Well done. They make some screwdrivers that are called “ screw holding “ screw driver or “hold it “ screw drivers. They can be a huge help. The one caution about doing headlights I have seen is make sure that your are removing the right screws. One set hold it in place the others adjust the beam.
That is a great point and I will be pinning this comment. Thank you! We have looked into magnetic screw drivers, but they are lower on our 'tools we need to get' list at the moment. It is hard to replace a tool that works well for you 90% of the time. You know?
Thank you! And I was hesitant to put this up. I truly did not know what I was doing as I was filming. Then I realized that if I was unsure of myself, others might be as well. When I dive into the taillights this weekend with the wiring work.... That one may get interesting.
Fantastic! You did it! When I was a little girl on road trips with my parents, every time a bug hit the windshield, my mom said, “Do you know what the bug said when he hit the windshield? It took guts to do that.” 😉
Are you sitting down? My Dad use to ask... ‘Do you know the that thing to go through that hugs mind was when he hit the windshield?’ ‘His @$$’ Thank you my friend. Check out the one about the tail lights, the watch the shorts. The shorts are funny. 😁
Great video and very informative,...I will say this,...I wanted to replace my stock lights with LED as most riders do and when I went to place my chrome beauty ring around the headlamp I couldn't get it to lock down not realizing I needed the retaining spring placed in the ring, out of the 20+ videos I watched on TH-cam yours was the ONLY one that mentioned the retaining spring/clip and how to line it up so good on you! Thank you and ride safe!
Thank you! I also did the passing lamps (that will be Tuesday's video) and am about to change our the turn signals too. Now that one will be more involved because it does require some wiring work. 😟
@@MotoByChance when something requires patience, I usually ask my wife for help. Yep. I admit it. Shoot, I’ll carry the dishwasher into the house but she’s hooking it up. Haha.
Thank you! With each project I am feeling more confident. And if you haven’t see the shorts videos I put up over the weekend, go look. They are both less than a minute, but are funny moments from the install.
Nice thing about Harleys is how simple they are when it comes to doing almost anything to them. I have a 2019 RK and I’m slowly adding things and TH-cam has been great help. I’m not that far from you all near Bakersfield. Ride safe!!
You are fairly close. 👍🏻 The only lights I have run into that have stumped me are the front LED signals. I need to rewrite them and have one wire I do not know what to do with. There forums has not been helpful so far either. And I too love the RKs. They are my favorite HD produces.
@@MotoByChance I agree. I love them too I’m trying to give my ‘19 RK an old school classic look and I’m struggling finding some accessory parts because they don’t make them anymore for this year etc lol. I’ll ask around about the LED rewiring and if I find something out I’ll send you a message! Some years closer to our models have a very similar if not identical way of changing certain things
You got into so much more with your install than I did and I wanted it there for anyone that ran into the same issues you did. And I am grateful that you put yours up for me to learn from. Just one more reason I love this motorcycle community!
Thank you Bob. 💕 I changed out the passing lamps as well. Then went and picked up the parts to change out the turn signals too. Wondering what I got myself into.
Thank you and I understand completely. That is part of why I made this series of videos. So many confused me, thus when I figured it out I had to make one that was hopefully simple to follow.
I know. Right?!? And thank you. I changed the passing lamps out too. I am editing that video right now. Changing both made a huge difference and I decided to change the turn signals as well.
Thank you. In this video y'all got to see how I usually am. Silly and a bit over the top. I like to have fun and I do get excited when I do something myself and it turns out well.
*Nicely done!* So, even if they don't last very long, at this price, one can afford to replace them every year! Harley dealership wants $1000 to do what you just did for $75.
Great job!! I am right there with you on being new to working on my bikes. Everyone around me is mechanically inclined which makes it really easy to have a beer a watch them do the work🤭 That being said, we are getting ready to build a pole barn and I’ve already requested to have my own bike lift so I can do my own work🏍
Now that is a great ask! And it is easy to let others do the work. I do want to learn as much as I can, but there are still a few things I will pay someone else to take on for me. Good luck on the wrenching and let me know how it goes.
First congratulations 👏 on the new lights and saving money 💰 and if you think I said something great in one of your video comments I have to tell you the truth it will be something I read once and pass it on. ( To my kids ) hope it is OK. Great video old man ny out. PS Saturday is my first ride on the new road glide. :) 😁🙂🤪
OMG! You are getting the Road Glide out?!? You are going to have a great ride! Thank you for the support and I loved the message to the kids. That was so sweet.
I went with the Truck lite day maker and they have a package including the spot lights for like $325. They are bright. Did you know that Harley can flash your spots to always be on?😎😎
@@MotoByChance I would guess that the 2020's Road King's have a computer. The shop just plugs in and programs the spots to be on Hi and Low Beam and whalaa. Even the older models now have a cable that can do it. I've had my 2014 Ultra flashed for a couple years now. Good luck😎😎
@@theChestnutMtnTinman I will check into this. Will give me a good reason to stop in if I need them to do it. Love getting in some shopping time too. 😜😉
Hi, Robin, Thanks for the useful tips! May I ask where you got the black crash bar protector (possibly rubber?) installed in the bent part of the crash bar, please? If bought online, URL, possibly? Thanks!

