Be sure to check out my new updated full install video now available here - • ⚡UPDATED How To Insta...
I will show you how easy it is to install your own LED accent light kit on your Harley Davidson motorcycle. This kit costs me less than 50 dollars from Amazon. They are waterproof and have plenty of wire to do the entire bike without splicing and adding extensions. This kit flashes to your music, strobes, breathes and changes colors. You can select the color you want using the remote. This install took me about 3 hours even with taking the tank off to run wires for my front wheel. If you have any questions please let me know. Be safe and keep your knees in the breeze! ALWAYS TEST YOUR KIT BEFORE INSTALL.
If the link below does not include the kit with extensions and multiple sizes then it is not correct. The seller seems to be changing the listing when they run out of this kit. The link below is "where" I got mine but the link under is the same kit from another seller.

5 years later …. Video is still helpful… I crossed your channel about a year ago and I’m thankful because I learn a lot from you. Thank you
Thats awesome but I do have a newer video on this where I actually install it all...please check it out czcams.com/video/s7DyqAbo8D4/video.html
Thanks. The reviews are especially helpful where as you started this video with how long it lasted.
Bro! I was just a click away from buying a whole amazon cart full of stuff to build my own kit and ran across this video. You just saved me so much time and energy
Yes sir this has been a great kit! Still installed on my bike and working as it should. Super bright and turns a lot of heads.
Had the opportunity to speak to Steve the other day on the phone. Terrific guy. Steve thank you. I'll be ordering my Olive gold bags for my Street Glide.
Hey Casey!! Great to see you hear and was good talking to you. If you need anything give me a buzz man. Thanks for coming the channel, much appreciated! Stay safe!
Thanks for including the sisters out here 😀
3 months ago, I bought me my first Harley 2020 Street glide Vivid Black and chrome, thanks to your channel , Ive been able to learn more about how to make the bike more beautiful and add many accessories to it to make it look mine, and of course "SIK" . Ive learned a lot from you , thank you. Love this video, learned a lot from it too. When I want to add stuff to the bike I look on youtube for the guy with the beard and "SIK" Gray Street Glide! lol, Thanks brother for taking the time out to share your knowledge. Liked and subscribed , cant wait to see more videos.
Hey Gino...its my pleasure sir and I appreciate the kind words. Glad that the videos are helping! I have an updated video on these lights too just about a month ago I shot it. czcams.com/video/s7DyqAbo8D4/video.html And if you ever have any questions please let me know..Ill try to help!
Bought this kit because of your video... literally just got it in about twenty minutes ago. Watching your video again so it’s fresh in my mind!!! Thank you!!!
Awesome man..its a great kit. Glad the video helped you!
SIK Baggers one question... putting a light strip on the bar under the saddle bags puts you in close proximity to the exhaust pipe, almost directly over it... has the heat caused you any problems? Also... on the blue wire... am I looking for a hot wire on the brakes to tie into? Thanks for any info you can give me.
@@robertlee2005 No issues at all...Ive been running this same set for 3 years now? I think...its been awhile...no issues with it at all. Also yes if you plan on hooking up the ALL RED ON BRAKE function you will want to hot wire on the brake side.
SIK Baggers I cant thank you enough for the info AND the quick response!!! They oughta give you a percentage of the profits!!!! Ride safe!!!!
SIK Baggers got them installed, minus the two 8” in the front... didn’t want to pull the fuel tank because the Quik connect was stuck... didn’t want to risk messing up o-rings
... they look awesome... I have a 2007 Electra glide classic I bought used... it has the factory radio and speakers... I’d like to add some bigger speakers... any brand you’d recommend?
I appreciate your time and knowledge on the lights I’ve had mine about six months or so I was supposed to take it to the shop and spend a lot of money for nothing thank you for the free class know I’m going to cross that off my to do list 😂
Sorry for the late reply, just got back from Sturgis...so glad the video helped Frank and saved you some money!
I subscribed straight away because your one of the first Harley mechanics to answer questions straight away. Your work is greatly appreciated and very much informative. Cheers from Australia
Thank you very much! I appreciate you! And glad the videos help!
Helpful tip. Install a toggle switch with a fuse. These lights come on by themselves at any given time and will drain the battery.
