isn't there a mod to make the current running light a brake light by just moving the pin connection?

I just tried this and all it did was cause the license plate light to turn off when I applied the brake. The tribar did not change??? I also tried moving the 1 pin to the second position. I got the same result. BTW, I have an 08 FLHX.

I am no expert, but I would like to try and see if I can figure this out with your help. I understand what you are saying, but I do not see how to make it work without putting a jumper wire or something. In order to be able to talk more clearly about this, I have attached a copy of the electrical diagram from the service manual for reference.

There are only two wires on the tribar light connector, and both are black. The brake light is a whole seperate connector below the tribar connector. So how do you tap into the red wire from connector 3 on \\;the brake connector so that you can activate the tribar light when you apply the brakes?
 \\;
Thanks for your patience! \\;

Move the wire in the tri-bar connector that currently connects to the blue (run light) wire in the TP harness to the empty chamber so that it connects with the red/orange wire in the TP harness. \\; The TP connector is shown on the main wiring harness diagram in the SM.
 \\;
The wiring diagram you posted is irrelevant for this mod since the tri-bar LED doesn't use the wiring in the diagram on an SG.
