Senior Boarder Posts: 302 Question about lights in trunk/saddlebags 10 Months ago   Hey guys, I am installing my trunk and I have a brake light built in to the spoiler. How did you run the wires and where? Pics would be awesome. I know there's a few guys who can help me out (Kai and Smokescreens are a few) It's just a running and brake light, 3 wires that I'm aware of. I want to run at least one additional wire to power a 12v plug and/or USB charger. I was looking at using a 4-prong trailer harness but I'm curious what others have done. Can't wait to see what the guru's have done   Logged     Big Country - Let me show you how we do it North of the Border! 2005 Road Star Midnight Star Canadian Limited Edition   The administrator has disabled public write access. #519887 BigCountry (User) I've crashed, I've healed, I'm back in the saddle!

It may be overkill for a single brake light, but it can handle running, brake, and turns drawing power dirctly from the battery (not your light system). I put in a harness to connect to the existing rear fender wiring harness. If I want to remove it later I can simply unplug my harness and return it to stock.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #520145 BigCountry (User) I've crashed, I've healed, I'm back in the saddle!

Warden, what kind of harness did you use and where did you splice it in?   Logged     Big Country - Let me show you how we do it North of the Border! 2005 Road Star Midnight Star Canadian Limited Edition   The administrator has disabled public write access. #520206 sigmund (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 282 Re:Question about lights in trunk/saddlebags 10 Months ago   BigCountry wrote: Warden wrote: +1.

Warden, what kind of harness did you use and where did you splice it in? Click my link, it will take you right to it. Make your connections under the seat where the wire harness for the rear taillights come through the fender.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #520218 jd750ace (User) I'm not IN danger, I AM the danger Platinum Boarder Posts: 7948 Re:Question about lights in trunk/saddlebags 10 Months ago   I tapped into the running light circuit under the seat, at the front of the fender, and installed running lights in my saddle bags where the reflectors were. Wiring is in a black flexible conduit, inside of the "eyebrows". Will be doing something more permanent later when I build my back bumper.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
