Step away from the bike until it's cooler - like 6AM. I won't even embarrass myself by telling the stupid sh*t I do under those conditions. Lets just say that when you disconnect a trailer hitch, you have to disconnect everything before driving away. This hot weather is crazy.

If all else fails, get an electrical manual for your bike. Contact TL and find out which colors do what on the headlight. Once you figure that out, should be a piece of cake. As someone suggested, try pluggin it in to see if it works then clean it up.

Sorry I am so late in posting a reply, I've been out riding this evening with my new LED's installed!

Worked just like everyone said it would. So much brighter than the halogen lamps. I probably need to have the aim fine tuned, but I can tell I am going to like them a lot.

Now I need to order a new LED tail light.
