Headlight bulb replacement on 2015 RT

[Rwslater]

Holy crapola!! Has anyone tried to install cyclops LED headlights in the RT? I have a 2015 and to get the headlight quadrant out you have to completely take the front end apart/off.  It's nearly impossible  :thinking:

I fitted them to a 2009RT; I left the light cluster in but removed the plastic around the dash (left the clocks in) dash bezel, made it very easy, (probably completely different on a 2015 bike, but it might be worth looking at.)

It's not impossible, just take your time. BTW I did mine without removing the headlight assembly. It's just easier to insert the bulb when the assembly is out.

I first took it to the Stealership, they charged me an hour to look at it and then said they couldn't do it.  >:(

Thanks to BoxFlyer, the LED headlight bulbs were replaced without taking the bike apart.  The low beam was easy, just reached up from the front. For the high beams we removed the speakers and got in through there.  Thanks BowFlyer for all your help!

Are the bulbs the same in a 2015 as for a 2018? If so which Cyclops LED bulbs did you use? I'd like to upgrade my 2018. TIA

I am curious about what changes on model years 2015 to 2016, then 2019 to 2020 that would require a different lighting kit? Anyone know?

I used these bulbs from Amazon for a total cost of $110 and they work great - much much brighter. I was able to install without taking the light assembly out.

The LED's that I bought have a beam pattern that is an exact match of the halogen bulb. Most of the new LED's match the Halogen filament position and shape to ensure proper beam pattern.
