Default Switch Housing

I know that this question has been asked ans answered before, but I am having a hard time finding it.
So can someone tell me how to get the wiring from the turn signal through the lower part of the swith housing on the left grip?

Thanks,

Will

Well what I would do is trace the wires to the connector or somewhere where you can cut the wires and then resolder and shrink tube them.

Well are they made for the bike ? You probably got a project there. I never saw the wiring like that on the Rocker but you will need to improvise, adapt and overcome. Seriously you have to find the connector and either take apart with a paperclip or such. Second choice is cut and solder wires.
