Good stuff! Found your video cause I've already found the same lights and headlight and was looking for some real world examples of install and after effect. Nice work, thumbs up! I'll also be replacing the rears and adding the triple play unit so that all of my rear lights flash a few times before being solid when on the brake. Can't wait!
lol, totally thought the same thing! But I've got the new lights installed, have drag bars and new grips setting on my desk, and new tail lights coming next week. SO... gonna hold off on the re-recording for now, but soon, haha
Thanks for the video's I am a new HD rider. I'm still getting use to ride in the streets I use to ride dirt bike and I still ride mountain bike but riding a HD is So different at least to me. Thanks again and be safe. 🤘🏼
I’m curious, you didn’t need a Load Equalizer for these? I had installed regular LEDs in the rear, no issues. I installed LEDs in the front, and the “security light” came on. Come to find out, there’s something incompatible with LEDs with the front. Where you need to install a Load Equalizer. Any suggestions? Thanks
Love them Block. Did ur turn signals have running lights original, before changing to LED? I ordered a different Brand, but the running lights didnt work. Only the turn signals...
Hi. Thanks for the informative video. I am planning to get these for my 2020 Iron 883. Do you know which ones would go for the back? 1156 or 1157? I am in Canada but mine is the US edition without the tail light on the rear fender. Thanks😊
What sought of modification is needed to make turn signals to be day running so that if i turn on ignition, both front turn signals along with headlight should come up.
Hey blockhead, have a iron 883 2016, the turn signals are not day time running standard, as in there only indicators. will this convert them to be day time running? Awesome channel btw!
Installed these today on my sportster 72, did you have any problem getting the lenses to snap in after installing the leds? my smoked lenses seem to stick out a bit on one side and dont go in flush.
Hey Blockhead, Firstly I love your blogs.... but I have a problem with my custom dynamic front dual blinkers which I purchased from Amazon US . On the product description/ picture it shows the connecting ends have 1 pin ( which is what my 2017 883 front bullet insert has) and when they arrived in Australia after waiting patiently for 3 weeks they have 2 pins and after several attempt they won’t twist into place...any suggestions 🤙🏻
Looksssss goood bro!.... I actually did the rear first because i wanted to make sure people can see the bright AF LED lights when im at a light (hopefully they do)..... I got the front too but waiting to get an LED headlight..... Also need a load equalizer for all LEDs to work properly if im not mistaking...... Hopefully you do as well so we can see a DIY on that lol...... Bike is looking awesome!!!
I've heard you do need a load equalizer. Actually I think +Bike N' Bird has LEDs in front and rear, as in his videos, his lights blink pretty fast. Would that be better for people seeing you, if the light is blinking faster? Not sure, haha. But yeah, if it requires a load equalizer, which I've read it does to slow the blinking down, then I'll make a How To on it! :)
Is anything else needed on a 2013, with the whole LED conversion if you did rears too, i know some older stuff you need to replace the relay, or put in resisters?
My iron 883 is 2016 and it has a different kind of lights 1156 type not the same as yours 1157 type I don't know will it work and fit? Or the light housing can fit both types?
Are these good quality, how were they on a long run? The last LED I got online was not sealed properly and fogged up one side after first rain, the other side started not working after 3 months :(
Can the rear taillight lenses be changed, coz I was told the lenses at the back are sealed into the light assembly. I wanted smoked lenses at the rear too
on my own sportster the rear signal are not permanently sealed if that's what you mean. They're just like the front ones with a removable lens. For example if my bulb went out and i needed to change it (which has happened before and is how I am able to tell you this) all I need to do is remove the rear signal front lets, pull the bulb out, put a new one in, push the lens back on and voila, done.
hey, do you get a can-bus error with this or is it 100% compatible? i"m new in all this harley stuff so i"m asking.. :) thanks for all your helpful videos man!! also bought a sportster 883 two weeks ago
What's the fix if you do get the can bus error light? I have a red led strip connected to my brake lights. Worried if I connect this LED light as well if it will trigger this error.
Hello bro. Its amazing I cant found this .I'm from greece .can you help me please. It's to meny lights like that but specifically this item is that what I need .thank you
I'm pretty sure the only bulbs that will burn out from finger oils are halogen. Regular incandescent and LED don't get hot enough, nor are they as sensitive.