Yes this is true. Not sure the kit I ordered but mine included a push button on/off switch. When the switch is off neither remote will turn the lights on. Seen guys bypass this switch or not use one and it will drain the battery.
Most kits come with one
I just wanted to know what colors are for the turn indicators and the brake light...
Edit: On my 2018 XL1200CX it's yellow for the blinkers and purple for the brake light and if you use the purple for the break and for some reason all of your lights are yellow, move it over one spot and I also did not splice into any wires, I put it directly in after stripping 2" and clamped it inside of the connectors and have had zero problems.
I love the kit but after installed it only stays on green. My remote will turn the lights off using “B” but then I have to remove seat and all to take power from battery. Then back on do they will come back on. Remote isn’t linked or something. Very annoying please help
I added this kit to my Street Glide looks great and it was pretty simple to do, your vid was a big help. Thanks!
Thank you for the advice I appreciate it., I have a 1994 Heritage and I purchased one of these kits that you just showed me my question is this I'd like to get my front wheel lit nicely I seen some people put it on the backside of the caliper and some put it in the fender I would prefer I think the fender I like the way yours looks better the only problem is I only have one brake caliper how do I get it to the other side
I had rather see you actually installing the kit than just talking and pointing.
I got pulled over 2 times in Illinois, and once in Maryland for running my lights.
I dont know about Maryland but in Illinois is legal to run them with some restrictions..you can read the Illinois Full Text of HB3944 Book mark it www.ilga.gov/legislation/fulltext.asp?DocName=09900HB3944&GA=99&SessionId=88&DocTypeId=HB&LegID=&DocNum=3944&GAID=13&Session=
Just bought my first bike. Ordering the kit now, I’ll post how easy it was / wasn’t once done. Seams simple.
Nice!! Its not too bad really..it looks like a mess until you get everything zip tied off...it has a lot of wire and I didnt want to cut any because of the quick connects..so I just ran everything back to under the side cover until I was done and then grabbed up the extra and used a few zip ties.
Thank you!! I bought the kit before I even finished the video.
Thats awesome..its a great budget kit...still have mine on the RG and its still working great
@@sikbaggers That's good to hear brother. I'm glad I found your channel.
I just got a bike today, and subbed today, and I'm on the edge of buying this kit, I think I'm going to now..
Steven, I liked your video, However, as of 8/3/15 it is legal to have accent lights on motorcycles under bill HB3944. It is found under 625 ILCS 5/12-209.5, just FYI. Thanks for the great video.
Mark....that is excellent information and thank you for sharing. I will post this to the description. Good to bookmark and keep on your phone in case you are pulled over. Thank you again!
Yes just can't have emergency colors ie blue and red.
Thanks Steven you said it all pale,i'm ordering one set right now,lookk i had ordered a set of 12 flexible led lights last november 2017 and get them installed last week after the winter. No lucks,the controle box never works.i don't really care about the money though.i just want something that's working.
I hope that there is instructions book in your set though because the sunpie one there was none.
I don’t want to use the break wire, but I don’t want to leave it hanging. Do I wraps the end in electrical tape? What should I do with the blue wire if I don’t want to use it.
Just ordered these. Can't wait to put em on. Thanks again for a great video 👍🏼
I bought a 2021 Road King Special a month and just purchased led lights for it but I’m sketchy on placing them I want to do them correctly.
watch my newest video here...I actually walk you through the entire process.czcams.com/video/s7DyqAbo8D4/video.html
Thank you for all the good videos. I love all the ones I have watched and I get notified when the new ones go up. I ordered this kit and will be installing it soon. THank you for your time and effort to help us shade tree guys.
How do I know wich wire is brake wire
As much as I would love to get one of these light kits, I believe I would let someone else put it on for me. Lol!!
Please check out my newest video on that...its an actual walk through on the install czcams.com/video/s7DyqAbo8D4/video.html
I got one on order. I was wondering what kit to buy . Now I know.
Thanks
You are welcome Jimmy...Its a much nicer kit than my last one. Cant beat it for the price. Thanks for checking it out!
Cool. Quick tip, (if your still making videos), something slightly decorative, vs the particle board background, and maybe if you like posters, maybe a step back to see if its slightly level. ;)
Lol yeah man this video is old..check-out my new stuff
Awsome video, thank you for explaining it to us. Not sure if I can do it myself however I do plan to purchase a kit. I also like the poster in the back with the blue bagger, If you don't mind me asking where you got it at?, thank you.
