2008 Electra Glide Classic.
Installed the new HD LED rear Turn Signals and Tail Light per instructions. Now I want to install Custom Dynamics Dual Intensity Fender Tip Light (Run/Brake). The problem is I may need to do something different than what the instructions call for.
The new turn signal’s Y-harnesses require using the 2 unused available connections. The new Fender tip lamp also wants one of the same connections. CONNECTOR 45.
The new fender tip lamp supplied wired connector is to be installed in CONNECTOR 45, Red & Black tails to 1 & 3 of stock fender tip light wires.
My limited electrical logic tells me “don’t cross the streams” but it might do just that if I splice it with the turn signal wire in SLOT 2 of CONNECTOR 45.

Suggestions to make this combination work together without frying anything is sincerely appreciated.

Harley Fender Tip Converter Instructions
Item: GEN-FT-R-D

Using the Fender Tip Light, Run & Brake, with the LED Signals is what I'm after.

 

The pic of the exposed components?Is that something you designed,or is that from Custom Dynamics?
Pins 1 and 3 of the fender tip light are 12vdc and gnd.Pin 2 has 12vdc when the brake is applied.
In the set up you have there,at pin 1 the voltage is reduced by the in line resistor and the fender light is lit (dimmer than stock) with something less than 12vdc.When the brake is applied the light recieves a full 12vdc, it is as bright as stock.

 

I installed the HD LED signals on my bike a while back.If I remember correctly the run mode for those lights gets 12vdc from the vacant cavity in the tail light connector.The brake mode comes from pin 2 of the fender tip light.

 

Thanks,
The connector was supplied by Custom Dynamics. I removed the heat shrink to see what was there.

What I am unsure of is if I splice into the pin2 wire by the connector to share that with the turn signals what effect does the connection of pin1 and pin2 downstream have?

Not feeling comfortable doing this with my limited electrical knowledge.

 

The Dual Fender Tip converter needs to get Ground (black), Power (blue), and Brake (red), plugging into the spare 45 connector should be fine since both the Power and the Brake of the dual fender tip has isolation diodes (as you can see with the heat shrink pealed back) in line. Thanks Dave

 

what was your outcome?

 

I've got the same setup you have with the run/brake fender tip light. The way I did mine was to use a razor blage and split the wire loom to the tail light and splice the wire into the tail light wires, solder it and use heat shrink. I fixed mine so that I could still remove or replace tail light without cutting wires.

 

I have all the same products and wondering how it worked out. Did the adapter from Custom Dynamics make it so the fender tip light was only as bright as the HD LEDs when your not braking? I currently have the Custom Dynamics LED fender tip light with no adapter, it makes it look like my fender is always braking. I would like it to dim in running mode to look more even with the HD LED tail lamp and HD LED turn signals.