@@MotoByChance it's sooo satisfying to complete a project, especially when you've stepped out of your comfort zone, learning something and having done it yourself.

@@thedustychronicles739 Thank you and you are sooooo right. Now I am diving into the turn signals this weekend and they require some wiring work. This one has me a bit scared, but I know I will figure it out.

Thanks for showing the high beam, low beam.
You are welcome. Had to record it a couple of times with different cameras to find which one had the best footage at night.
we ALL learn by doing.... to build confidence to be able to handle the next install/project,... well done...!!!!!

Thank you Toby! I really appreciate it! 💕😎🏍🖤
You are just getting a peek at the real me. I am a goof and over the top. 😜
Hey Robin! Used your vid to install my Eaglelight gen III led tonight on my 2014 RK. Ez Pz thanks for the content you rock 🤟🇺🇲

Way to go Robin. That’s exactly how excited I got when I updated my headlight and changed oil my first time.

Great video. You’ve given me a great little tutorial to fallow when I do my lights. Thank you so much.
I hope it makes it easy for you when you do the install.
Good job!!! I love plug and play. I changed mine as well (and had to get Hubby for his strength)🥰.
Thank you! I would have eventually been able to myself, but his trick with a little WD40 and stronger hands made it so much easier. 👍🏻
The new Led headlight looks great and way cooler looking 😎👍
Thank you! I appreciate it. And I am very pleased with how everything turned out.
Awesome job team Robin! It looks great 👍Thank you for linking me in your description! Can't wait to see the passing lamp install 🤘

You go girl! I've hired auto mechanics that wouldn't do as good of a job as you. Great job!
Thank you Bob. 💕 I changed out the passing lamps as well. Then went and picked up the parts to change out the turn signals too. Wondering what I got myself into.
Experty done, thank you so much for this. Being a beginner this video helped me tremendously ! Ride safe and love your king
Thank you and I understand completely. That is part of why I made this series of videos. So many confused me, thus when I figured it out I had to make one that was hopefully simple to follow.
Looks great. Really make the side lights look kind yellow. Cant wait for those. Thanks for sharing.

Exactly! So far the reviews from those that have purchased these from the dealership have been strong. Time will tell. 🤞🏻
Very informative .Thanks
Good job Robin! I hope you like your new light.
I really do and I learned a lot doing it. And from a couple of the comments. Now to tackle the taillight and turn signals tomorrow. 😳

Thank you Bob! As I was opening TH-cam they finally decided to show me a video of yours from a week ago. @#$%&*! Will be watching it soon.
Your dealer can “flash” the ECM so your passing lights will stay on with the headlight on high beam.
Looks great Robin! Good job! 😊
Thank you!!! 💗😎🏍🖤

Good Job!
Thank you! After doing this, I’m feeling confident to tackle the turn signals that will require some wiring work.
Nice little video. Those "damits" may behave better if you use a magnetic tip screwdriver. Just saying. Ride Safe
I know... Just hard to spend the money on replacing a tool that works perfectly for me 90% of the time. Just have not make the investment just yet.
What a great install video! I will save this video in case I ever change my lights out. Are you also changing your passing lamps? Ride Safe
Hey Jack! And yes... Changed them out too and it made a huge difference to change all 3. Now to tackle the taillight and turn signals.
In your description it says Note changed headlight after video to a better one. Which headlight did you up grade to?
Thanks ride safe

I did. That was a different video.
