LED light mirror install wiring question
Hi all,
First time posting. Thanks in advance for help.
I am installing the LED mirrors on my Blackline Softail. I plugged them in and no lights.
In my model bike, there is an open connector under the tank. Following the instructions, I plugged one side of each y adapter into a six prong socket, and the other side of each y adapter into a six prong plug. I tried to follow the picture, but it was less than clear as to which side of the y adapter went into the socket, and which into the plug. By the way, the socket never doe get connected with anything. It just seems to be a way to get the wires organized for storage.
Can anyone shed light into exactly how the y adapters are connected, and what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks much,
Bill

Thanks madsonp. I tried reversing the leads from the mirror to the y adapter and no change. Does that mean I need to reverse the y adapters themselves? Appreciate the help.

Perhaps a stupid question: do these mirrors only light up after the engine is started? I have reconfigured the leads every which way and do not see a flicker. I wanted to confirm the lights are working before putting my tank back on, reconnecting fuel, and starting the engine. Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks.

I wouldn't think it would make a difference if the engine is running or not as long as the the main switch is on and the handle bar switch is on run. I suggest you get a multimeter and test each pin in the harness for voltage and take it from there.
