Title: Changing LED colors, LED fuel gauge
Post by: Richyunker on February 27, 2013, 06:12:11 AM: Has anyone changed the color LED's out? If so any problems or issues? I yesterday just ordered up a flush mount fuel gauge and gas cap kit for my ride, and desire to change the lights from blue to yellow/gold to match my ride. Any insight would be great, either way when the kit comes in next week, I will tackle it and post pictures and any issues I find in doing so.

I dismantled it today and un-soldered the seven surface mount LED's and now have the issue of sourcing the new replacement ones. During my research I have found the Blue LEDs and White ones have the same voltage reading of 3.2 to 3.6 volts. All of the other colors operate on 2.2 volts.

I was hoping to go with yellow or gold to match the paint scheme of the screaming deuce.

I will post more information as I continue with the project.

Harley offers the flush mount gauge in red. It was stock on the SERK3. Part number 63074-07B.

Wish me luck

Post by: Richyunker on May 06, 2013, 05:53:12 AM: ok, tested on the bike, gauge will not light up at all, not even the pump light with was not touched, either the new gauge is defective, or I destroyed it changing the color LED's.
