Aux. Lights
I brought a set of auxulilary lights for my 2017 SGS. I do have a few questions for those in the know
if you dont mind.
How can you remove the plug in wire that you installed in the wrong numbered plug inlet?
The unit came with the switch to turn the lights on but is there a place where you plug it into?
The sponge pads with one sided adheasive where do you install them in the light fixture?
Do I need to buy anything that wasn't included in the kit?
Thank you in advance fellas.

The kit should have detailed directions for the installation.On your question on how to remove a terminal,I would suggest stopping by a Harley dealer and have them show you how to do it correctly or check it out on a Y-tube video.

What exactly did you buy?
H-D or aftermarket?
Using direct wiring w/switch or stock wiring w/oem type (ie Ultra/Limited) switch?
These details will make a difference in which answers apply.

If you have put a single wire in the wrong hole, take a close look at the other wires. I suspect you will find a small tab sticking out, which once pushed into the plug snaps into place and prevents the wire coming back out. To remove the wire it you need a small tool, possibly a jewellers screw-driver, to depress that tab, to release it from the plug.
Your experience should tell you to be better prepared in future! When working on your bike the FSM is invaluable and cheap as chips.....

the back of the manual has wiring diagrams and instructions on how to connect and disconnect any wire from any plug on the bike.

started to put them together. They are together but the instructions don't show you were to
install the soft pads in the light housing and if I needed any other pig tails for in install. I know
it plug and play on the sides where the blinkers are now but is the on/off switch a plug in when
I go to install. I will get a manual as others have stated when I go to Black Widow. Do you know
where to get the pig tail to keep the aux. lights on when your high beams are on?

I brought the HD lights Hammz and my bike is in NY. I had the lights delivered to Flordia and I

OEM light switch for the Aux lights is located on the console left switchpack. This switchpack is a canbus device that provides a digital signal to the BCM which then turns the lights on/off. Your SGS may not have the switchpack installed so you may need to purchase the switchpack & the switch? The wiring itself should already be there.
The instructions for that kit indicate you need a "Y harness" but only for 2004 or earlier bikes. For Rushmore models (2014 & later baggers) there is no pig tail to keep aux lights on when on high beam; that option is a simple software change the dealer can perform using the Tech II.
