Default Daymaker led on softail breakout

Just bought the daymaker 5"3/4 led to put on my breakout

As i look out the light there is a 3 wire plug harness and a red wire all alone by itself, my question is where do i need to plug this red wire
Thx

I just hooked up the stock plug and it works fine. Sure want to find the answer to your question. The instructions didn't tell us anything.

you hook it up to the positive wire that goes to the small separate bulb on the stock headlight light and leave the negative one disconnected , that way there is a small led in the new headlight that comes on with the accessory position of the ignition switch.

I have same light. Don't worry about red wire. It is for the European market and a "parking light"
