'06 Heritage Softail - no fender lights?
OK, so why does the '06 Heritage Softail FLSTI not have lights under the lenses on the fenders? I pulled the cover off the lens, and nothing. There's about a 3/8" hole in the fender under the lens housing, apparently for a wire. And a couple of holes in the lens housing to apparently screw the light socket into. But no wiring or light socket! Was this just another attempt to cut costs? I assume that it would be possible to install the hardware? Just more $$$$, I guess. I'd really like to have the lights! Has anybody done this?
Thanks,
Jeff

I'd get into the parts layouts in the parts book and svc manuals and look at the oem wiring parts on the two bikes.
Might just be able to by the FLSTC parts and do the install on the FLST.
Might be simple.. might not.

I've noticed that on mine as well. I was looking at it last night trying to figure how I would even go about wiring it. I'd have to look at a Classic to see how it done at that.

Yeah, I need to look at one and see how it's set up. Does the wire to the front fender light just run down one of the fork legs to the fender? I guess it has to, but I've never noticed it before. I guess it's just one of those things you don't notice unless you're looking for it...

I was thinking you could tie it to the brake cable in the front. Not sure about the rear. I'll try to stop off at HD on the way home and look at a classic. I'll see what the parts guy says too.

RE: '06 Heritage Softail - no fender lights?
OK - I looked at a Classic and saw that the wire is tied on to the brake cable, then goes through the side of the fender - there's a grommit in the hole where the wire goes through. It looked like it was connected to the headlight. I didn't have a chance to check out the back, but there's enough back there to attach the wire to. The parts guy suggest talking to service to find out how to wire it up. It may not be as hard as it seems.
