How To Install LED Tail Lights from MoonsMC for Harley

[@Kingepticon]

I installed the Moons tail light on my FXLRS last season. I also put the Moons black bezel on it so the whole thing is black. Love the look of it. It doesn't stick out like the stock tail light. Guerrilla Cables makes an extension cable that makes the install a lot easier.

[@MotoBlonde]

I got the cable from Moons but I know Guerrilla has a good one too! Do you have a 2020? I was under the impression the bezel doesn't fit the newer years?

[@Kingepticon]

@@MotoBlonde Yeah, 2020 FXLRS. Black bezel was 100% plug and play.

[@MotoBlonde]

@@Kingepticon I’ll have to check it out, maybe since I bought mine they updated it! I know a lot of guys who said it didn’t fit the 2020 - I keep putting off painting mine hoping to just get the bezel lol! Thanks!

[@nightmaremike1092]

Heyyy love the video thanks a million. Ima little confused so im doing the same thing you did which i just bought the moons light do i need a cable if im removing the side lights ? And the block off aswell?

[@nightmaremike1092]

By the way i have a dyna lowrider 2006 whats that cable called on moons website

[@robertmacdonald2735]

I have one also....super bright but sometimes a bit confusing for drivers behind you....when brake and signal lights are on...it's a lot going on in a small space so keep and eye on drivers behind you....make sure they know your intentions to turn. :)

[@MotoBlonde]

Thanks for the tip!

[@TalismanRocks]

I think the V3 release of the MoonsMC tail light corrected that situation.

[@williambeebe7285]

Just watched your video for the third time and I'm pretty confident that I can do the install. Can barely wait 'til my stuff from MoonsMC gets here. Also ordered the lay down license plate bracket. Hate to be such a copycat but the rear of your bike looks so good that I couldn't help myself.

[@MotoBlonde]

William Beebe Take your time and you’ll be fine!!! Excited for you, let me know how it turns out!!

[@williambeebe7285]

@@MotoBlonde Will do.

[@nightmaremike1092]

I did the exact same thing. Ordered instantly and felt like a copy cat lmaooo but think about it like this how many dynas you see around you feel me ? Lol 🤘🏻

[@aquahombre]

New taillight makes a big difference, looks great, nice work.

[@MotoBlonde]

Thank you!

[@Magnus0311]

Thinking about getting this too since I have to relocate or remove my rear signals for the leather pros bags. Good video.

[@jaytouvelle2359]

Doing the same as you

[@Magnus0311]

@@jaytouvelle2359 I did it man. It was much easier than I thought. Go for it. It’s awesome.

[@jaytouvelle2359]

@@Magnus0311 Now I need a cover for where the old rear turn signals were. Maybe the leather pros attachment go where the signals were and I don't need the cover.

[@MotoBlonde]

Hairycustoms.com he’s great!

[@BradCarter-i4x]

Great video. Can I ask why you changed the wiring harness? Was that necessary?

[@jaytouvelle2359]

Thanks Moon told me it would be a lot easier than reality of this video. Great job Can't wait to put mine on today. Your video really helped.

[@MotoBlonde]

Glad it helped!! Definitely can be even easier if you don't delete the signals!! Just plug and play!

[@paulson9616]

I got pulled over year ago here in SoCal for having intergrated tailight.... I definitely need to go back to this set up bc of leatherpro bags. Sometime it sucks riding in California especially around where I live....

[@MotoBlonde]

So frustrating!

[@surferdude642]

I put in an integrated turnsignal on my Yamaha FZ07 about three years ago and so far so good. I am in NorCal. I have found myself right in front of cops occasionally and no problems so far. Knock on wood. I actually tested my luck, I switched lanes legally with CHP approaching, left half of my taillight flashing. He followed behind for a short distance, then he moved to the left lane and took off. Does this validate that I'm ok with this setup? Not really, but I felt good about it.

[@paulson9616]

@@surferdude642 the law is bit strict here in SoCal especially in beach cities... I ordered my Alloy Arts Struts lights the other day so I can accommodate my LP bags... I am good now so far!!!

[@bikerbrinrac]

Yep taillight / blinker combo looking much better now 👍

[@MotoBlonde]

Thank you!

