How hard is it to add passing lamps to my 07 Street Glide??? The dealer tells me its to difficult for me, but I have done all my other mods and added different lights to my bike already..... Anyone have a opinion???

 

I added the running lights to the crash bar. Not too bad of an install. The directions call for removing the gas tank but I just loosened it and that was enough to feed the wires to the battery. Used the existing toggle auxilliary switch on the console and wired them direct so they work whether or not I am on low beam. Very pleased with them. Good luck!

 

 

If you want to do it right it involves taking off not only the fairing but the fairing capand adding a switch.
Don't forget you have to buy the billetblinkers and passing lamp bulbstoo.

Bracket 69818-06
Passing lamp bulbs 68208-98A there are other choices for bulbs, tinted,,,
Blinkers 69228-04 other choices available also.

 

It's not hard to install passing lamps on a Street Glide. A HD Service Manual for your specific bike will be very helpful.

Here is a summary of the process of installing the passing lamps part #69818-06.

1. Remove the battery cables, negative first. I just made sure the switch was off.

2. Remove the windshield.

a. There are 7 screws that secure the outer fairing, 3 on the windshield and 4 on the fairing.
b. Loosen the 2 screws (torx) near the top of fairing.
c. Remove the 3 windshield screws.
d. Gently remove the windshield.

3. Remove the fairing.

a. No need to remove the headlight from the fairing
b. Remove the 4 screws (torx), 2 on each side, on the fairing. The outer fairing will fall off.
c. Remove the plug from the back of headlight

4. Remove old turn signals.

a. Trace the wires from each turn signal back its connector in the fairing. One connector on each side.
b. Unplug the turn signals
c. Remove the old turn signal assemblies from the front forks.

5. Disassemble old turn signals.

a. Note (write down) the location of the turn signal wires in each connector.
b. Using a straight pin release the pin lock and remove the 2 wires from each connector.
c. If you're doing it correctly, the wire comes right out. Don't force it.
d. Remove the turn signal from the old bracket.

6. Assemble new passing lamp / turn signal assembly.

a. Follow the directions in the kit.
b. Pay attention to the wire routing within the assembly.
c. You do not have to remove the pins from the turn signal wires.
d. Install a pin (included in the kit) on the end of each passing lamp wire (grey).
e. Put the turn signal wires (2) back into each connector.
f. Put the grey passing light wire into each connector. Look for the grey wire in the fairing connector for the correct location.

7. Remove the fairing cap and the ignition switch.

a. Turn the forks all the way to the left.
b. Look under the fairing cap (that's the plastic piece under the ignition switch that has places for 4 switches) and unplug the wiring harness.
c. Insert the key. Turn the ignition to unlock. Turn the ignition to fork lock.
d. Depress the release button on the bottom left of the ignition, push the key down and turn the key 60 degrees counter-clockwise.
e. Lift and remove the ignition ****. A spring will fall out of the ****.
f. Remove the nut (7/8") and spacer. You may have to turn the forks to the right to get at it.

h. Remove the fairing cap.

8. Install the passing lamp switch.

c. Install the passing lamp switch in the housing (left-most switch).
d. Re-install the switch housing into the fairing cap.
e. Install the wires from the passing lamp switch into the main plug.
f. Secure wiring neatly with wire ties.
g. Re-install the fairing cap. 2 screws (torx) 1 on each side.

9. Install the passing lamp / turn signal assemblies.

a. Install the passing lamp / turn signal assemblies to the forks.
b. Route the wires, secure with wire ties, plug the connectors in.
c. Install the passing lamp sealed beams.
d. The sealed beams should come with pigtails, no splicing should be necessary.

10. Test the passing lamps.

a. Test everything before re-installing the fairing.
b. You do not need to reinstall the headlight to test.
c. Test the passing lamp switch, passing lamps, turn signal

 

It was harder to put the new passing lamps together that it was to install them. Really easy if you have a service manual, and removing the switch cap is not as hard as it sounds. Also you do not need new Turn signals, you can use the one that are already on your Street glide. How do I know this you ask??? because I just installed them on my 07 last week

 

On projects like this, ask the parts guy at the dealership to print out the installation instructions for the kit you are considering, then review them to see if it is something you want to tackle or it it requires any special tools.

As suggested earlier, buy the HD Service Manual for your bike--the HD installation instructions for many of the popular accessories donot tell you how to do certain things and, instead, refers to the Service Manual section; e.g., how to remove the outer fairing.

 

Howwere you able to reuse them? I've seen several people say that Harley uses 5/16-24 threads on the original turn signals but they use 5/16-18 threads on the passiing lamp kit for some reason (I'm sure to enticeus to buy more turn signals). Hate to waste the $65 or so when I have a perfectly good set of brand new bullet turn signals that came off my 07 FLHX to use.

 

I'm installing passing light on my 06RK and I orderd new crome round hex head bolts 5/16 24. I should have them today. I said BS to new turn lamps at 65.00

 

I have not taken the turn signals off yet but they sure look like all one piece on the StreetGlide.