I take it this works on all makes and models as I have a vn900
Sure it does...it hooks to the battery so its not vehicle specific...put the LEDs wherever you want. There is plenty of wire included. Here ios my updated video that shows how to hook up the brake wire from a few weeks ago. czcams.com/video/s7DyqAbo8D4/video.html Of course your brake wire will not be the same as a harley but find your brake wire and test the same way I did on the HD
@@sikbaggers cheers chap 👍
Great video. Can you put a strip in the vent on the fairing
THANK YOU FOR THIS! I have been skittish about doing this to my 2015 SG. I do have a question: Which wire do I connect to with the brake wire? I have been unable to locate exactly which wire, and on which harness, to connect to! I believe it is a red wire, but I can't figure out which harness set to tap into. is it the black or grey one under the left-side panel, or the one behind the right side panel?
You are a great instructor. Your instructions are perfect. Thank you!
Thank you...much appreciated!
I have this set for my FLHR.
Wat size fuse junction did u say i have 2015 street glide
Hey great video! I also live in IL would you be able to help me install lights? It would be a great ride down by you.
Hit me up over on our facebook page!
I just requested to join
Steve is the man and just a great dude! If you are not sharing his videos, do so and SUBSCRIBE.. Brother, keep them coming! Cheers!
Thank you James! Much appreciated brother!
I wished the instructions would tell you which piece, or light strip is the one that is sensing the vibrations. That way folks could run it/that one, to their speaker, or at least next to it..
I think its in the control box....and man it is super sensitive...i had the volume on 2 bumps up and it was almost keeping the lights solid. If you started the bike they would just stay lit up. I wished it wasnt as sensitive...just me talking was setting it off.
With the new kit where/how do you install to the front fender? Bracket kit or just inside the fender to the side wall? Link please
watch my newest video on this..its a complete install
You do good work my man. Keep up the good work. I understand ballin on a budget
Did you use shuddering flux or crimp? BTW, clean classy look.
I crimped them all....and its a long drawn out process either way you go.
Hello, I like the video you have put out. I found you by accident and stayed. I ride an ultra limited so a lot of what you say I can use.
I have a ? I would like to place speakers on my lids say 2 6X9 on each side with an amp. I know nothing of what to choose or how to properly choose a system.
can you help ?
thank you.
Than you its much appreciated man. Check out this video on "how to" install your speaker lids and amp here that I made czcams.com/video/kqdMrz4WQnc/video.html Please email me at slhousden@gmail.com and I can get you on the right track on selecting a setup. It is really based on your budget. Add "Stereo Help" to the title...that will catch my eye. Thanks man.
Now do a video for front & rear HD cameras please!
Could you do a video I have a 94 Heritage Softail tail or at least give me some guidance I bought the lights but I don't know the best place is to locate them I'd appreciate any help you can give me
I have a 2003 Heritage Softail I got some lights for they're basically like those getting ready to put them on today how many lights do you put under your front fender on your bike on each side is it one strip or two
Just placed my order🥲
Thanks
Thank you for checking it out Brandon...I have a newer version on my channel about 3 weeks ago with greater detail on the install.
Ive gone through 2 different controllers and had three different light strips go bad on the kit I bought from this company. The company isnt very good with their customer service and are super slow to respond when theres an issue. Any rain at all makes the controllers go bad almost instantly. Ive got an extra kit on hand so im going to replace the main controller yet again...any hints on what i can do to make it last? Ive got it mounted under side panel by the abs module.love your channel and all the tips and advice you give, keep up the work man!
i'm having the same problem an now they stuck on with
When you put these in the rear fender and front fender do they not get super dirty or tore up from the road particles and such ?
no...the cover that is on these lights is super thick and protect the lights. If you are riding through mud then id say everything is going to be dirty but not general everyday riding..youre good.
Great job my brother, your vids are SIK!!
thank you sir!
Great video and spots to place the LED's. How and what wire does the Blue wire connect to the brake wire?
depending on the year, under your seat is the tail light section molex wire harness...its black...usually the blue wire in that is the brake wire. tap into that and see if it changes the system red as you brake.
