I am trying to put together parts to install a light bar and passing lamps on my 2019 Freewheeler.
I have the light bar and am now trying to order the passing light buckets. What I see in the pictures are a connector inside the bucket with the black ground wire fastened to the inside of the bucket. That leaves just the red wire coming out of the bucket mounting threads.
Is this right? With only one power wire to connect to what type connector would I need? I have the white connector pulled out from the tank and I think this is the connector to use?
It just doesn't quite seem right. I am thinking I need both power and ground wire to come out of the bucket.
I found connectors to attach to the light. They have two wires red and black without connectors. So all that I need to do is find which wire harness that connects the passing lamps to the main wire harness.
Domestic Freewheelers are not supposed to have an OEM option for passing lights. But it still can be done since they have an auxiliary light switch connector under the tank front left (it's the white connector you've found i think) and a power line at pins 5 and 6 in a left turn signal connector. So if you connect the switch (you will need road king aux light toggle switch illuminated or not doesnt matter) it will make the BCM feed the aux light circuit.
