The Best Most Visible Lights Available

These lights look best and are most visible, HOWEVER, you need to do a few things additional before installation to make them last. The chrome has held up well too.

If you use the same OEM screws to install these Kury's you will likely split the hard plastic mounting posts they screw into. I found a sharp pointed self tapping sheet metal screw of the same size to "tap" the screw threads before mounting them. The OEM screws are blunt nose and don't "cut" well but put too much force on the brittle plastic usually causing the posts to split.

ALSO, you will find the lens of these lights will easily push into their housings upon the first wash and wax unless you reinforce the cheap silicone RTV used to hold them in place. I used the wife's glue gun around the entire perimeter of each lens before installing them the second time. I must ad that these lights have never shorted out or burned out and this may be due to the fact Kury covered each solder joint on every wire with some form of waterproof silicone RTV. This prevents any corrosion or shorting when you wash your rig. It's just that this RTV isn't strong enough to hold the lens in place if they are even gently pushed on from the outside. Glueing them in place BEFORE you install them will prevent you from having to remove and repair them in the very near future.

Following these two suggestions will ensure a satisfactory install and enjoyment of your lighting investment for many years (maybe) to come. I know it doesn't seem right to have to "fix" a brand new product before installing them but these really are the best looking and most visible lighting accessory for your GoldwIng your money can buy.
