I have a 2009 VRSCDX. This winter I plan to upgrade some safety features including horn and lighting. For the lighting, there are several things I want to do and need to sort out what is needed and where to wire it in.
My Game Plan
FRONT
HEAD LIGHTS
Brighter - To use many aftermarket lights, will I need to replace the housing with something 5.75"? I was told the V-Rod headlight is a different size.
FRONT SIGNALS
I will be replacing them with RRI SigZ V2 LED 1157 Turn Signals - Running Lights.
FRONT SIGNAL REPLACEMENT CHOICE
-Will these just plug n play?
-I am under the impression that the front signals are 1157.
-I assume I will need a load equalizer, if so, any recommendations?
-Will I need two since I will be doing the same to the back or can I wire them in somewhere that will take care of both?
-If so, where?
REAR
TAIL LIGHT
I want to upgrade with a brighter light if possible. Here is my current light, I am not sure if it is stock or aftermarket as there was a PO
CURRENT TAIL LIGHT
SIGNALS
I will be replacing them with RRI SigZ V2 LED 1157 Turn Signals - Tail Lights.
RRI Signals
-I am under the impression the rear signals are 1156 as they do not run all the time.
-In order to make them run all the time I will have to replace them with 1157 internals correct?
-I also need to purchase the Auxillary light kit as well, correct?
FLASHING BRAKE LIGHTS
-I want the brake lights to flash before becoming solid so I will need a device for that as well, any suggestions?
(SINCE PURCHASED The Custom Dynamics Magic Strobe Brake Light Modulator For Harley V-Rod 2002-2010. Waiting to install.)
FINALLY
I need to know if all of these devices will work together and in what order they may need to be attached.
Load equalizer>Brake Flasher>Aux light kit>1157 light internals>1157 LED RRI Signals.
I know there is a lot to go over here, so any help in any part would be greatly appreciated. I want to work on getting the game plan set up and start on it this winter when I put the bike up.
