LED Motorcycle Fender Tips


I just love it when these cool new products come out. It's like Christmas morning for the motorcyclist every spring when the manufacturers introduce their new products. This is the latest one I have found to not only be decorative but also quite functional not to mention SAFE!
They are LED replacement fender tip lights for Harley Davidson models. They come in both Amber and RED and are available from 2 different suppliers.
The first one pictured above is by Radiantz and features 24 super bright SMT LED's in each tip. They are available in both red or amber and couldn't be any easier to install. Just pop off your fender tip lens, pull out the stock bulb, press in the new LED Fender Tip light, and re-install the lens. It's that simple. Now for the best part, everybody is going to ask if it needs a dual load equalizer, a diode, or a resistor of some sort to work? Nope! It just plugs in and works just like the stock bulb.

The 2nd style available is even better than the one above I just spoke about. It is a40 LED fender tip board that uses wide angle 5mm LED's made by Street Magic LEDs. This baby is just plain bright!!!
It works the same as the SMT style mentioned above as far as the installation process but it goes 1 step farther - The red one for the rear can be set up to be used as a running light and extra brake light. Yeah, you read that right. It has standard running light capabilities but also comes with a wiring harness so you can splice it into your brake light to work in conjunction with your stock taillight. Tis one comes with the LED Fender Tip board, brake light wiring harness, and connectors. With this style, you will have to cut the wires going to the taillight, but it all goes back together after the install using the supplied connectors.
If you have already converted your turn signals over to LED's, this is a fairly inexpensive way to "dress up" your fender tip lights as well. Both styles of LED fender tip lights can be found at www.ChromeGlow.com
