Blinkers as Running lights only
Our Triple Play will give you run, brake, and turn on your rear signals, and you can choose whether or not the brake strobe feature is enabled on the signals. However, run and turn only is not an option with our modules. If we can clarify anything further, just give us a call at 800-382-1388!

I'm not sure who's R/B/T module I used but it wasn't a plug-n-play, it was a cut and tap, so I had the option of connecting runs and/or brakes.
Which is what I did being my 94 had turns only in the rear.

I did it on a previous bike. Just change out the "guts" of the stock turn signals to 1157 sockets, and splice in or tap into the extra wire to the running circuit to the stock tail light running circuit. However, you probably want to do this only if the bulbs in the turn signals are also changed to LEDs, so they won't draw too much power on that running circuit, blowing the fuse. Not sure if CANBUS might affect your ability to do this, though. Also, you shouldn't need a load equalizer or changing the flasher module unless you change both front and rear signals to LED, and I've heard that if you bike is a '14 or newer, you don't need one anyway.

Easy. The module just drives the single filament bulb at a lower voltage to implement the driving light (about 7 volts.)

So how is it that any of these modules, either the one from Harley or any of the aftermarket R/B/T setups, work without changing out the sockets to 1157? While I am now pretty sure the only way for me to accomplish what I want is by doing something a little more custom like you're talking about I am confused as to how any of these plug and play setups actually do what they say they will. Seems like to get a running light feature at all you would need an 1157 bulb in there.
Alternatively, you could install an adapter like this (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Namz-Canbus...1/361474668069), or this (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Namz-Rear-F...1/122947344534) and simply add other running/brake lights to the back, or tie either of these into the 1157 socket in the turns.
