Thank you !! I’m doing mine right now . I didnt have a marker so I took a picture of board closeup . The beveled side is pretty easy to see . I’ve found so far the hardest part is soldering the new light on . Getting it to stay still in the right spot but all n all its going pretty smooth . Thank you for the lesson!
Thanks for this video. I just did this to mine. I'm curious as to how you ensure your needle is at true zero on re assembly? I put mine back on and plugged it in and it moves off zero when powered up.
I put these in, same ones you show here. They don’t seem as bright as the factory. Now I don’t have them back in the bike, but they immediately appear much more dim. Thoughts?
Which ones do you actually replace if you are wanting to change colors? All of them? Certain ones. All the videos I’ve watch have only shown how to do one and not specific ones.
can you please tell me if that gauge faceplate is silver or white? can't quite tell from the video. thanks. i've been trying to find a white gauge that looks OEM but i've only been able to find silver. but if silver actually looks kinda 'white' then that might work
I found that it's easier to just use the existing solder it's faster and cleaner..I had 2 LED not making good contact so the rest of the lights didn't light up. Once I reheated them .they all worked good
I changed mine on my 20/20 road glide the gas and the voltage gauge lights up and turns off but my speedometer and tiger stays continuously blue what did I do wrong please help me
The led’s on the speedo are ok. It’s the speedo needle itself that’s not lighting up. Is it internal on the needle or what? Don’t want to tear into it until I find out.
what year gauge? I was watching another video, that shows the gauge plate popping out....I will attempt this on my 2004 flh to change the led. But curious about the plate...I would like to reuse it..and not damage it. Thank you
By the way Thanks for the video. you can get them done from a guy name Marty but you;ll have to send your gauges to him and radio and hope they don't come back broken. I would rather try myself. If you don't tinker with things already you may not want to try this at home. but no need to trash what others share..
How do you power the lights up without plugging them into the bike I am doing my lights but want to check on my work before plugging them into my bike?
RIPPAS77CLASSIC to my knowledge that’s the only way to test it unless you know what the voltage and run a separate power supply. I tested mine while the bike was still apart by just plugging it in and turning it on. No need to put it all back together just to test it.
I've done this on a few bikes now. Recently dismantled a gauge from a 2005 road glide and it looks completely different. the needle led's are SMD's but the others are not. can you change the non surface mounted diodes ?
hey man, just wondering if you ever figured out the smaller leds around the needle? i need to order some of them for my gauges but not sure what the part number is?
@@oTHEBIGBADWOLFo Either 0805 SMD Red, or PLCC-2 SMD Red. I think it was the 0805’s or else I simply used the others as well, as they fit too, just was a little tougher to solder cause the pins were closer together because of the OEM smaller LED’s.
when you receive leds are they in a strip? If so how do you remove from strip without cutting contacts. and which Leds on board will change needle color?

Found this video, bought the leds and thanks to you I was able to do it
btw 2007 Fatboy not exactly like your but it help
That’s awesome glad I could help
Where did you find the led’s?
I put these in, same ones you show here.

Hi can you tell
How mutch MCD need the led's to be ? The light strength....
There are lots of different strength to buy ...

NICE JOB!..........dunno if my old fingers are steady enough for this anymore. Guess the Tach and Speedometer will stay bright
Gonna try it

What's the part number we for led light replacement

Do you know what size led to use for a neutral light on a 2008 Sportster
How many leds are there in total?
I've done this on a few bikes now. Recently dismantled a gauge from a 2005 road glide and it looks completely different. the needle led's are SMD's but the others are not. can you change the non surface mounted diodes ?
Kristi Brown I have the same question.. did you ever find out?
hi can i send you my speedometer and gas gauge to put bright white leds????my face book messenger is scooter richardelle
Where’d you purchase your LED chips from? Also, the small needle LED’s, did you swap them too, as they’re much smaller?
hey man, just wondering if you ever figured out the smaller leds around the needle? i need to order some of them for my gauges but not sure what the part number is?
@@oTHEBIGBADWOLFo I did. Swapped them out myself. Bought from lighthouse LED’s. Was easy to do and looks great.
@@Darren4341 any chance you have the part number for the smaller ones around the needle, from lighthouse?

@@oTHEBIGBADWOLFo Either 0805 SMD Red, or PLCC-2 SMD Red. I think it was the 0805’s or else I simply used the others as well, as they fit too, just was a little tougher to solder cause the pins were closer together because of the OEM smaller LED’s.
@@oTHEBIGBADWOLFo Update…I found the picture I took after the install. I used the same LED’s all around, the PLCC-2’s all around.

what year is your bike
2013
Probably shouldn't put a PCB on carpet, ESD could cause issues
It was fine
All this just to change the color of your background lighting? Fuck, I don't hate mine that bad...
There is some companies that do it do 150-200$
Some people have more money than brains... As long as I can see my gauges after dark, I'm good...
I cringed when I seen him prying up the leds on the board that's how u rip the solder pads off!
This is for a 2013
Nick Tudor can i send mine to you and you do it
what year are your gauges?
please,can you give me a number for red led, who match does from harley so i would be able to order does led,i just c'ant find no num. to match