Well it looks cool either way. 😜 I am a locksmith, & after I watched that series on Netflix called Dexter, I started carrying a pair of gloves in my pocket. Lasted about a week. Haha
I think that's not allowed on Europe. Our turn signal are always off, just turn on when you need to indicate a movement. So if I put that lights, maybe my bike won't be able to pass the security annual inspection. But looks awesome dude.
I actually already have the rear LEDs purchased, but haven't installed yet as I need access to a motorcycle lift. Working some things out soon hopefully! And cool on the front LEDs man, glad to be of help! Ride safe!
BLOCKHEAD looking forward to that video for sure. For the rear LED'S what part # did you purchase? Was it GEN-200-R-1156 or R-1157? I'm a lil confused? Thanks
BLOCKHEAD Oh okay you went with Arlen Ness, I thought you got the Custom Dynamics rear LED's....all good man. Can't wait to see that chopped rear fender with the rear LED's. Like your videos, keep doing your thang!
Yeah man I had to go smaller with the rears, the current tail lights that are there stick out too much for my taste, and they look like little rocket boosters, haha. Thanks for the kind words man, ride safe!
I clicked on the light description on your link and on Amazon the light says it's only a single white ring around the yellow ring but in your video the white light looks like all the LEDs are white and then all the LEDs turn yellow so is there a difference between the lights cuz I want to buy these but I want them to look solid not cheap
It's only a singe white ring around the yellow, that's correct. You can't see that it's just a single ring b/c they're so bright, even in person. Doesn't look cheap at all.
BLOCKHEAD ok I'll take ur advise and get them. I had to show ur video to my wife to convince her to get them for Xmas. Keep up the awesome videos, definitely more how to's. Great job all around, thank you for making them!
Had a hard time installing these they just wouldnt turn. But finally got it. Then i got the inserts for the rear and they just will not turn i cannot get them to stay in at all.😢
Thanks man, really appreciate it. You actually inspired me to get a Harley. I'm getting the Forty Eight here not to long from now hopefully! Keep it up with the great video content!
Got the same thing lights And mine DID NOT GO ON TH AS T EASY AT ALL! Had to use a flat screwdriver n push the factory rubber gaskets in the turn signals back as far as they'd go before the covers would fully go on .never say or think OH IT'LL BE A PIECE OF CAKE ...
The customer service at the eBay Store was able to change my order to W1157 at the very last minute so all good. Thanks blockhead luv the vids man helping me out tons with all the things I want to do to my iron. Cheers bruh !
Cool as F*** I too (bit late for that comment) am now a proud owner of an 883! Love your Low Rider S ! In the comments you said that your Indicators are always on, is this a setting thing that you did? as here in Germany they are not and J&P Cycles told me that in the USA they are not always on, hope you can shed some light on this Q?
+Barry McArthur The amber DRL's are always on in the front stock, and for the custom dynamic switchback LED's, not a setting I changed. Just plugged em in and that's how they work.
Pre-can bus models need a load equalizer, this might be the reason why your system is not working properly do some research. Let me know how this turns out for you I believe 2007 and Up harley models, I have seen on Custom Dynamics statements, also UA-cam check your haley davidson company also if needed.

Dude, thank you!! This video was very well instructed. For my skill set, it took me longer, and I also did the rear lights.
Good stuff! Found your video cause I've already found the same lights and headlight and was looking for some real world examples of install and after effect. Nice work, thumbs up! I'll also be replacing the rears and adding the triple play unit so that all of my rear lights flash a few times before being solid when on the brake. Can't wait!
Loving the LED upgrades.
thanks for the info on the headlight and turn signals. Just put mine on over the weekend. Nice upgrade. Easy to install.
Now you're going to have to reshoot the outro haha. Loving the vids man, keep em coming.
lol, totally thought the same thing! But I've got the new lights installed, have drag bars and new grips setting on my desk, and new tail lights coming next week. SO... gonna hold off on the re-recording for now, but soon, haha
Can I run the yellow headlight cap with the new LEDs? Will it make a difference?
