Help with turn signal relocation onto passing light kit
I have a 2011 Fatboy and am installing the light kit that goes on both sides of my headlamp. I think its called a passing light kit... In the pictures of my bike on the harley website it shows that the turn signal lights should come right down from my handlebars onto the bottom of the light kit. My dealer doesn't seem to know what they are doing since when i asked i got silence.... Can anyone tell me what kit i need or what i need to do to complete the install? There is nothing about the relocation in the instructions that came with the light kit.

You need 69079-04a if you want the bullet signals vs. the Heritage ones. You can't use the signals from the bars, they only work up there. The kit comes with new signals and all the mounting hardware needed to put signals below the passing lights.

The turn signals will come down to fit under the passing lights... just take them off the handle bars. If the wires are internally run inside the handlebars, just disconnect at the plug under the tank and cut off the plug leaving some pigtail. Then see if the wires will pull up thru the handlebars. If not you will have to rewire the system. The hardware from the handlebars will work on the bottom of the passing lamps with a little modification. Good luck... it's not too complicated... just start and the rest follows.

Before signals:
After signal kit:
The stock signals have a stud, the lights on the light bar have a stud, I guess you could go to the hardware store and get a turnbuckle to connect them, but it would look like ****. Maybe the OP has some weird light bar setup. Pics would help.

You don't need to have a fancy setup like yours and still have it look good... the swivel mount from the handlebar can be fastened to the bolt coming from the passing lamps. The turn signals do not have to hang down any further than the length of the bolt... a chrome cylinder would be needed to cover the bolt...
