Passing Lamp install
I just bought a used set of passing lamps with the mounting bracket and the flat turn signals. I'm wanting to leave my bullet turn signals in the under the mirror location. The question is, where do I plug in the passing lamps, my Road King Custom has 2 aux swithces sort of behind the headlight. I'm guessing I can just remove the "flat" turn signals and not use them. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

RE: Passing Lamp install
From your discription< I am guessing you bought a used set of EG passing lamps.
If this is true, you will have four wires coming from each side of the bracket. The Grey/Black wire on each side is your passing lamp, and the other three are for the turn indicator.
On the EG, all four wires go into the sameconnector and plug in inside the fairing. Connectors #31L and #31R (four place multilock)
On the roadking, the two passing light wires go into one plug and plug into a connector inside your headlight, Connector #73 (two place multilock and it is white) Looking into your headlight at the wiring, this connector is at about the 6 o-clock postionand have two grey/black wires.
The turn signal wires go to Connector #31 (6 place multilock) but you will need to splice in to run all four turn indicator lights in front.

RE: Passing Lamp install
My plan was to remove the turn signals that are below the passing lamps and just use my original bullet ones in their current location under the mirrors. Can the turn signals be removed or do they have to be there for the passing lamps to be secure? I don't have the unit yet, it is being shipped. From my memory, photo that I don't have in front of me there was some wires that had 2 connectors, I guessing 1 for the lamps and 1 for the signals. Do I have to remove the headlight to get to the connections that you are talking about?
If I decide to use the new signals and do away with my bullets, what would I do with the wiring that is currently going to my bullet signals?

The way it is setup on the ones you are getting, the lollipops are a part of the lower bracket where the lights mount.
The bracket at arrow #1 screws into the bottom of the passing lamp.
The piece at arrow #2 is part of the lollipop. the wires comeout where those two meet.

If you choose to just use the lollipops, you will take the wires from them and insert them in the 6 place multilock that your existing wires are in now.
And the two grey wires will go to the other connector. Before you buy them,I would make sure they were taken apart from the connectors, and not cut.
If they were cut, you may possibly need to add wire, and connector"pins" to make them work on your setup.
To answer your other question, yes the wiring is behind your headlight on a roadking.