Thanks for the video's I am a new HD rider. I'm still getting use to ride in the streets I use to ride dirt bike and I still ride mountain bike but riding a HD is So different at least to me. Thanks again and be safe. 🤘🏼
Yeah much different than off road bikes, but you slowly get acclimated to it. Ride safe out there!
Quick question: are the self-cancelling signals affected by the LED install?
shouldn't be
Thanks for all the tutorials 👍
Got the same hd as you bud .like the tips and tricks .use it alot and led signals are next for me
i have the same 883 from 2019, and my lightning bulb on has one pole. Apparently yours, and other reviews that i saw, has bulbs with two poles...
I’m curious, you didn’t need a Load Equalizer for these?
I had installed regular LEDs in the rear, no issues.
I installed LEDs in the front, and the “security light” came on.
Come to find out, there’s something incompatible with LEDs with the front. Where you need to install a Load Equalizer.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Nice. Was looking at those. Didn't realize it was that easy to change. Looks good.
Very easy to install. So easy... you could do it in 5 mins, in a parking garage with no tools, haha
BLOCKHEAD lol
What year is your Sporty? Just wondering if those LED’s will work on my 2013…?
Thanks!
Dude!! Awesome!!! If you ever in the NoVA area and need another Iron BLOCKHEAD to ride with... let me know lol
Love them Block. Did ur turn signals have running lights original, before changing to LED? I ordered a different Brand, but the running lights didnt work. Only the turn signals...
Hi. Thanks for the informative video.
I am planning to get these for my 2020 Iron 883.
Do you know which ones would go for the back? 1156 or 1157?
I am in Canada but mine is the US edition without the tail light on the rear fender.
Thanks😊

Hey blockhead, have a iron 883 2016, the turn signals are not day time running standard, as in there only indicators. will this convert them to be day time running? Awesome channel btw!
Are there matching LED rear lights available?
Installed these today on my sportster 72, did you have any problem getting the lenses to snap in after installing the leds? my smoked lenses seem to stick out a bit on one side and dont go in flush.
Would these lights turning signals auto deletes and the headlights work on a 2020 Iron 883?? Love the page. Keep it up dude.
Hey Blockhead,
Firstly I love your blogs.... but I have a problem with my custom dynamic front dual blinkers which I purchased from Amazon US .

looks real nice, I wasn't sure how they would look on my iron, I need to real get those...
Glad you like!
Looksssss goood bro!.... I actually did the rear first because i wanted to make sure people can see the bright AF LED lights when im at a light (hopefully they do)..... I got the front too but waiting to get an LED headlight..... Also need a load equalizer for all LEDs to work properly if im not mistaking...... Hopefully you do as well so we can see a DIY on that lol...... Bike is looking awesome!!!
626nla you shouldn't need one because LEDs run at a less voltage needed
wartybubble for realllll....... Okay cool ill definitely check it out this weekend.
I've heard you do need a load equalizer. Actually I think +Bike N' Bird has LEDs in front and rear, as in his videos, his lights blink pretty fast. Would that be better for people seeing you, if the light is blinking faster? Not sure, haha. But yeah, if it requires a load equalizer, which I've read it does to slow the blinking down, then I'll make a How To on it! :)
I thought that's why you needed a load equalizer, b/c the LED's are getting too much, hence why they blink faster?
no they take the same voltage but hey I could be wrong either way do the homework on it
what happen if i still use the amber cover instead of changing it into the smoke? I like the amber accent on my Slim S so it looks classic, thank you
do you have a tutorial for deleting tail lights and just having turn signals?
Hey, what kind of mirrors are these? Tried to flip mine with cheap aftermarket’s but they don’t tilt up enough.
Hi, thanks for your instructive vidéo! How many lumens for this led ? It shines how far?
Is anything else needed on a 2013, with the whole LED conversion if you did rears too, i know some older stuff you need to replace the relay, or put in resisters?
Damn, those look nice and bright!
My iron 883 is 2016 and it has a different kind of lights 1156 type not the same as yours 1157 type I don't know will it work and fit?
Or the light housing can fit both types?
Great video as usual, followed ur link to amazon for the LED turn signals, doesnt say if it will fir my Sprtster 72
Are these good quality, how were they on a long run? The last LED I got online was not sealed properly and fogged up one side after first rain, the other side started not working after 3 months :(
Can the rear taillight lenses be changed, coz I was told the lenses at the back are sealed into the light assembly. I wanted smoked lenses at the rear too

What about load resistors?? I have a 2011 48 - does it need them or no?