Love all the content and knowledge on this channel but one question I have is that I just got a 14 street glide in the same color but cant figure out what color it is to try and get paint matched parts do you know the color name of this bike by chance
Thanks Ricky! This bike is charcoal pearl. On a side note if you ever want to know the true color of your bike or any bike, call HD, any HD and talk to someone in parts and give them your VIN...they can look up the color of the bike as it was originally sold. Note that I said original color ...HD has a really bad habit of re tinning bikes for customers just to make a sale and they dont keep the proper documentation usually. If a customer comes in and says I want that but in that color over there...they can swap the parts and sell the bike. So be careful with that route if you bought the bike used.
@@sikbaggers thanks I appreciate the info this bike is definitely been worked as it has a 120r engine and baker grudge box trans but I think the paint is original
When you put the strips in the fenders are they the part of the fender the is parallel to the fork?
Got lights hooked up but having trouble with hooking up blue wire for all red when brakes are applied. Anyone have easy simple way to get all lights going red when stopping. 2019 Road Glide
@Anthony Williams. I have a 2006 Road Glide. I was just checking out that kit on Amazon. It shows that the wires are 13 inches long. Is that really long enough wire to go from under the bags to the connecting box and all the way from the front fender to the connecting box?
I've installed 5 of these kits so far, if you still need help, let me know and I can help you troubleshoot any problems you're having!
Matthew Norman I have a 2007 Electra glide. Just got lights in today... I want to hook the blue wire into the brake lights... am I looking for a hot wire to the brakes to tie into? I was hoping there would be a plug under the seat I could tap into...
Gave you a sub man, you have an awesome channel.
Hey, partner… I need some help. I found my 2017 street glide special laying on its side in the garage this morning… I moved it yesterday and obviously didn’t put the kickstand down properly. I’ve cold checked my oil and transmission levels and they look ok. But when I turn ignition switch to start position, my alarm lights flash and computer screen never flashes the Harley symbol like it usually does. Is there some kind of tip over sensor that needs to be reset? I bought this bike used from dealer, and have no owners manual. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Do you have a key fob for security on your bike?
@@sikbaggers do you by any chance have an email address so I can email you my phone number privately and perhaps talk to you for a couple minutes… I promise I won’t take up much of your time. If not, that’s fine. It’s just that the Harley place where I live is closed until tomorrow and this is eating me alive, lol.
Just found this. Great video! Where did you run the wire for the strip behind the air cleaner? I didn’t see it..
Please watch my new updated video on this here czcams.com/video/s7DyqAbo8D4/video.html I removed my tank and ran it up the middle and down to the horn and down to the air cleaners...same way but on each side.
can you run these light's while you're riding bro?? i'm not sure if that's legel in PA but i would love to add them to my 21 street glide..may i have you're honest opinion should i go with these or the ones from Ciro3D?? you are my FAV channel on youtube.. for us baggers you cover just about everything
Great questions Jay..A quick google search rendered this for PA (because I'm in Illinois and I wasn't sure) Are LED lights on motorcycle legal in PA?
§ 4310. Motorcycle lighting. Auxiliary lighting may be added to a motorcycle to protect the driver, including blue dot illumination, standard bulb running lights and light-emitting diode (LED) pods and strips.Jul 30, 2009 Like in Illinois it is not legal for motorcycles to run accent lights on the bikes while driving...however you cannot have red and blue,and/or flashing strobing lights wheel driving. Which makes sense. But you can run the lights while driving. So you're good there. On which ones to get..its really depends on your budget..you can get these for around 50/60 bucks and they last as long as you can protect the module like under the side cover from getting soaked...water is ok but getting soaked repeatedly will probably mess them up. The ciro ones are what we call a Tuxcedo Fit...as in the wires go exactly where they need to go with very little left over wire. The amazon kits however leave you a ton of wire you have to cram behind the side cover. The ciro lights have a more usable app that you can control dual zones with on your bike where the amazons generally do not..just a simple remote. Kind of depends on what you want really. Ive installed a lot of these amazon kits and rarely see them go bad. I have an updated video on this too..check it out here with links to the lights I use here if a fella wants some amazon ones. czcams.com/video/s7DyqAbo8D4/video.html
@@sikbaggers thank you very much for that info and taking the time to check you're awesome man.. and thank you for everything you do..i'm looking foward to more bagger videos..
