Default Rear running lights

I have a 2012 RK and am wondering how you go about making the rear turn signals double as running lights? If someone has done this I'd sure like some insight on what it takes to get it done. I just got back from an evening walk and saw two RK's with them and they sure do brighten up the rear of a bike.

Thanks.

I got the HD plug in module that makes them both running and brake lights.
Correction: they only come on with brakes.

you need the run/turn/brake light conversion kit from HD (or I think kuryakyn as well as others make one too)

The HD part # is 69461-06C and is easy to install.
Pull the seat off, unplug a harness, plug this one in, change your orange lenses to red lenses (included) and you're done. take longer to get the seat off than to install it.

I just did this install yesterday afternoon and it took all of 15 minutes. It works great and looks great!

The module and lenses cost $59 and is a nice thing to have if you want more lighting on the rear.

Thanks.