I had these added to my 883 Iron too. Can't wait to drop the mirrors and replace the stock seat...it sucks!
I can't get the new led connecrion to lock in place. I pushed in turned quarter turn clockwise. Any suggestions?
Would these work on a uk Iron??? My turn signals are just that not running lights
Might need to update the wiring
Cool video, I really like that headlight cover!
Thanks!
Man great video , I just have one question, How did you install the turn signals right under the bar ?
believe that is the stock location on an Iron. I know its confusing because the 48 stock has em on the fork - Not sure which I like better
Thanks for the tip, and that is my next project. It is cool in your bike.
Did u not get the hyper flash with adding the LED's ? I had to add 2 resistors
It started to at first but remedied itself. Not sure why, maybe had something to do w/ leaving the hazards on for a minute *shrug*
hey, do you get a can-bus error with this or is it 100% compatible? i"m new in all this harley stuff so i"m asking.. :) thanks for all your helpful videos man!! also bought a sportster 883 two weeks ago
No can-bus error if you only do the fronts. If you do the rears LED as well, then you get a CEL on the gauge (little red key light.)
thanks dude!
What's the fix if you do get the can bus error light? I have a red led strip connected to my brake lights. Worried if I connect this LED light as well if it will trigger this error.
Did you need to use a load equalizer for those led's inserts?
Add to my question, if you do all 4 corners led inserts on a 2013 sportster forty eight will I need a load equalizer?
Did you check if you need to install a load equalizer
Did you have to put in load resistors
Does these work on Dyna Street Bob too? Same amazon links? Nice video man...
+Stefano De Prophetis I believe so, so long as the light is the same size. Just had 2 friends that ride Dynas install this on theirs and works.
Hello bro. Its amazing I cant found this .I'm from greece .can you help me please. It's to meny lights like that but specifically this item is that what I need .thank you
I'm pretty sure the only bulbs that will burn out from finger oils are halogen. Regular incandescent and LED don't get hot enough, nor are they as sensitive.
Yeah you're right for sure! I just wear them for good measure, plus keeps the grease off my hands from removing the stock bulbs :)
Well it looks cool either way. 😜
I am a locksmith, & after I watched that series on Netflix called Dexter, I started carrying a pair of gloves in my pocket. Lasted about a week. Haha
Thank you for making this, it really helped!
I think that's not allowed on Europe. Our turn signal are always off, just turn on when you need to indicate a movement.
So if I put that lights, maybe my bike won't be able to pass the security annual inspection.
But looks awesome dude.
Yo, are you going to get the rear LED's? I bought the front LED's just cause of the super easy install video. Good shit man!
I actually already have the rear LEDs purchased, but haven't installed yet as I need access to a motorcycle lift. Working some things out soon hopefully! And cool on the front LEDs man, glad to be of help! Ride safe!
BLOCKHEAD looking forward to that video for sure. For the rear LED'S what part # did you purchase? Was it GEN-200-R-1156 or R-1157? I'm a lil confused? Thanks
Arlen Ness 12-741 Black Bolt-On Turn Signal with Power LED Accent. It was these here: a.co/5sYtsLz
BLOCKHEAD Oh okay you went with Arlen Ness, I thought you got the Custom Dynamics rear LED's....all good man. Can't wait to see that chopped rear fender with the rear LED's. Like your videos, keep doing your thang!
Yeah man I had to go smaller with the rears, the current tail lights that are there stick out too much for my taste, and they look like little rocket boosters, haha. Thanks for the kind words man, ride safe!
does it change the Yellow color?
i think i want to change it's, from the yellow one to the same color of the led. Can it?
I clicked on the light description on your link and on Amazon the light says it's only a single white ring around the yellow ring but in your video the white light looks like all the LEDs are white and then all the LEDs turn yellow so is there a difference between the lights cuz I want to buy these but I want them to look solid not cheap

Just bought a sporty. Gotta have these
man, those leds look realy nice! Do you know if they fit on Forty Eight stock turn signals?
