Can use some advice please
Relocated lights
That's the connector that was in tailight, that has the orange/white wire in it which I believe is for the run lights.
This is what I need to secure to the fender
Gonna put a 180 under there and hope it doesn't look like ****!
2012 Street Bob. In an effort to avoid buying another fender, I chopped this one, moved the turn, brake, run lights closer to the main harness under seat to lessen the wires underneath the fender. Gonna use a GM adhesive, or something to stick (what do you think is best?).
My question is..,,,,,,I'm gonna get a side mount plate with a bolt light on it. But not sure how/which wire to tie into? Each turn signal has a blue running wire, and the main wires that were in the original tailight, has an orange/white wire in it that for run lights. Those wires are now disconnected (see pic).

I cleaned the inside surface of the fender really well, even an acetone wipe and used Gorilla Duct tape, I changed the rear turn signals two years later and that tape was still stuck nice an pretty, no flaky edges or peeling at all.
I'd use one of the blue wires,, the orange/white is keyed accessory power for add on lights,, so either one will work.
Here's wiring diagrams up to 09,, but they didn't change much on the dynas until I think 2013 with canbus;

I thought I read that that orange/white wire was for "Tail", which would make it always hot-right? But you think just tie into one of the blue's will do it? Not both of the blue's?
Thanks again

Purple/Brown=Turn
Blue=Run (always on for lights)
Purple/Brown w/stripe=Stop and/or Turn with Run (depends on model, most likely what you have)
Orange/White=Accessory Power, also power for plate light
Red/Yellow=Stop
Black=Ground
This might help

I have a blue (run), black, and purple running to each rear marker light, and I've got an orange/white, red/yellow, and black that were running directly into the tailight fixture, but are now dis-connected. Im thinking I can tie in to just one of those blue wires, probably the one on the left side of the bike, closest to the license plate light?

So you know-CANBUS- A Controller Area Network (CAN bus) is a robust vehicle bus standard designed to allow microcontrollers and devices to communicate with each other in applications without a host computer.

That might work, but I am not sure how it will act in relation to your sigs. I am not sure if the power to the blue wire is continuous when the sig or brake light is activated, that is something you'll have to test. Also, being on a CANBUS system, it might send a bad signal to the computer telling it you have a problem, over/under voltage maybe. I would just run the Black wire and the Orange/White wire to light the plate to leave it close to the original layout some it doesn't mess with your computer system.
