Default HD Run/Turn/Brake Module

I installed one of these last year and all is well. I just never noticed that the Front Turn lights stay on as Run lights also. Is this the way it's suppose to be?

Never took notice myself. Put one on the wife's Deluxe last year and thought it was just for the back lights. If that's the case, it's an extra plus.

Nope, Harleys come from the factory with the front lights wired as running lights, as well as turn signals. The module has nothing to do with the front lights.

Interesting, for some reason I thought they weren't on when the bike was stock without the module. Maybe I'll disconnect the module and see what happens.

It's the module HD sells.


Thanks,

Mike
