I have looked all over the Electrical Connection website and cannot find the LED ring lights that go around the 1156 tail light bulbs. Is there any other company that makes these????
Thanks Slammer

He's right, not the easiest site to find info - on their homepage, go to "lighting", then follow your nose...(lighting then universal, then turn signal conversion)
I'm anxious to see a set - pictures don't seem to do it justice, I'd almost have to see it in real-life, to see how much the red shows as true red. Hopefully, I'll run into someone who has a set. Or I'll just make my own set, and try it, if I find a set of spare lenses, cheap - I keep watching for a set. I have some pretty bright (20,000 mcd) led's left over from a few stage lighting projects. $50 is just a bit steep for me, if I DON'T like them. I etch my own circuit boards, and pay ~ 3 cents an led, so I'd have all of $2 - $3 into a set...

on 1 of my Valks when I bought it. They lasted about 11 years so I figured I would try to find replacements. The bike already has red lenses so it looks very cool at nite and was very visible during the day. They have slowly lost bulbs in the last year so they are down to about half on each side. They are well worth the money.

The website pictures don't do them justice. I installed them on my Valk and think they look great and add considerably more rear end lighting. I like them. A bit of an installation challenge due to all the wires, but they are something most anyone can handle if they carefully follow the directions and don't get in a hurry.

If you wanna wait till the end of this week, I'll post up a couple of videos that I took of mine. I'm on a short trip and typing on a cell phone. I think they work pretty well. At night, they look very red. Or, you can search on youtube and try to find them. Search valkyrie lights modification.....or something like that. Even though I did mine with the yellow lenses, I think they'd look even better with clear lenes and a yellow bulb.

Nice to know they look good with the red lenses. I don't like the clear...no, let me clarify that...I HATE the clear lenses - if I had to have the clear, I would have colored them, and perhaps even coloring them, both amber AND red.
I have the Hoppy converter on the bike, full-time, to hook up my led lights that take the place of the reflectors on the saddlebags, which have running and turn signals, so I can hook up the rear lights for running, turn AND brakes, I think. Although I don't especially like the bunches of "add-on" lights, like I used to have on the wings, on the Valk, I DO like lights that can be seen.
Sent you a private message, Slammer...

The stock amber lens’ work fine with this type of conversion. Actually, you need the amber lens to get the amber turn signal. LED’s produce a narrow spectrum of color, and the amber lens allows red to pass easily. The LED light will still be red, and at near full brightness when it passes through the amber lens.