How big are they (dimensions)?
Yup, they'll fit the 48 signals, just installed some on our 48!
thanks man
They dont fit in a European 48 :(
I tried it yesterday :(
Super easy looks cool!
Had a hard time installing these they just wouldnt turn. But finally got it. Then i got the inserts for the rear and they just will not turn i cannot get them to stay in at all.😢
These are sick!
"Make sure it works, HOLY SHIT it works." hahahaha LEL.
lol, always a good feeling
Hey I tried to do these for the rear and now I get no power back there. All fuses are good as well
+ConditionRed Same company and LEDs? Not sure, should be getting power if you didn't mess with any of the wiring and it was straight plug and play.
Do they stay on all the time?
When the bike is on, they're on, yes. Just like your OEM running / indicator lights.
I want these exact lights,but will I need a load equalizer if I just do my front turn signals with these? I have an 08 XL1200C thanks for any info
Nope, I don't have a load equalizer and I only have my fronts done. No hyper flash, so should be all good. Best of luck!
Great videos. Thanks!
hey motohead
can i use this led on royal enfield
Not sure! I'd call the company and ask for clarification. If these don't work, they might have something for you that will :)
tnx motohead pls ask them so that i can buy a pair for my royal enfield
I meant... if I were YOU, I'd call the company to ask. So... you should and ask, lol.
BLOCKHEAD tnx motohead
I believe if yours are 1157's you'll be fine. 1156s are the rears on Harleys.
hi, i have a sportster from 2003. This turn signals will be fit to my model? I have a normal bulb 12v nothing more. can you help me? :)
i have the same question about daymaker :)
Thank u mr.block h
Very helpfull, thumbs ups
Awesomeness! Thanks!
Hey blockhead, do you know if these will fit on a 2011 Harley Forty Eight? Get back to me if you can thanks!
Yes they will 👍🏼
Thanks man, really appreciate it. You actually inspired me to get a Harley. I'm getting the Forty Eight here not to long from now hopefully! Keep it up with the great video content!
The 48's a great bike! Glad the channel has helped, appreciate the kind words and support! :)
same steps with back turn lights??
Whats up, can anyone tell how can i order those led lights pls!!
Link in description 👍🏼
BLOCKHEAD Thanks so much . Just got my led turnsignals was wondering what headlights would match in terms of brightness
How can the white light remain ON if you don’t bypass the indicators switch ? Mmmmmmm.....
Got the same thing lights And mine DID NOT GO ON TH AS T EASY AT ALL! Had to use a flat screwdriver n push the factory rubber gaskets in the turn signals back as far as they'd go before the covers would fully go on .never say or think OH IT'LL BE A PIECE OF CAKE ...
That's fire dog
¡El feugo!
Wowww thank you for your sharingg.. Wooohooooo
crap, I ordered 1156 for my 2012 iron by mistake 😐
I hope I can make them work when they show up 🙏
Not sure if they will or won't, here's hoping. Best of luck!
The customer service at the eBay Store was able to change my order to W1157 at the very last minute so all good.
Thanks blockhead luv the vids man helping me out tons with all the things I want to do to my iron.
Cheers bruh !
Nice man, that's awesome, glad they were able to change it for you before sending out!
They cost around £300 in the UK... Criminal! Love your work though!
Damn, what?! I got them off Amazon, check link in description. They're 300 GBP there even though Amazon uk?
BLOCKHEAD yep, that's off amazon. I can't show a screen shot of the craziness!
Cool as F***
I too (bit late for that comment) am now a proud owner of an 883! Love your Low Rider S ! In the comments you said that your Indicators are always on, is this a setting thing that you did? as here in Germany they are not and J&P Cycles told me that in the USA they are not always on, hope you can shed some light on this Q?
+Barry McArthur The amber DRL's are always on in the front stock, and for the custom dynamic switchback LED's, not a setting I changed. Just plugged em in and that's how they work.
I was the 883rd like. Assssaaaaaaadu.
Pre-can bus models need a load equalizer, this might be the reason why your system is not working properly do some research. Let me know how this turns out for you I believe 2007 and Up harley models, I have seen on Custom Dynamics statements, also UA-cam check your haley davidson company also if needed.
I just got my tnx men
