Rear Taillight, Brake Light, Turn signal wiring help
Good Evening Fellas,
Restoring a 1991 XLH 1200. Bike came to me without a rear fender, Brake/Running light, turn signals, and fender struts. I have bought the replacement fender, struts,and an Eagle Lights rear LED tail light that has the turn signals integrated into the main Brake/Running light. The light was designed for pre 1998 models (apparently it does not need a load equalizer, i'll find out soon)
When I got the light, it is partially plug n play, but it has a yellow and a blue wire that need to soldered.
I do not have the stock wiring for the tailights or the turn signals, so i'll need some input on what I need to do to wire these up starting from the female wire connector underneath the seat going back to the tail light. I have plenty of 16 gauge wire in 12 different colors so i'll be able to run wire, i just need to know how to set this up. Im a rookie at running electrical.
Any help or input would helpful.
I tried looking up the stock wiring in the online owners manuals, but there isnt much data to sort through on pre 1996 models on the online manual I was sourcing from.

To add,
I have the tail light base plate and the socket the light bulb would normally be seated in off of a 2003 sportster. I am not sure if the base plate will be the same as a 1991, I am hoping that this will be compatible. The Eagle LED tail light bolts up to it just fine, but the socket plate is slightly different from the earlier models. If I need to find another one, I will continue searching for it.
