I'm not a genius on electrical so looking for help on this. Bought an FLH rear fender for my WG just to change up the look some and maybe gain a little more rear end visibility as a bonus.


Can I wire the turn signals to work with the tail/stop lamp if I change the sockets to 2-pole? Can I just piggyback the wires to the existing stop/tail wires?


There's a small bulb marker light in the edge trim, can that be connected to the tail or stop light wire as well-I assume it was already set to run with the lights on but not sure if it has it's own hot wire from the harness or just connects to the taillight wire at the light base.


There's plenty of wire to work with even thought they were cut when the fender was removed. I'm going to learn how to solder the right way in this project, not a high level skill for me yet lol.


Thanks guys, Chuck

 

On my flhri I used front run/turns on the rear and used the 2 pole sockets as running/turns. I sourced power for the running lights on the spare source in the terminal block located on the rear fender. I'm not sure, but to incorporate stop light function one needs to install one of the black boxes hd sells. I don't like to splice in wiring so I opted for a bright *** light to improve stop light visibility. Have yet to buy, keep looking for a good used one.

 

It's a tough job. It can be done with 2 dual relays 2 load resistors and 2 blocking diodes. I did it to my Limited but if you don't have experience with electronics it could turn into a nightmare.
