PBYMT 1157 Front Rear LED Turn Signals 2in Smoke Lens - Bright Upgrade

In this review of the PBYMT 1157 front rear LED turn signals, the bottom line is straightforward: these lights are for Harley riders who want a brighter, modern look and quick plug-and-play replacement for factory 2in turn signals. The single biggest reason to buy is the marked increase in visibility from the 48 SMD LEDs per lamp, which the reviewer found gives a strong white halo on the front units and a much clearer amber indication on rear signals. Installation is simple and the smoked lens gives a neat, integrated appearance on many Touring, Softail, Dyna and Sportster models.

Key Features

• Fitment: Designed for many Harley models from 1986-2024, so owners of Touring, Softail, Dyna and Sportster families can expect wide compatibility with 2in turn sockets.
• Super brightness: Each 1157 lamp packs 48 high-brightness SMD LEDs, improving visibility and signaling clarity compared with older halogen units.
• Long lifespan: A safety circuit board with overload protection and ventilation aims to deliver more than 50,000 hours of operation for long-term reliability.
• Weather protection: Smoked PC lens covers are IP67 waterproof and help keep dust and moisture out while maintaining strong light output.
• Quick installation: The all-in-one wireless design is plug-and-play and can be installed in about 3 mins on compatible 2in turn sockets.
• Complete kit: Ships with two front and two rear turn signals plus four smoke lens covers so the set is ready to replace all four corners.

Who It's For

This set is best for Harley riders who own models listed in the fitment notes and who want a brighter, modern LED appearance without major wiring changes. If you have a Road Glide, Street Glide, Softail, Sportster or Dyna from 1986 to 2024 (excluding CVO, Limited, Classic, Ultra on some Touring models) and your bike uses 2in turn signals, these are an easy visual and safety upgrade.

Riders who should look elsewhere include owners of other motorcycle brands, bikes that use 3-1/4in or flat style turn signals, or anyone unwilling to add a load resistor when their flasher requires it for a preferred flash rate. Also check fit carefully on models that reported intermittent front unit issues in some user feedback.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Very bright output from 48 SMD LEDs improves daytime and nighttime visibility.
• Easy plug-and-play installation saves time and does not require complex rewiring.
• Durable construction with IP67 smoked PC lens for weather resistance and a clean look.
• Complete four-piece kit gives a matched front and rear appearance out of the box.

Cons

• Some models may need a load resistor to correct flash rate or prevent hyperflash.
• A few users reported mixed functionality or fit issues on certain front lamps, so fit verification is advised before purchase.
