I replaced the Triumph OEM rear turn signal lamps with Drag Specialists 2" Amber LED (model 20200280) bulbs. It was quite easy to remove the gasket and rear turnsignal socket from the OEM turn signal housing. The Drag Specialists 2" amber LED panel installed easy into the OEM gasket. Depending on how much slack the OEM installer allowed inside the rear lamps, you have a couple choices on the wiring. I choose to remove the OEM female spade connector (much narrower than usual spade connector). I soldered the wires on one side but the other side I had to remove the OEM wire cover and opened up the OEM connector to allow the LED wire to be crimped. Then heat shrank a new cover over the connection. Reinstalled the OEM rubber gasket (with the LED bulb installed) back into the rear turn signal lamp. It fits perfectly once the gasket is seated. You'll need to install a load equalizer of some sort of course. But I want to tell you, the difference in brightness between the LED set-up and the pitiful OEM rear non-standard turn signal bulb is dramatic!
