Then HD messed up. They put double filament bulbs in both my rear lights AND double filament sockets in both rear lights from the factory. My front turn/running lights, from the factory, are single filament.

 

Well, I guess they've made a change in the way they are doing it then in the recent years.

Just installed a load equalizer on my bike, it has single filament bulbs and they work as brake run turn just fine

 

I guess you didn't read my post. From the factory my 48 has single filament in front(running & turn) and dual filament in rear(running, turn & brake). Yours may be different. I'm trying to figure out my situation.

 

Just find some 1157 red bulbs and you'll be fine. That's what I did and have been running them like that for over a year. 1157 in red is what you'll need.

 

Thanks.

 

The late model bikes without a fender mounted brake light use the turn signals as brake lights. They take a 1157 bulbs. There are red 1157 bulbs avalable but all the ones I found look more pink than red. They make 1157 led bulbs but very few fit due to the housing for the LEDs attached to the 1157 bottom, trust me I have tried many.
The part stores do not carry standard 1157 bulbs in red. You have to order them.
I suggest you search eBay for red 1157 bulbs, jus make sure they say they will fit Harley signal housings.

 

You can always use $ radiance led panels $ avalable from custom dynamics.

 

My buddy had the 1157 red bulbs. After all the "nice pink lights" comments he pulled them for red lenses. I have smoke lenses on my rides & I switched to LED's with run/brake/turn signals. Great move!

 

I have a 2012 48 and had the same problem. Go to the dealer and they have dark red bulbs. I couldn't find them at the local car part shops. I got a pair for like 4 dollars and they work as they are supposed to.
