Lemme try to explain a rough schematic of the way I ran the rear signal lamp wires.

LED Lamp Ground Wire ------> Signal lamp housing

LED Lamp Run Wire ----------> Fender Tip lamp wire (always on with key) running lamp

LED Lamp "Stop" Wire (this is the flasher wire) -----> Harley Harness Wire

The Brake lamp that I'm using now does not have integrated stop/turn capability, so it was a straight forward Red Brake Wire --> Red harness wire, and Green Run Wire --> Green Harness wire.

Now, FWIW, my rear signal lights to not illuminate as I expected with the key on. Not a big deal, not heartbroken. Can go in and monkey with that later if I decide to do so. Should just be a matter of moving the Signal lamp run leads from the fender tip light to the brake lamp Run wire, I think. I have amber LEDs though, so that might look kinda funny. Didn't think about that when figuring out the way I was going to run them initially. I do not intend to put a Run/Stop/Signal module in because I like the amber lights under smoked lens look.

With the seat removed, I have have access to a harness, I assume it is the correct "rear body" harness, but I don't have a schematic, wire color breakdown, or test light...

Ordered the Badlands LE-01. Now we wait again... Probably for the best though, doc still hasn't cleared me to ride yet. Press on with physical therapy for my shoulder, hopefully get out and ride in the next two weeks or so.

Got my Badlands LE-01 in the mail today. Instructions were clear and concise (even had a picture!) and the install went smoothly. Think the module will sit right on top of my ignition module under the seat, so that's where it sits right now. I was completely delighted to have fully functional LED turn signals after about 15 minutes of messing with the bike this evening before dinner! Now if my bum shoulder will heal up so I can get out and ride, I'll be golden!
