Default Fender light Electrical question
I am putting a top mounted fender light on my 2018 Classic. Ideas on where to tie it in to the harness?
Or should i run a separate switch for the light?

The is a front fender light...its only function is cosmetic. It is going to be mounted to the top of front fender. Going to run wires along brake line.
Was wondering if there is an unused accessory wire or should I just tie it in with the low beam.

You can tie it to the aux power plug under the left side cover

Seems to me you’d want to splice it into the lighting circuit so it’s on with the lights.
