Default Tail light question...

Is there a device made for the rear turn signals so that they are turned into running lights and also act like break lights? I have seen one that plugs in and turns them into brake lights but not running lights also. The way I see it, the more lights the better (to a point), anything to help be seen in my book.

I think Kuryakn has one that makes run/turn/brake lights out of the single filament rear signals, as does Badlands.

I have these..
Harley makes a set of LED signal light stalks that do a nice job of adding tail and running lights to the rear of the bike.




Here's a link

HD LED lights.

Yes - HArley makes a module for this, it was $35.00. Sorry I do not know the part #

You may want to PM RDKingRider - I think he has the HD one on his bike.

Call your dealer. HD makes a kit that takes 15 minutes to install. Easy peasy.

Kurykyn makes a very good unit. it runs the rear turn signals as running lights (they still function as turn signals) so you will need red lenses. When the brake is applied all three lights flash three times before going solid red. They are very visible. I don't think the HD unit has has the trun signals functioning as running lights, only brake.
