I bought the 2014 Touring Saddlebag and Sumax Mounting Bracket to install on my Dyna Street Bob. I also bought the Electra Glo. To check which color represent for brake, run and turn??
One side is purple / black & green / purple & white
The other side is blown / black & white / blown & white

My rear and tail light is combine in a housing that has four wire black, green, white & red that I want to combine to the Electra Glo

I don't remember, but they're stock colors. If you run out to the garage and look at your bike, the answer should be clear.

I have tested it.

Electra Glo
Purple (Three LEDs lighted on the left) / Black & Green (Negative) / Purple & White (Three LEDs lighted on the right)



Existing light
Red (Brake) / White (Positive) / Green (Turn) / Black (Negative)


How can I combine these two light, the Electra Glo and the Existing light?

I have draft a wiring diagram to combine the Existing Light with the Electra Glo. Anyone can help to check will it work or will it cause short circuit?

1. Can I join both the Negative wire from Existing Light with the Electra Glo together?
2. Can I combine the two Electra Glo wires and connect to Existing Light Brake and Running separately?



Existing light
Red (Brake) / White (Positive) / Green (Turn) / Black (Negative)


Electra Glo
Purple (Three LEDs lighted on the left) / Black & Green (Negative) / Purple & White (Three LEDs lighted on the right)

You have splice them together somehow. Either cut and join the wires or find a breakout harness/adapter. I would suggest contacting Electra glo to see if they sell an adapter.

hopefully somebody with late model experience will chime in. I'm more of a cut & solder kinda guy...

Do you think as long negative and positive didn't short, is it ok to combine the Running & Brake?

Probably won't work. I'm not familiar with the late model Electrics. If the output from the bike is all unmodulated 12v, I believe you'll lose your brake light function. Wouldn't hurt to try it, tho.

I'm working on an old bike so things are a bit more straightforward. I'm using a trailer wiring adapter to get turn/brake/run all into one lamp.
