Back to this light....

Now that you've got me thinking about it.... How easy/what is required to install it??

Please tell me it is a PITA and will require cutting wires or metal so I can cross it off the wishlist.

You need a gas torch and a plasma cutter.

Or...

On your bike it'd be no more difficult than changing the rear lens assembly.  There's an amp style plug that hangs off the back of the lens and plugs in to a socket in the light housing in the fender.  Unplug the old light.  Plug in the new one.  Put the two screws through the lens back in.

On the old Road Glide there was only one more small detail.  Those little LED lights in the light bar get power from the same socket.  So you have to open up the amp style connector, remove that one pin, insert it in the new socket, then mount the lens on the back.  Took ten minutes on the old SERG.  Would take five minutes on the SEEG.

Damn you, damn you, damn you!!!!! You aren't helping me save $$$ at all.

Ok.. thought just came to mind.... If LED bulbs blow out on this set up will you have to replace entire assembly or can you replace bulb(s)? I know LED's last longer... but I'm searching for reasons I shouldn't do this.

It's an assembly.  But it's not "a bulb."  Lot's of LEDs.  Your state regs you posted the other day considered it passing state inspection if half the LED segments lit.  In practice they do last a long time.  It's not a large enough concern to be a real worry.  If the Mrs won't let you have one that's ok.  Just don't blame the poor little LED segments .

No it isn't.  68116-08 illuminates a license plate below the lens.  Like the SEEGs would need.  This one is 68085-08 and shines on a license plate over rather than under the brake light.  There's a smoked version of the up or down illuminating lenses also.

Like the SEEG²'s would need..... the SEEG's have the license above the light.

That's right.  The good SEEGs have the license plate up high.  The old SEEGs have it down low.  My bad .
