07 FXST lights?
Hey everyone, I just bought a new FXST and as it is a couple states south of me and I won't see it for a couple of weeks I have a question.
I am importing this bike into Canada and need to know if the running lights and low beam are allways on.
Thanks
Gord

Yes, all Harley's have had the lights permenently "turned on" for a number of years now, not sure how long but its been a while now.
So as long as the ignition is on, so are the two front turn signals ( at low power), the headlight, and tail light are all on.

Thanks for the quick reply.
Thats good to hear, makes getting it plated up here much eaiser.

No problem, and congrats on the new ride.
Just remember we need to see some pics as soon as possible, its a little like the price of admission.
Let the modding begin!!!
Your wallet is going to hate you if you hang around here much.

Unfortunately, the FLSTC 2007 we had here doesn't comes with running lights. Headlight is auto though.
Anyone know how to 'turn on' the running lights, some wiring required, i guess.

RE: 07 FXST lights?
Normal front turn signals have a two element 1157 bulb in them.
One element is for the running light and the other is for the turn signal.
If they really do have 1157's in there and wires for both elements there shouldbe a running light circuit in there.
Trick is going to be finding it and figuring out why its not already working.
I would start with testing the two circuits to see if there is power to them.
Then make sure there's afuse that's not blown for the circuit.
If they have 1156 single element bulbs like the rear ones, and you want them to work as running lights, I suggest you start looking through e-bay for a pair of front signals that do have the two element (1157) bulb sockets
