Wrap around LED??
Then the harness plugs in with some jumper wires between the rear lighting module and the rear lights.

Gents, I think i spent about $60 bucks and it was mostly on HD plugs so i could disconnect everything if/when i wanted to. I already had most of what i needed in my parts/tool boxes anyway. I finally figured out why i went to school for this. i have pics but they're in my phone for the moment. i'm currently recovering from my 3rd back surgery but don't mind helping out. i'm working on a word document at home with instructions and pictures in it.

I'm not slamming CD, i have their LED lights on my bike and my wife's as well and like them. If i wanted to make it cheaper i could really spend less than $12 and still look good. I just wanted water proof connections and i wanted it to look like a factory job not a hack job with crap hanging everywhere.
That being said, if you want it from CD then get it from them. all i'm trying to do is help people save money if they are looking into spending it elsewhere and help them learn about their electrical system. I spent maybe $2-3 on resistors and diodes? i already had all the wiring i'd need. no relays, thats what resistors and diodes are for.
My cost was on plugs, but you can get cheaper ones on EBay I've done that too and still have them in a box somewhere. when i buy plugs i buy for a few bikes in case i do something with my wife's, brother (who works at an HD dealer) or even a friends bike, sure they give me $ for the parts or time and sometimes pizza and icetea while talking crap and laughing about dumb stuff.

Did you go with the LED's in the TP or did you stay with incas?

I guess it really boils down to how you want it to look. if you want to use solderless connectors thats cool, just get the water proof ones, i took pics on my phone. basically tapped into the back of the lower tri bar light, isolated the run/brake/ground and ran it back to the pack, and used resistors and diodes to make the run/brake function. it's that simple.
I am breaking the steps down to make it easy to follow. if you're interested, send me an email and i'll send it out as soon as i'm done with it. like i mentioned, i just had back surgery and i'm doing it between medicated naps.
