Important Tips and Troubleshooting:
- Dielectric grease does not need to be used with this LED product, it can actually prevent them from working.
- Make sure you have the base orientation correct before inserting the base. If it seems hard to twist in the socket, it’s probably in the wrong way.
- Harley Davidson® Bullet turn signals may require trimming of black gasket to fully seat lens.
- If you experience issues with function, clean the bottom contacts, then re-insert. Also, try in the other turn signal socket.
- This LED Product is BCM Compliant. If installing on 2011 and newer Softails®, 2012 and newer Dynas®, or any 2014 & newer model Harley Davidson®, it is recommended to run the 4 way hazards for 5 minutes to re-sync the CanBus system. No load equalizer or Smart Signal Stabilizer™ is needed for these models.
