Default back lites

My front directionals are lit as well as headlight when riding, are the back directionals and taillight supposed to be on too? Obviously when braking there is the brake light, but no driving lights.


Thanks, Joe

Harley makes a module that plugs in line with the rear lights.
It's called a Run-Stop-Turn Module & does what you want. I have one on my Dyna.

Your "tail light" should be on when the bike is on. Check tail/brake bulb.

Thanks guys. If I want rear directionals on I need a module, but tail light should be on. I thought so, 1 of the filaments must be broken.
