Have not tried these. I have used eagle products and have been happy with them so far. First set about 3 years ago and still working fine.

I just added the Eagle lights headlight and passing lights along with the front turn signal yellow/white LED insert into the standard turn signal housing.  Works well.

I just did the front white/yellow front turn signals. Love them, flashes too fast so I need the instructions on how to install resistor?

resistors nullify any electricity saving gained from leds which isn't as much an issue with the Valkyrie with its huge alternator but never know when your battery gets weak and you might need every last electron. The usual fix for fast flashing after installing Leds signals is to replace the stock flasher relay with an electronic flasher.

(Leds has less resistance, so more current circulates through the turn signal circuit. This includes the mechanical flasher which the more current heats up that bimetallic strip faster which flexes back and forth at a faster rate, closing and breaking the contacts faster, turning on and off the electricity going to the turn signals at an accelerated rate or faster blinking.)

Don't bother with resistors as stated.
Use an LED flasher...I prefer to get stuff from SuperBrightLEDS
OEM flasher is just in front of the battery box, you can remove the left side cover to gain access.

Sweet, didn't like the resistor anyway. Thanks
