Instrument Cluster Lights
« on: May 06, 2015, 12:48:11 PM »

Is there a way to change the colours of your stock instrument LED's with a module of some sort.  The manual states if bulbs burn out you have to replace the circuit board.  My ride is a 2011 FLTRUSE.

On my 06 it was a simple bulb change, i would think yours would be the same.

Superbrite let's has most any color you want, but the speedo and tach are not replaceable.

Starting in 2008, they changed the indicator lamps from a bulb type to an LED assembly.  Unless they've changed something I missed since then, there are no bulb sockets, the LED's are not replaceable, and you have to buy the assembly for approximately $55 msrp.

Btw, I assumed when you said indicator lights you were talking about the dash indicator lights (turn signals, neutral, oil pressure, etc.), and that is the module I mentioned above.  If you're talking about the lighting for the actual gauges, like the speedo, tach, voltmeter, fuel gauge, oil pressure gauge, and the highly valued air temp gauge, see the post by phato 1 for aftermarket solutions.

That explains why the 09 I just picked up has brighter lights. Damn I hope they last a long time. I'm sure Harley did there due diligence when selecting the supplier.  Sure lowest price is the best.  :o

The Tach and Speedo are sealed units... but you can do what I did, send them here:    http://www.bluegauges.com/index2.htm
Don't let the site name fool you he does a variety of colors. I did have mine done in blue to match the bike and they came out fantastic. My advice is wait until you're done riding for the season because it took about 10 days from the date I shipped them to him to the day I got them back.

The other gauges are much easier. You  just go here: https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/miniature-wedge-base/194-led-bulb-4-led-wedge-base/198/  I purchased an assortment of the 194 LED wedge base with differing numbers of LED's and beam angles then just installed the different ones until I found one that provided the lighting I wanted.

You can also go to gaugemods.com Jim is very good. Its $125 for the 2 gauges any color including any needle color, and 4 led 's of the color of your choice for your dash gauges, including return shipping and lifetime warranty. Sent mine on Weds, would have been back by Sat but Post Office aint that reliable sometimes.
