system.

I used nightster take off parts to convert my "C" to a bobbed rear.

If you just need a replacement, the stealer will gladly give you the number

i emailed the dealer i bought the bike from and haven't heard back yet. i also searched ebay and used google, not to mention the classifieds here and have come up empty handed. looks like the previous owner dropped the bike as both rear turn signals, along with the tail lamp have some nice scratches on them. painting is out of the question

You can use any 3 wire front (stock) signal and paint or powdercoat them black. The "all-in-one" deal doesn't have anything to do with the lights themselves. BUT the threads are different so you'll need to figure that out.

OR, if all you're concerned about is the appearance, you can get any similar looking Sportster rear turn signal housing and simply transplant your "guts" into it...and paint or powdercoat them black of course.

i chopped the rear fender and eliminated the brake/run light. i will probably use the badlands setup for the brake/turn/run. my turn signals are gouged right on the sides so they are very noticable

If you're using the badlands unit (or the HD unit for that matter) you don't want Nightster lights. You'll need plain old 2 wire Sportster rear turn signals...and a pair of red lenses. With the module you're talking about the 2 wire turn signals will operate exactly like the Nightsters do.

So if i'm using nightster tail lights I dont need the box, correct? Is it just cut and splice?

Would I still need a load equalizer?

Sorry, still learning...

Thanks,
Chris

edit: dealer came through with part numbers, but still need an answer to the above
