i wrote up how i did exactly what you ask.youll have to go to my whatever and find it in post i started.if you still have questions email or pm me.there is already a fuse in my fuse block on the circut i used and just ran a jumper in the plug up front.still used a relay

Like mine for the added visibility. Not really sure how much light they add for me as a rider. I am not all that mechanically inclined s my are wired on the outside.

I bought the twenty dollar fog light switch that goes in the dash of like an Ultra and then wired the fog lights like you would the standard harley Round driving lamps.

You would buy the switch and four pins. The pins go in the same connector inside the batwing as the turn signals.... easy.

Engine guard drilling.

Hi Harley-Jones,

Hard to see from your picture of the mounted fog lights but is the wire hole drilled so that the wires pass into the engine guard and the clamp hides the wires or did you drill the hole to the side of the clamp leaving the wires visible.

How hard is the engine guard to drill?

Sorry if the above questions seem a bit basic but I am trying to get everything straight in my head before I take a drill to the engine guard.

Hope that makes sense.

Cheers for any advice you can give me,

Chris.

England.

Chris, if you have these lamps and study them they lend themselves to being installed so the wires are out of sight. In other words drill through the guard under the clamp when the lamp is fitted.

Fog Lights Install.

Cheers for that. In my own mind that was the case but I wanted to make doubly sure over everything before I drill the guards.