[@FXLRS]

Awesome video, I’m doing this tonight on my 2022 FXLRS. Thank you for the vid!

[@manborn]

Lov the video but how did you get the cover for old signal mounting

[@MotoBlonde]

It is linked in the description by Hairy Customs.

[@mike7197]

Did u replace an LED tail light with another LED light, or did u replace a stock bulb light with an LED? And if so did u have to add a resistor or load equalizer to make it work?

[@arcflash76]

Thank you for sharing this video on how to install this LED tail lights.

[@NeatFreq]

Thank you for posting this, definitely getting this for my Dyna

[@jettjensen4902]

Oh my I totally wish I would’ve seen this video before I cut harnesses and hard wired mine in. Didn’t even know they make harnesses for them

[@fps636]

Really slick upgrade. Very smooth. See you have the classic Harbor Freight Lift. I put a hand ratcheting Harbor Freight winch on the front of mine. My wife cranks me (the bike) right up on. (when bike won't run). Good vid., admire your wrenching skills.

[@MotoBlonde]

Thats a great idea! It's definitely narrow getting the baggers on it - but it works!

[@jimmyturbeville8753]

hello, just ran across your channel great job looks good to rode today it got up to 62 here at myrtle beach sc keep up the good work be safe out there,

[@MotoBlonde]

Perfect weather! Enjoy! Thanks for watching!

[@ianwoollard9008]

That was most helpful.👍👋👋. I have an All in One Tail Light on my Softail but in the UK turn signals have to be a certain distance apart by law so now i have to try & undo 19yr old rusty nuts & bolts & re-route my cables. Wish me luck. 😅

[@junesondrab3833]

Some LRS videos show their rear turn signals as plug n play LED's. My 2021 LRS has plug n play in the front but not the rear. I really like the front LED from Harley because when running, they are a bright white, which is what I want in the rear. Is there a conversion kit to convert the rear to plug n play?

[@cyberpunk4622]

Strobe feature is great, nice work on the install!

[@MotoBlonde]

Thank you!

[@geraldholtzclaw1761]

Good looking bike which model do you have? Not a big Harley fan but there a few models that I really like.

[@MotoBlonde]

Thanks! 2020 Low Rider S

[@erhrole]

Thanks for the video! Gonna do this tomorrow I picked up the wiring harness for Black Friday

[@MotoBlonde]

Awesome!

[@nystar01]

Did you fix the hyper flash on the dash? I watched this video a few time before installing mine and never noticed the hyper flash on the dash until after I installed mine.

[@josephcagiano3055]

Well now I’m sold on the moons option. Looks exactly what I was looking for on my Fxlrs. Thanks for the good vid 🤟🏻

[@MotoBlonde]

No problem! Thanks for watching!

[@Kingepticon]

Don't forget to buy the extension cable from Guerilla Cables. Makes the install that much easier. Moons also sell a black bezel if you don't like the stock chrome bezel.

[@JOHNJCLARK]

i love the bagger behind ya!!

[@Phunkshunz1]

Are you getting the hyper flash on your gauge? Fast blinking on the gauge, but normal signal speed from the taillight?

[@davesargent3043]

Commendable organization and tool handling.

[@awesomeandre1757]

My girl watched this with me... Even tho she was very sleepy. She says good job!

[@MotoBlonde]

Thank you!!

[@BikesBeardsAndBrews]

lo profile looks cooler for sure though I'd totally chop the fender and lose it all together and side mount the plate like the wideglides

[@MotoBlonde]

When I first got the bike, I was gonna chop it and slam it to the tire and go a whole different way - but I decided to go full on Dyna Bro instead

[@davidmguire5726]

Can you send me the link to the cap fullers when you take off the bullet blinkers

[@MC-eq8sm]

Will it light properly your lay down license plate?

[@pichitraboonyasit6518]

Awesome vid. Btw, which moonsmc wire harness you use? I'm thinking about getting the same tail light but couldn't find the wire extension. Any suggestions??

[@MotoBlonde]

Thanks for watching! This is the one I bought from Moons - www.moonsmc.com/products/moonsmc-2018-2020-m8-softail-rear-fender-harness

[@junesondrab3833]

Did you like the Michelin Scorchers

[@wilsta67]

looks awesome well done!

