passing lamps on SG question
Hi
I just finished installing the passing lamp kit for the Street Glide. Very happy with the look, would have been an easier job if not for the damn confusing HD instructions.
My question is this, the passing lamps work fine with headlight on low beam but when I activate the high beam they shut off, Is this normal? As added info I have the HD garage door opener swhich is wired through the high beam, not sure If it is pertinent.
Thanks in advance
It's nothard to install passing lamps on a Street Glide. A HD Service Manual for your specific bike will be very helpful.
Here is a summary of the process of installing the passing lamps part #69818-06.
[blockquote]
1. Remove the battery cables, negative first. I just made sure the switch was off.
2. Remove the windshield.
[blockquote]
a. There are 7 screws that secure the outer fairing, 3 on the windshield and 4 on the fairing.
b. Loosen the 2 screws (torx) near the top of fairing.
c. Remove the 3 windshield screws.
d. Gently remove the windshield.[/blockquote]
3. Remove the fairing.
[blockquote]
a. No need to remove the headlight from the fairing
b. Remove the 4 screws (torx), 2 on each side, on the fairing. The outer fairing will fall off.
c. Remove the plug from the back of headlight[/blockquote]
4. Remove old turn signals.
[blockquote]
a. Trace the wires from each turn signal back its connector in the fairing. One connector on each side.
b. Unplug the turn signals
c. Remove the old turn signal assemblies from the front forks.[/blockquote]
5. Disassemble old turn signals.
[blockquote]
a. Note (write down) the location of the turn signal wires in each connector.
b. Using a straight pin release the pin lock and remove the 2 wires from each connector.
c. If you're doing it correctly, the wire comes right out. Don't force it.
d. Remove the turn signal from the old bracket.[/blockquote]
6. Assemble new passing lamp / turn signal assembly.
[blockquote]
a. Follow the directions in the kit.
b. Pay attention to the wire routing within the assembly.
c. You do not have to remove the pins from the turn signal wires.
d. Install a pin (included in the kit) on the end of each passing lamp wire (grey).
e. Put the turn signal wires (2) back into each connector.
f. Put the grey passing light wire into each connector. Look for the grey wire in the fairing connector for the correct location.[/blockquote]
7. Remove the fairing cap and the ignition switch.
[blockquote]
a. Turn the forks all the way to the left.
b. Look under the fairing cap (that's the plastic piece under the ignition switch that has places for 4 switches) and unplug the wiring harness.
c. Insert the key. Turn the ignition to unlock.Turn the ignition to fork lock.
d. Depress the release buttonon the bottom left of the ignition, push the key down and turn the key 60 degrees counter-clockwise.
e. Lift and remove the ignition ****. A spring will fall out of the ****.
f. Remove the nut (7/8") and spacer. You may have to turn the forks to the right to get at it.
g. Remove 2 screws (torx) from the fairing cap. 1 on each side.
h. Remove the fairing cap.[/blockquote]
8. Install the passing lamp switch.
[blockquote]
a. Follow the directions in the kit.
b. Remove the two screws that hold housing for the 2 left switches.
c. Install the passing lamp switch in the housing (left-most switch).
d. Re-install the switch housing into the fairing cap.
e. Install the wires from the passing lamp switch into the main plug.
f. Secure wiring neatly with wire ties

I had mine installed before I picked up the bike. I got 20% off lights & install that way. I recently added the visor rings to mine & love the way they look.

But like everyone has said just take your time.
I found that the hardest things were the routeing of wires and the ignition switch.
But man they do look great..
Now Friday with the help of good friends we are going to do the chrome slider kit.
Pray for me!
