Harley LED Install

On 2014 and later CAN BUS models, a load equalizer is typically not needed for a Harley LED turn signal change over.

Pre-2014 models most always need the addition of a load equalizer in order to keep the turn signals flashing correctly.

Without a load equalizer, the signals will flash very rapidly, or in some instances not flash at all. Most load equalizers are simple plug and play. They are usually plugged in-line with the harness designated for the tail end of the motorcycle. Some equalizers need to be hard-wired, but that is more often the case with pre-’96 Evolution models or in more custom applications.

It is very important to verify correct light function before attempting to make any changes to the lighting on a motorcycle.

If you have a turn signal or taillight that is not operating properly, never move forward with the installation of a Harley LED light assembly. It is important that a diagnosis and repair is made before moving forward. Not doing so will often make a diagnosis more difficult and time consuming.

Mike gives us a demonstration using Harley LED signal lights from Custom Dynamics. There are many different options available depending on the make and model of your motorcycle.