[@Mark_Estelle]

How did you fix the hyperflash issue on the Digital Guage. The signals flash normal at the Taillight but, when you look down at the Guage it is hyperflashing?

[@usualsuspects43]

Dumb newbie question. I’m new to bikes, would I want to disconnect anything on the battery? Before messing with anything electrical?

[@GalvTexGuy]

Looks great! Awesome detailed installation that will be helpful for anyone to follow. Good job! 👍🏻

[@MotoBlonde]

Appreciate that!

[@mariahm.7199]

How did you get the reflectors off without ruining the paint? 🥰

I have a video on how to remove them!

[@mariahm.7199]

@@MotoBlonde I saw it thank you!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰 so awesome I love your stuff!

[@aaronduthoit1278]

Looks awesome. You should have swapped out the tail light base from chrome to a black custom dynamics one at the same time

[@MotoBlonde]

Definitely going to black that out in the future!

[@simonhouel1984]

Nope ! MoonsMc and Custom Dynamics base plates do NOT fit the 2018+ Softails. I tried my luck anyway ... and I regreted it.

[@MotoBlonde]

@@simonhouel1984 I have heard some people get away with them and others say absolutely don’t fit - I bought spray paint so I think I’m gonna try that and hopefully not mess it up too bad 🤣

[@roughrider6547]

Guest using Locktite on all your fasteners so they don't loosen up after you are done.

[@03US11MC]

I Have a 2021 lowrider s. I ordered the black tail light frame and the V3 and the electrical harness. The black frame doesn’t have the exact shape to go to the fender and the moons tail light doesn’t mold correctly to the stock chrome frame (since I couldn’t install the black) the two small black screws that secure the light won’t go in. It’s either the left one does or the right one does . It just seems the light doesn’t match the frame exactly and has created nothing but a headache for me. I’m contacting moon to see what’s up

[@MotoBlonde]

Definitely contact them - they are really helpful! At the time of me making this, the black bezel did not fit the new Low Rider - just older models - that's why I didn't get it - but that could have changed! I'm sure they will be able to help you!

[@BrandonCooper-r9l]

The wire harness that you cut for the turn signals at 5:50. If you wanted to use them again where would you buy a new harness at??

[@MotoBlonde]

I’m sure you could get it from the dealer

[@2012Bougie]

Cool vid, very cool product

[@Kingepticon]

How much were those Hairy Customs turn signal block off plates?

[@MotoBlonde]

I can't remember exactly - a lot less than the big names though!

[@paulson9616]

Does Moons taillight comes with base gasket seal?

[@julielaughlin6183]

Heather, I have been looking for a course on basic maintenance and common roadside repairs. I’ve asked AD Farrow HD if the offer anything-no. I have worked on cars and small engines, but never a motorcycle. It would be nice to be a little more “fluent” in troubleshooting and maintenance. Love your shop videos, thought maybe you could help or point me in the right direction.

[@MotoBlonde]

I haven't run into any specific classes - but I do know that Fix My Hog has a ton of videos on maintenance and changing out parts - also at some events I often see people hold classes on basic maintenance so keep your eyes open for that (local group meetups, or bigger weekend events sometimes have people who do these). If I hear of anything else I will definitely post it!

[@harleysguitars7850]

Did you get the hyperflash on your gauge with the turn signal? If so what load equalizer did you use? Thanks.

[@skaman868]

Curious if you figured this one out?

[@markconde4]

Just installed mine on my low rider s...only thing is the damn damn hyper flash on module on the bike. I saw you have it too. Did you install an equalizer yet?

[@MotoBlonde]

Nope! There are some tricks - turning it on and off with flashers etc. (Turn ign on, turn on hazards, ign off, hazards will do a different flash when ready, ign on, turn off hazards - or something to that effect anyway!)

[@ykhanat]

@@MotoBlonde did this work for you? I am also thinking of copying this. I love the clean blacked out look.

Check out these teeny tiny rear signals I think I wanna get instead of those block offs. These will add more signal flash for the rear, hardly noticing there even there unless they're lit up and they're so small they may not interfere with your saddle bags. www.kuryakyn.com/products/6148/kuryakyn-by-kellermann-atto-collection
