Default Electra Glo on Dyna

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 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 can probably check on-line, by going to the H-D website and the Shop tab, to find those lamps. There is usually a link showing installation instructions. May help confirm your research!

Hi blueangel, I bought the Electra Glo. It is originally for Touring model, I want to install on my Dyna.



My existing rear light wiring are:
Red (Brake) / White (Positive) / Green (Turn) / Black (Negative)




The Electra Glo has six LEDs on each lamp, I tested one of the lamp using a 9v battery
Purple (Three LEDs lighted on the left) / Black & Green (Negative) / Purple & White (Three LEDs lighted on the right)




I have draft a wiring diagram, thinking to combine my existing rear light with the Electra Glo. To check will it work or will it cause short circuit?

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