Default Turning tour pack lights into functional brake and directional lights

I read in another thread that there is possibly a wiring harness that would allow the lights in my tour pack to also function as brake and turn signals. Is there such a harness?
I have a 2012 Ultra Limited with the TP detach kit and did the duetch plugs under the seat myself

My indy did this to my bike. I never purchased anything, he just re-wired something in my tour pack. Can't tell you exactly how he did it but it works. Harley sells a kit to do the same thing. Don't know the cost from HD. In any case, it can be done without a kit if your indy knows how to redo the wiring.

Try this: http://www.ridetimetechnology.com/tp_turnz.htm

I put the LED Tour Pak and rear fender LED lights on mine too. He also has a plug that will convert the side marker lights on the Tour Pak to turn signal flashers...

Did it to my bike. Pretty easy job. I ditched the ugly chrome 13 inch light bar to clean up the look and use only the tourpack signals now.

While you're at it with the functional brake light installation. I've ordered this item to get the cager's attention as well. Here's the link: http://www.ridetimetechnology.com/flashr.htm

if i'm not mistaken don't the tour pak lights already work as brake lights? just not turn signal lights. every ultra i have ever ridin or ridin with the tour pak lights were set as running lights and increased in brightness when the brakes are applied. no i could be wrong cause i am still learning but that's how mine are.

Yes the lights in the tour pack on the limited are running/ brake lights with no turn signal function. I just installed the HD harness kit that converts the tour pack lights to run/brake/ turn, should be standard on a limited, but got another $55 out of me. Very easy installation, and also installed the Ride Time Technologies LED light bar on tour pack. Seems pretty bright and hope it makes me just that more visible.

I have the spoiler lights on my saddle bags, I wonder if they could be wired using one of the Kits, anyone else tried this.
