1157 Front Rear LED Turn Signals 1156 Bullet Turn Lights Indicator

In this review the 1157 Front Rear LED Turn Signals are evaluated for riders who want a direct, plugandplay upgrade for Harley and many other motorcycles. The biggest reason to buy is straightforward: these LED bullet signals replace 2 in dual contact bayonet bulbs with a compact smoked lens and 48 EMC 2835 LEDs per unit, delivering noticeably brighter and whiter/amber illumination than stock incandescent bulbs while remaining quick to install. Riders seeking improved night visibility and a neat, aircraftgrade aluminum housing will find this kit especially appealing.

Key Features

• Wide compatibility: Fits many Touring, Sportster, Dyna and Softail models so buyers can expect broad fitment across Harley model years listed without custom adapters.
• Bright LED chips: Each turn signal contains 48 EMC 2835 LED chips that provide strong white/amber output for clearer signaling day or night.
• Aircraft grade aluminum: The solid aluminum base and heat dissipating shell include a 2.0 thermal conductive plate to help extend LED lifespan and reliability.
• Highgrade smoked lens: PC plastic lenses with a protective coating maintain light transmission while protecting internals from dust and dirt.
• Plugandplay installation: No wiring required for compatible 2 in dual contact bayonet sockets, allowing the swap in minutes without splicing.
• Complete kit: Includes two front and two rear LED turn signals plus four smoked lens covers so both ends of the bike are upgraded at once.

Who It's For

The kit is ideal for riders of Street Glide, Road Glide, Road King Special and many Sportster, Dyna and Softail variants who want a clean LED upgrade that preserves the bullet signal profile and requires no wiring when their bike uses 2 in dual contact bayonet bulbs. It suits riders prioritizing improved visibility, modern look, and quick installation with aircraft grade materials.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners of models that use 31/4 in flat style turn signals or bikes with nonbayonet sockets, and anyone whose bike exhibits rapid hyperflashing without a load equalizer included, since some models may still require a resistor or relay to correct flash rate.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Bright, even white/amber output from 48 EMC 2835 LEDs improves visibility compared with incandescent bulbs.
• Durable construction with aircraft grade aluminum and thermal plate reduces heat and extends life.
• Quick plugandplay swap and included smoked lenses make the upgrade fast and complete for compatible bikes.
• Good value as a fourpiece set replacing both front and rear bulbs at once.

Cons

• Not compatible with 31/4 in flat style turn signals, and some bikes may need a load equalizer to prevent hyperflashing.
