Default 2012 FatBoy - wanting to install LED brake/blink

Hi there, I searched but didn't see anything that answered my question, so I apologize if I missed it.

I have a 2012 FatBoy. I am adding hard bags with LED lights. I would like them to be blinkers & brake lights, and I'm having trouble finding any wiring information. Can someone give me some insight of where to splice into?

The LED's have 3 wires, white (Neg) Black (Pos, stage 1: on) and red (Pos, stage 2: on brighter)

I also purchased the load resistors.

Thanks in advance.

You can use a Kuryakyn or Custom Dynamics Run/Turn/Brake Controller. Both are plug and play. Only takes a couple of minutes to install.

Thanks Misbehaven, I appreciate the recommendation, though I was hoping someone could help me with the wiring, I wasn't expecting to have to buy another component.
I've spent so much already, I really thought that taking the stock blinkers off and replacing them with an LED would be simple. thanks.

Sorry I can't offer th help you need. Might want to check out the service manual's electrical schematic if you have one. Me and wiring = fires. I don't like to mess with it much. LOL
