Where do you find the Wled-rh5 bulbs listed on their website?  Or maybe I copied the bulb # wrong.     spyder

Had the same problem finding them.  You need to scroll down the selections to the WLED-__HP5.  There is a drop down menu where you will see the "R" designation which refers to the color of the LED.  Click on the RHP5 and you got it.  The bulbs are $5.95 each, order 5 minimum.

Not sure there is any relationship between one and the other.  My dash lights are five years old and I can't see any reason why the LED's would not last just as long in this application.  Only time will tell, the results are worth it and the expense is minimal.

how long have the led's been in place before the replacement was neede ? No doubt the greater back lighting is a huge improvement from the oem wedge bulb.

Just installed them today, the one that went bad, apparently was bad out of the box, never worked.  I was able to fix it later by adjusting the prongs on the bulb where it plugs into the socket

Thanks for the info Pete

I put the Wled-rh5 bulbs in my 09 & 10 CVO UCs late last summer and at first I didn't like them. They were much brighter than the speedo & tach but now I'm used to them. I like them despite all my night riding. One thing I learned: If you put them in with wrong polarity they don't work. Flip them upside down and it fixes the problem.

I was hearing that they 'matched' the brightness of the Speedo/Tach.  Sorry to read this after I just pulled the trigger and order 2 sets.     aaaargh.  spyder

Don't worry yet Spyder.  The 09 bikes look different than ours when I've seen them side by side at night lit up.  You might be just fine (or mine might be showing a time induced variation ).

Or the good news is your both old enough that you may not remember in the morning anyway

Spyder,

Don't worry they match, it's just that you are so used to the barely lit gauges that when they are finally lit properly it looks like they're brighter than the speedo/tach.

Btw, I thought the 09 and 10 models came with all sealed gauges, how could LEDs be installed???
