purple are your turn signals, blue is the brake light, black is ground the world around.

This is correct, although depending on how the OP wires it, the purple could also be used as a brake, but not at the same time it is being used as a turn, one or the other.

I feel the simplest way for the OP to achieve the goal of making the two lights on the light bar act as Stop/Tail/Turn lights is to locate HD PN-68398-10 ($95-$128), this is the module used on both the Dyna Chopped Fender kit (when offered) and the Wide Glide without a center light and (should) plug into the harness under the seat. All the OP would need to do then is extend the wires off the light and connect them to the new module. The module als provides a black wire and an orange/white wire to provide a power source to light the plate.

"Each light" because even though it is a light bar it still has 2 lights with seperate wiring going to Each of them

You didn't say that originally. You said 3 wires, with 4 from the harness.
OK, so each side has a
Black=ground
blue= run
blue/brown= brake/turn right
blue red= brake/turn left
now you need to figure out what's what from the new light.
black= ground
purple= turn (you need to figure out left or right)
blue= run
put all blues together
put all blacks together

yea, it could be that simple, maybe the blue/brown is the right brake/turn and the blue/red is the left or vice versa. If so then you should be good to go. Let us know how it turns out.

Are you sure that the turn signal module will be able to handle the load driving two filament bulbs (F-R) at the same time without the rear brake/turn signal combination module? It wasn't designed to do that so there may be an issue there because that is what those modules are for.

The OP could put a meter on the Blue/Brown and Blue/red and then see how they react when the brake is activated, how they react when the signal is activated and then when the sigs are running and the brake is activated. I am thinking that because the wires are blue/color stripe that the wires are actually setup to be running/turns and not brake. The OP should be able to confirm that if he remembers if his stock sigs stayed lite all the time or not, along with it they also just changed dimness when flashing. I am guessing his stock sigs were amber and not red, and if my theory is correct then the blue/color stripe wire is not going to work as a brake/turn function.


Having said that I am not 100% sure if he would need to do some additional changes do to the integration of that setup. I will try and find a wiring schematic for the 08' Super Glide and see if how they have it wired to use the color codes he says he has. If I find anything, I will get back and let you know.

Run/turn use separate filaments because turn are brighter than run. Separate filaments use separate wires. But brake/turn use the same filament.
