Driving Light Issue
OK..... bought a 2021 Street Glide and ordered driving lights for it. The lights came in, and I assembled to install yesterday. These came with small connectors to plug into wires from lights and then plug into wire harness. I have one driving light on, one not, no turn signals. I suspect it is the connectors and plugging in the wires. I used magnifying glass to determine which wire into which hole in connector, but not sure if there is a "right" way or "wrong" way to plug wires in. Small connectors, difficult to see, so hard to make sure they are in the right way. Anyone had this experience? I have a half-notion to just strip the wires, crimp together and heat shrink tubing and call it good. Damned wires are small and somewhat difficult to work with!!
Any suggestions welcome.

Deseago...... pretty much what I have done. The only thing I am not sure of is if there is a specific orientation that the wires from the lamp assy goes into the connector. My eyesight isn't what it used to be!! But I don't know if I inserted the wires in 90° or 180° off. Hard for me to see if there is a right and wrong way to insert the wires. Worst case scenario is to use crimp on connectors to attach wires (yes, I would cut the factory connectors off) hook up the wires, then heat shrink tubing onto each wire connector. Once these are installed, I don't plan to ever take them off again!
Still looking for any additional info....

Travel over to Ann Arbor and ask a Wolverine to help you out? LOL. Sorry…had to.
Can you snap/post pics of what you’re looking at?
Is there any chance that the system has to be flashed for them to work?

Sarcasm? ... Ann Arbor has been closed for years ... Moved to Brighton now it's closed too ... Motor City is rapidly becoming " big brother" ... I just had them deny gift certificates that were purchased in Brighton after having them ( Motor City ) tell me that they would be good in the future ... It's not the money, it's the principle :<(
Larry..... I think the ann arbor comment was a "poor" joke on my screen name!!! 
But I am happy to say I got the lights working. The instructions are somewhat vague. It turns out you need to be very specific on how you place the wires in the connector. Went to the dealer and spoke with a mechanic and he sketched me how the connectors should go. I came home and spent a bit of time looking under a magnifying glass and got the wires inserted the right way. Hooked them up and lo and behold, they worked!! If the instructions had mentioned some direction of the wires to be inserted, it would have been a whole lot easier!
So I am up and running! Thanks to all who responded.
