Streetglide tribar from running light to brake light?
I have a 07 EGC I installed a Streetglide rear fender extension on. My question is can you change the tribar light from a running light to a brake light by simply splicing into the brake light wiring? Can the LED handle the added load of a brake light? Anyone done this? I know you can buy a part from dealer to convert it from a running light to a running/brake light but I would like to simply convert it to a brake light.

If you go this route, think about replacing the 4 HD LED's that are in there now with a few strips. If not, there will not be much light output.

Yea, you don't really "Blow" LED's. If they are not working, you either fried them by shorting something, or a wire is just not making good contact. Make sure you have 12v at the wire for the brake light. Make sure you have a good ground. and you could Ohm through the LED I guess, it should have some resistance, not sure how much but if it reads INFINITE, or open, you may have a bad LED set now.

I love that he taught me about the flow of electricity basics way back then. It made learning Avionics a bit easier!
