RE: lighting question
No,I have a 06 ultra that already has the tour pak lights,but they only work as brake and running lights. I would like to add the turn signal feature also.

RE: lighting question
If you were to put in a Run/Brake/Turn signalcontroller, one that operates a single contact bulb or led on your lollipops, and ran a pair of wires from each lollipop to your respective tour pack lights, and then replaced the dual contact sockets with single contact sockets, like your lollipops, and put in 1156 or equiv bulbs or led.... Then if no load balance was necessary for your turn signal controller...
Lot of 'maybe' work, but electrically it can be done.

Is there a kit available to make the lights in the tour pak work as turn signals also?

Am I missing something here? Do you want your TP lightbar run/brake lights to become 3 function, run/brake/signal?
Or are you talking about the side marker lights on the Tour Pack?

RE: lighting question
I don't know which controller you have, but the concept applies to any single pin, 1156 typelight. You can route the same electrical path from your run controller that services each rear light to your Tour Pack lights. They will have to be single pin sockets and bulbs, just like the lollipops. Warning. I don't know if your controller will carry the load. I wouldrun a load test and jumper in an addition set of single 1156 or equiv of your lollipops before I cut the dual leads in the TP. You may toast the controller. An Alternative would be to by a separate controller and run the TP ( w/ new single contact bulbs) off of it.
Now comes the 'Idiot Disclaimer'.
I had on an 'Amber/ClearAux light' threadstated the amber may not be legal in 'your' area and spoken about Virginia incorrectly. I don't know why HD did not emulate a system that Off Shore manufacturers use that makes a GoldWing look like the 4th of July when stopping or turning. May be a reason. Dunno. On my wife'sTrike I wired in a Smart controller to give her Flashing Brake lights, but alas no signals. It adds attention getting Lumens. Her turns are still amber and far enough away from the TP.
Here is why I want more flash for hers. It was the Billings buster
