Default Question on hooking up LED's ?

I have been looking at my service manual but unable to find the answers I need. I have located what looks like a small accessory plug under the seat. I have also located a small plug under the lining in my tour pack. That plug is beside the tour pack lighting plug. Both of those plugs are in the top left corner on the bottom of the tour pack under the lining, if you are sitting on the bike it would be behind your left shoulder. My Led's have two wires, a white one for power and a black one for ground. Can someone that's done this please help me out with some instructions ? For a reference my bike is a 2010 Ultra Classic. Thanks.

Does anyone know which plug is attached to the accessory switch on the right side of my dash ? The plug I really want to use because of location is the one in the tour pack. That small plug is actually shrink wrapped together with my tour pack light connector. I'm wondering if I could buy another small plug from my dealer and attach it to the LED wires then just plug it in. I always prefer not to cut off factory plugs if I can keep from it. My other idea was to cut the small plug off and then connect those wires to my LED wires using posi connectors from Custom Dynamics. That would probably be the quickest easiest way for me to make the connection. That idea only works if I'm guessing right about the plug. I could do the same thing with the plug under my seat. I just want to make sure the LED's go on and off with the other lights. I'm hoping someone can confirm if my idea is correct because I can't find the information in my service manual. Thanks.

Get a test light, connect one end to a ground, probe one of the wires on the empty connector under your seat, turn on and off your acc switch, if the test light comes on you found it, if it don't try the next wire. A service manual is your friend , YouTube might help too.
