I am in the middle of installing a Heartland kit on my 09 Rocker. It seems there is alittle more to this then just swapping out a fender and seat. I have the Heartland rear signals in the mail and they should be here by the time the fenders come back from paint. I really dont want to cut the female side of the Rear tail/brake light plug in. Is there anywhere you can buy one of these HD plugins?
Its funny you should ask, you can buy the molex/deutsch connector for 8.00 from the stealer and the pins but there are two capacitors soldered onto two ground wires (they are shrink wrapped but you can see the little boogers) that they do not sell. As a matter of fact you have to order the whole wiring harness to get those to capacitors (500).
So, my advice, get some 18 gauge wire, some molex pins/terminals and remove the stock turn signal wires from the back of the plug and run new wires to the heartland signals. Use a paper clip and GENTL press the tabs down and the old wires will just pop out of the plug. Hope this helps

Thanks for the info RocketRocker. I have the badlands illuminator and the heartland signals are in the mail. I just wanted to leave the stock fender and lights intacked.
It would be great to just find the plug and pins
j33ptj- that is some good gouge, this could be my electrical issue right now. Not trying to take over thread but I assumed that since the rear signals on our bikes have stock LEDs that a badlands was not required. What would happen if you didnt use the badlands on the rear fender? I have a similar set up as you have. Thanks
I know this is an old thread but I have a similar question.
I've got an 09 rocker as well but I'm switching out the stock LED rear turn signals for standard bulb type. I've got the standard model Rocker but it has the C model chrome turn signals. I'm trying to get rid of the gray and chrome and go with black so the rear signals need to go. The stock signals are 4 wire and the aftermarket lights are 2 wire. Is there a way to connect the 2 wire lights without loosing any of the 3 functions, Tail, Turn and Brake? If not what replacement lights are out there that will work and look like the stock bullet lights, in black?
That's what I did on my rocker two years ago. Did it in my garage with some primer and gloss black spray paint. They still look like they did they day I painted them.

Yes, but it will require a Badlands Illuminator. There are probably other modules out there that will do this too, I just have experience with the Badlands model.
Painting them has always been an option but I wanted the smoked lenses to black them out and sense the lenses on the stock ones don't come off I figured after market or stock non LED. I didn't realize the wiring would be such that a 2 wire non LED wouldn't work. It seems that everyone is switching to LED and using one of these aftermarket boxes to run the LED's. I'm going the other way and I'm guessing that it's not going to work.
