Woo Hoo New LED Headlights

[Old Crow]

I received a set of Lamonster's LED headlights for Christmas.

Mechanically I'm marginal but have been into the Spyder deep enough to install the Longhorn run/turn lights which involves getting to the headlight connections. Any words of wisdom from those that have done the install? I've watched the video.

LED's are an improvement over OEM for sure. There are a couple brands out there that are great. You have one of them.

He did TWO video's , I hope you watched both .... I've a few LED headlite conversions and you will need an 8 or 10 inch extension for your ratchet to get the upper bolts out .... they are really deep into the cavity ..... Mike .............PS the headlites are esy - if you also plan to do the FOG lights be forewarned the left side is a B*tch & 1/2 ......good luck .... Mike

Get over your very normal fear / reluctance to cut into the plastic. You and your Spyder will be just fine!

Oh yeah. Be VERY nice to whoever gave you those for Christmas! They're a keeper and so are the lights!

You must have been VERY good this year:

I also got both sets during Black Friday from Tricled. I got the headlights in OK; took me 3 hours and cost me two deep cuts and a busted thumb. Don't ask.

I looked at the video on Youtube for installing the fog lights ( ). Looking at the fenders of the bike on the video, it appears to be a 2013 or earlier RT. My 2014 apparently has some more hidden fasteners; it doesn't open up as easily as on the video. As I was running out of daylight and it was getting chillier, I decided to wait for another day.

I had Led's put on in Maggie Valley this fall. Someone told me one light now is not working. When I checked the one was on but the lid for brights was not working. Any ideas on what is wrong.

The shutter is probably blocked, will need to reinstall 😩

I would start by checking the connections at the headlight and make sure the LED is seated correctly
