Default Adding brake lights

I'm putting saddlebags on my harley 48 2016 and that requires to relocate turn signals and brake lights so I decided to convert to led lights well the stock wires only have a 3 wire setup so I need to run a wire directly from the brake switches but I'm concerned that If i run 2 +positive wires to one light it is going to short out can anyone provide any solutions to this?

Question

What LED lights are you using? It will help us to better understand why you need 4 wires. I can't see why you need any more then three: ground, turn and brake.

Not sure what saddlebag lights you're running, but the Stealth Saddlebag LED Run-Brake-Turn Lights will wire directly up to the wires on your Sporty.

This video is not of a Sporty, but the principle is the same-



There are multiple circuits in these Stealth LED's, so running multiple hots to it is a non-issue.
