Default Need help wiring

Posted this in electrical but got no response. I need help wiring my Custom Dynamics LED lights that I am putting on my engine guard. I have virtually no clue how to wire these and they come with no harness or instructions. I ordered the MOCO harness that leaves them on regardless of high/low beam, but have no clue beyond that. Can I just wire them straight to the ACC switch? Is that hot all the time? I wired a whole house, but bike electronics confuse me. I can afford just sending bringing it to the stealership, but want to learn more about my bike. Can someone help me?

the acc plug has multiple pins ( depending year /model)

My 09 has pins for:

acc switch controlled 12 VDC +

12 VDC + "on" with ignition/light ( fused with the P&A fuse- this hot then runs to the Acc switch above)

12 VDC + "on" with brake light

use a test light and you'll see which is which

So, Speedwaysteve, you are saying that I can attach wiring, using those little ends that attach to wires and then plug into a harness, into said harness and that harness plugs into a plug under the seat? Is it labeled by any chance? Did you use the harness from MOCO that allows high/low beam constant on?

Sorry, I hate to keep asking questions, but just not familiar with it.

If you want to use the accessory connector under the seat, the parts you will need are identified in this link:

http://www.harley-davidson.com/en_US...ts/-J01544.pdf

The parts you will want are 1, 4, and 6 in the picture on the first page.

The switched circuit in the ACC connector is chamber 3, and chamber 1 is the ground. The numbers are very small and are embossed at the wire insertion side of the connector.

Suggestion: Buy the HD service manual for your bike--best accessory purchase you will ever make IMO.
