Wiring for indicator lights
Wiring for indicator lights
I am getting ready to start putting my bike back together and am putting a set of FXDL indicator lights in the headlamp eyebrow. I bought these used, so the wires do not have a connector, they are just cut. I will need to splice them into my existing connector. My question is how do I do this? Both wires coming from each light are black with no writing or indicators on the wires as to which one is positive and which is ground. Can they be wired either way?

Thanks. Unfortunately I don't think this will help. This diagram shows that the wires should be color coded, and they are all plain black so I have no way of telling them apart.
Could you post an image of the actual harness?

Sure thing. Here is the harness (green stuff is just tape on the wires labeling which light is which from the seller, does not indicate anything about the wiring itself):
And here is one single light I took out of the harness:
I can't really pop the lights apart, as they seem to be closed units. even the replacement units from HD come as the closed unit. These are used though.

I will check the lights on my 2003 FXD tomorrow and let you know what I found.....
