If the lights are to dim you can send them to Radiantz and have them install
Brighter LED's in it

Thanks man, I just finished the install on my 2013 Street Glide [Chrome yellow pearl].Used your step by step and it was a breeze.I may look for some water-tight connectors to put between the bag and seat so I won't have to remove the seat to remove the bag for wheel cleaning etc.. thanks,Mike

Use the rubber washer and metal washer with the 3/16" bolt and fix the spoiler in place. You will have to press a little to get the rubber gasket to compress.

Drill the hole on the saddlebag. Instructions asks that you drill a 3/8" hole in front of the shock absorber area, 2" from the lip of the saddlebag.

Once you have drilled the hole on both sides, insert the rubber grommet in the hole.

same drill... insert the wires, not all pins will go in at once, so do it one at a time...

Insert the pins in the plug... White in 1, Red in 2, Black in 3

Remove the seat... search for the connector. Mine was in the middle of the bike but a little towards the left side. It was plugged with a rubber cap. Remove the rubber cap, insert the female end from the splitter. Then insert each of the plugs from the lights of the spoilers into the splitter cable. Use the provided tie wraps to organize and hold the wires in place. I forgot to take photos of this... will take the seat out, snap a few and update the thread.

Test that everything works... install the seat back. Sit back with your favorite install drink and admire your work.

Hey. I'm trying to remove the electrical connections from the black connector where it disconnects from the bike to remove the saddle bag. Any ideas on how?? I purchased a new lower bag and am reusing the old lid with the spoiler. But can't figure out how to get these wires out of the connector. I flipped up the little black tab, but don't want to just yank on the wires to get them out. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Great write up too!!
