My Georgie Boy had large signal lights but they were not very bright. I debated on putting in new LED bulbs but thought that increasing the height of the signal/brake lights would add a greater degree of visability. So I purchased 4 LED signal/brake modules and grommets ( sold seperately) from a local truck stop. Some wire and connectors, a hole saw, sanding drum for the power drill and two hours of time and they were installed. Because I kept the original lights, the flasher did not need replacing for LED only lights. The fiberglass body made the job easy. I was careful to make the holes too small to begin and sand them by smal bits till the lamp was 'just' about to go in. A little dish soap when wired and they popped in nicely.

I have replaced my tail light / brake lights with LED's now I seem to have a problem. The running lights stay on even when everything is off. The only way I can get them to go off is to remove the head light switch from the dash board and unplug it from the wiring harness. It is a very low drain, I have left it for a month and the batteries still have enough power to start the engine. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Rick

Sounds like you need a new headlight switch.
