1157 LED Turn Signals 3 1/4ft Front Rear Combo Set - Bright Upgrade

In this review the 1157 LED Turn Signals 3 1/4' front and rear combo is evaluated for riders who want a brighter, modern replacement for original Harley turn lamps. The kit is aimed squarely at touring and classic Harley models and the single biggest reason to buy is the substantially higher visible output from 60 SMD LEDs that combine turn, running and brake functions in a compact flat housing. Installation is plug-and-play on many models with 1157/1156 sockets, though older bikes may need a load equalizer to cure hyper flash.

Key Features

• 1157/1156 Socket Fit: Directly replaces many original bulbs for Electra Glide, Road King, Road Glide and other listed Harley models, simplifying swap-in installation.
• High Brightness LEDs: Built with 60 SMD LED chips that provide much stronger visible output than halogen for improved daytime and nighttime conspicuity.
• Switchback Mode: Front units offer an outer white halo for running light and a center amber for turn signal, combining functions without extra fixtures.
• Combined Rear Functions: Rear lights integrate running and brake light with outer halo red and full red for brake to reduce the number of separate lamps required.
• Low Power Draw: LED design cuts power consumption compared with halogen, though some older models will require a resistor or load equalizer for correct flash rate.

Who It's For

These turn signals are best for Harley owners who ride Electra Glide, Road King, Road Glide, Ultra Limited, Tour Glide or Heritage Softail Classic models within the model years listed and who want a brighter, modern look without extensive wiring changes. A rider upgrading stock incandescent bulbs on compatible touring or softail machines will find a direct functional improvement in visibility.

Riders with very old Harley models, 2-inch bullet-style turn signals, or those who prefer original equipment appearance should look elsewhere. Also, anyone unable or unwilling to fit a load equalizer when required by older electrical systems should consider a different solution.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Markedly brighter than halogen due to 60 SMD LEDs, improving visibility day and night.
• Plug-and-play 1157/1156 socket fit for many Harley touring and softail models simplifies installation.
• Switchback front and integrated rear functions reduce the number of separate lamps and tidy the look.

Cons

• Some older Harley models may need a separate load equalizer or resistors to prevent hyper flash, which are not included.

Specifications

Our Verdict

The 1157 LED Turn Signals 3 1/4' combo is a practical, value-focused upgrade for compatible Harley touring and softail riders who want improved brightness and consolidated lighting functions. It offers clear visibility gains and simple socket compatibility for many models, but owners of older bikes should budget for a load equalizer when required. Overall this is a cost-effective way to modernize signaling and running lights on supported Harleys.
