Default 2008 Electroglide Standard Light Upgrades

I love my new to me Electroglide. But I don't like the lack of lighting in the back for daylight or nite driving. I did upgrade the main stail-light to Led which helped some. Also installed a three bar LED Tail dragger light. For me still not enough.

Two more lights I have ordered but having trouble connecting. the first is an airfoil Led lite for the rack on top of the tour pak. The instructions say there is a connector under the seat.(Can;t find it).

The 2nd is a conversion light set for the real turn signal lights, which changed the lens color to red, gives me running lights, brake lites and turn signals, if I could figure out the connections.

Any help on the connections would be appreciated.

Thanks

the 2nd conversion mentioned above is simply a "y" adapter that plugs in under the seat.

the air-foil lights should have come with a "y" adapter as well that plugs into the factory harness located under the tour-pak liner inside the tourpak

You may want to consider the "bright *** lights." as a replacement for the tail light too.
They are super bright compared to the stock light.

Here's a post on them

ElectroPod flashing LED brake light's are small but very bright and attention getting. Just stuck a pair on my 02. You can see them on U-Tube and E-Bay.
