Aux light help
I just got a set of black Harley aux lights and mounted them on my 2013 SG but Im having trouble figuring out the wiring. The directions suck. I see the color coded wired for the turn directionals and where they go but I have a grey wire and a black wire for the aux light and not sure where they plug into. I assume the grey wire plugs in next to the 3 wires for the turn signal but not sure where the black wire goes. help!!

Can't guarantee it's the same, but on my 2010 FLHTC the gy/bk wire is plus voltage and comes from the spot toggle switch through two four pin connectors shared with the turn signal wiring. Black wire shows connected to ground at the lamp

Is there a connector on the end, you know a plug? Or is the plug missing. If the plug is there it just replaces the plug where the turn signals were going. You have to pull the outer fairing to get to the plug.

Have to agree with you on the "sucky directions" part because I had to read through them ~10-times just to get an inkling on how to install the aux lamp kit. If you're looking at the directions for kit 69818-06 look at figure #5 on page 3 where it shows the fairing cap & harness connector (#105). This is where you'll need to connect the grey & black wires. On the next page (#4) figure 6 shows which wires go to the pins in harness #105 and it should be pin connection/position 6 (yellow), connection/position 7 (gray) and connection/position 8 (black). That covers the aux switch into your inner fairing. For the turn signal/aux wires coming from the brackets, you'll need to crimp duetsch pins on them and insert into the connector(s) inside your fairing where the current turn/run wires are connected. Should be 4-position connector & the wiring for both sides is Pin-1/BLU, Pin-2/PURP & Pin-3/BLK. That should be all the wiring connections for this kit. Good Luck!

This would be a good time to add the adapter that keeps the aux lights on when high beams are. I'm sure there are wiring techs here that can tell you how to do it without the harness but not me.

The free way is to switch the acc switch hot wire and the hot wire for the aux light switch. They are next to each other in the connector. Now the aux lights will stay on even with the brights. Down side is anything connected to the acc switch goes off with the brights, but for me, nothing is connected so not a big deal.

definitely agree with the sucky directions, but after reading through this thread and several others i think i know how to complete my install. But i also bought the 4" LED lamp kit 73396-10a, but wondering if i am missing a connector. The gray wire in the housing has 1 type of connector, then the black ground has another type, and then the LED light has something completely different?? I didn't see any other type of connector in there??
I included a picture.
Also, is there some trick/tool to adjust things after everything is installed because with the wire through the nut, how do you loosen/tighten??
Thanks

Just finished the install on a 2011 Street Glide. You were right with the 4 position connectors for the right and left assembly. The directions did not agree with wire locations on my bike....I matched wire colors. Blue 1, Violet 2, black 3 and the gray/black in the last position. Actually the right side may have brown in the 2 position...couldn't really tell. And who in the hell has a crimping tool for the freak'n pins?
One last question....I did do the mod to keep auxiliary lights on for Hi & Low beam....The spot switch however has a green light which in my case is on when the auxiliaries are OFF and goes off when I turn the lights ON??? Seem backwards but maybe it is to help you find the switch in the dark
One more question.....lamps did not specify + or - so assumed it didn't matter which side was ground.
