1157 Front 1156 Rear LED Turn Signals 2 in Bullet - Brighter Night

In this review the focus is on a compact, plug-and-play turn signal kit intended for riders who want brighter, more visible lighting without complicated wiring. The kit bundles two 1157 front switchback bulbs and two 1156 rear bulbs dressed as 2 in bullet motorcycle blinkers, and its single biggest reason to buy is the noticeably increased night-time visibility delivered by multiple LEDs in each unit. For riders of Harley-style machines who want an easy upgrade, this review explains how the lights perform, who will benefit, and where buyers should be cautious.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Designed to fit motorcycles that accept 2 in bullet turn signals, especially a broad range of Harley models, simplifying selection for many owners.
• Bright LED array: Each unit uses 48 LEDs to produce about twice the light output of comparable halogen bulbs, improving visibility at night and in poor weather.
• Switchback front function: Front 1157 bulbs use an outer white ring for running/parking light and a central amber for the turn signal, giving a clear daytime running appearance.
• Rear signaling: Rear 1156 bulbs provide red light for tail or turn functions, keeping rear visibility and signaling distinct.
• Plug-and-play installation: 1157 double contacts and a handle design make removal of the stock bulb and insertion of the new unit quick, usually taking 2-3 minutes.
• Complete kit: Ships with two 1157 front, two 1156 rear bulbs, four smoked lens covers and four load resistors, plus a limited 3-month warranty.

Who It's For

The kit is best for motorcycle owners who ride Harley FXLRS, XL1200CX, Road King, Electra Glide, Street Glide, Road Glide, Ultra Limited, Sportster 1200, Sportster 883, Dyna and similar models that use 2 in bullet turn signals and who want a straightforward brightness upgrade without rewiring. It suits riders who value a modern switchback look up front and stronger amber/red signaling for safety.

Riders who require fully sealed OEM-class housings, an extended factory warranty, or whose bikes use nonstandard power feeds for rear signals should look elsewhere or be prepared to troubleshoot fit and wiring. Some buyers reported mixed fit and power issues on certain rear circuits, so custom wiring knowledge can be helpful.
