Benlari 1157 LED Turn Signals Front Rear for Harley - Smoke Lenses

In this review the Benlari 1157 LED Turn Signals are evaluated for riders who want a direct, plug-and-play upgrade to their Harley bullet style turn signal housings. The bottom line: these lights deliver a bright, switchback running light plus amber turn signal and red brake output in a compact 2 in package that fits many Dyna, Softail, Sportster and Touring models, and they are worth considering for visibility and style if your bike accepts 1157 double-contact bulbs. Installation is straightforward on compatible models and the smoke lenses give a clean, modern look.

Key Features

• Compatibility: Fits 2 in bullet style turn signal housings on many Harley Touring, Sportster, Dyna and Softail models for a wide range of applications.
• Switchback Light Design: Front 1157 bulbs provide white running light and amber turn signal output so the bike is more noticeable in traffic.
• High LED Count: Each unit uses 48 LEDs for brighter, more visible signals both day and night.
• Smoke Lenses: PC plastic smoke lenses protect the LEDs from dust while maintaining good light transmission and a stealthy appearance.
• Plug-and-Play: Integrated handle design allows installation without extra wiring on models with double-contact bullet housings.
• Complete Set: Package includes front and rear 1157 bulbs and two pairs of smoke lenses so you get both running and brake/turn coverage.

Who It's For

This kit is best for Harley riders who have 2 in bullet style turn signal housings and want a straightforward LED upgrade that adds white running lights and bright amber turn signals for improved visibility. It suits owners of Sportster Iron 883/1200, SuperLow 72/48, many Dyna models and most Softail and Touring models listed as compatible.

Riders who have non-double-contact sockets, 3 1/4 in housings, or those who want a plug-free custom wiring setup should look elsewhere, since some bikes may require load resistors, decoders or a different socket type to avoid hyper-flash or dashboard warnings.

Pros & Cons

• Easy plug-and-play fit on compatible bullet style housings makes installation quick for most users.
• Bright 48 LED design with switchback running lights improves daytime and nighttime visibility.

Cons

• Some models may need load resistors or a flasher relay to prevent hyper-flash or error codes, adding complexity.
• Not compatible with larger 3 1/4 in housings and certain limited/ultra Touring variants are excluded.
