Well folks I would need to agree with Mbrownp1, I also bought the ones off of eBay, and then bought the matching passing lights from Amazon, they all work great. Total at about 100 dollars... @40 dollars for the passing lights I bought an extra set... The headlight is a plug and play. No issues with idiot light on speedo.. all works fine...
 
I installed additional rear brake/running lights.. idiot light came on. Before adding load resistor i replaced all blinkers with LED bulbs.. idiot light went out.. I thought maybe I burnt it out. Lol.. reinstalled OEM blinker bulbs. Light came back on.. guess the bike wants all LED’s.. lol..
Basically, I added two brake/running LED lights, and another brake LED light. All are wired to rear fender harness... and I added all LED bulbs to blinkers...
 
After 100 miles on the Bobber, my main gripe is the headlight. Watched videos on the Adaptive 2 and can’t see it helping that much for the price increase from the non-adaptive. I’ve toyed with getting the Pathfinder from Indian or the Eagle Lights 8900 Gen III

$500.00,....I've bought complete and running motorcycles for less.

I have installed a LED HID lamp in my headlight. Bright as daylight and a simple bulb swap. It still retains the parking light function too.
Another forum member sent me this lamp and he wouldn't take a penny for it.
Momz,

Do you remember the brand of bulb you are using?
You are happy with it? Is this configuration lighting up the ditches for you?
I hear that replacing the bulb will cause it to fog up, and leave water inside the lens, are you seeing this yet?

I want to update the OEM light too, but not 100% sure what to go with yet. I have been considering a complete LED swap, not just the bulb.
But I will consider all options. Not sure how bad I need the parking light, but something else to think about.

Thank you.

I use a $70 LED replacement that I get from DKcustoms on my Harleys. Works great, no issues on 5 different bikes. That $500 one is really nice, but I can't afford that. It has a little fan on the back of it that you hear run when you power the bike up, but never any issues. Since it utilizes the stock housing, looks stock until you turn it on. Really makes road signs pop.
 
I think the original poster is smart for upgrading, with all of the riding he is doing, and at night, etc. I always upgrade the tail lights first though to LED, more worried about being seen than seeing. Maybe Scouts already have them? I put one of those tail light flasher kits from Custom Dynamics on my wife's bike, made a HUGE difference in visibility from the rear. I may do this on my bikes if it works for Indians.
 
4Thunder, For headlight, I ordered aftermarket LED LIGHT through Amazon for 1200 sportster. Plug and play. Works great. About $50.00 with shipping.. maybe less for You. I live in Hawaii...

Exactly. I paid $48. No issues whatsoever. And much much much brighter. Not sure why people are paying $200-$500.

Scout tail light is already LED. After I upgraded the headlight I replaced all 4 turn signal lights w LED. Effective and looks better too.
 
Correct, ,want to say I replaced the blinker bulbs with LED bulbs...Been looking for rear blinker lens.. instead I found red LED Rear blinkers from a Dark Horse. Should be lit and play. Plus they are a little bigger than the scout...
 
That’s where I bought my LED blinker bulbs.. 2 red for rear and 2 amber for front... The red with the yellow rear lens looks good and very bright.
Being I could not find red lens covers for the rear. I bought rear blinkers for 2019 Dark Horse... Had to interchange the connectors.. Dark horse uses male and my scout had female.. Cut, solder, heat shrink, i now have dark horse blinkers. A bit larger than the Scout. Dark horse is all LED... THE ENTIRE LENSE is LED... Very bright... Waiting for module to make my rear blinkers run/brake and turn...
