Default Kat Eye Led Tail

I purchased and exteded fender for my flhx a bout a year ago and am finally getting around to installing it. The fender came with a pair of Kat-Eye led tail lights frenched into it. The problem is the wiring. These lights have 3-wires (red-stop, blue-turn, and black-ground). Im wiring them to connection under the seat which is 5 wires. Ive been fiddling with different combinations but haven't had any luck. Am I missing anything? Any advice is appreciated.

If there is only 3 wires, one will be left turn, one will be right turn, one will be running lights. You will have to ground the light at the mounting points.

You will then have to get a 5 to 4 trailer wiring adapter. Harley uses a separate wire for brake lights (like import vehicles use).

If I remember correctly, purple is left turn, brown is right turn, blue/white is running lights, red/yellow is brake, and black is ground.

Hope this helps.

Don't know if your bike has security but if it does it won't be happy with the LED lights. Will need a load equalized to make it work. Badlander makes one to use 2 lights for run/turn/brake.