For a 2020 street glide. Do you a led convertion box from custom dynamics or anything to not interfear with blinkers, radio signal etc? I recently purchased the same kit. I was streaming your Channel like always for install tips.
Thank you,
Where do you install the strip in regards to the front wheel ??
When you hooked the blue wire up, where exactly did you tie into the brake wire? And was it blue/red or downstream of the control module? But staring at wire diagrams so much I can’t see straight.
I did find the plug under the seat that goes to the rear brake lights, do I need to tie into the blue wire after the plug to the side that goes down inside the rear fender?.
2020 street glide
Any word on when Advanblack will be coming out with the color match stretch side covers??? Those covers really finish the look.
Lee Green hey man not yet... New ones are made and will be test fitted next week sometime. Hopefully they go on smooth and we can start production.
I just subscribed to you ,I have a 2012 street glide and never put led lights fore so I just ordered the kit and hope I can d it lol, Thxs.
Be sure to check out my newest video on these lights..its an actual install czcams.com/video/s7DyqAbo8D4/video.html
Just found your channel. Great video, worked great on my bike. Any details on how to tap into brakes?
yeah sorry i didn't cover that in the video we never use that function...but depending on your year 13 older look under the left side cover you will see your rear harness...probe with a test light until you find your brake...hard to say what color wire it is because the years change. 14 and newer its under the seat. Same plug, just probe for the brake light using a test light.
Let me know if you have trouble with them blowing the fuse a couple of times a year. I bought a different brand and it draws 2 amps according to my meter and it comes with 2 amp fuse. what amp fuse does your kit use and did you put a meter on the circuit to see how much tolerance you have with the amp draw?
I too had a different brand on here last year...one I had to splice and my own RGB wire to make extensions...a real pain..This one so far has been great. I would have to go pull it to see the fuse, cant remember and no I did not put a meter on it as it wasnt blowing anything. I assumed the draw was good for what fuse was in there. If I have any issues with this kit that will be the first place I will look though.
I just found this video! What do I search for on Amazon? Tia
Here is my updated actual install video czcams.com/video/s7DyqAbo8D4/video.html ...all of the links are in the videos description. But here is a link to the ones on amazon that are available now amzn.to/3lBlBPG

Its the Klock Werks Flare 6.5 dark...here is my video on how to measure for a klock werks that will fit you czcams.com/video/6Rr2RV9sChI/video.html
Quick question what size bars are those bud?
Hello Sr. Just came across your Chanel I have a question I am 6’3 I ride a SGS what is the best windscreen for me ? Thanks.
Yeah thats a hard question for someone to answer...you really just have to find one that fits your needs. I love the klock werks and they offer various sizes but they dont always work for everyone.
You said you tested the blue wire for the brakes, but didn't keep it. Where do you splice the blue wire into if we do want to keep it?
Splice it in your brake wire
Thank you. I ordered a set and will install them ASAP.
You're very welcome.
I am looking at the light kit you bought. It shows that the wire is only 13 inches long. That doesn’t seem like it it actually long enough.
it should have 2 32 inch extensions in the kit. If it doesnt then they changed the lit since I got it...look on amazon for a light kit that has 2 extensions for the front wheel. There are tons of them, you just have to read the descriptions.
Steven Housden Thanks
I know these can be hooked directly to the battery, but would they work if wired to an aux switch? I would like to set the color and be able to turn them off and on with the aux switch.
Absolutely ...that will work just fine..they draw very little power and there is an in line fuse so no worries.
What a beauty thanks for the info,
What color is that sgs?
Thanks! Its standard color from Harley...Charcoal Pearl.
@@sikbaggers
That color is awesome!
Did you mount the LED strips in the front fender, on the sides of the fender, or the top. If on the sides, how high up did you mount them?
i mounted them on the sides...just inside the fender about an inch in. straight across towards the front.
So whats your long term review with these lights?
Still rocking them on this bike today...no issues...but hell read any reviews on LED lights...no matter the cost its still assembled and things can go bad or you even receive them bad..this set is fairly cheap.and its amazon..so if its bad..send them back..no worries. Get another set.
I just ordered this kit and was curious if you could provide a description as to where you mounted the lights for the front and rear fender? I have an 04 Road King. Not much room in the fenders or a good surface to put them on. Thanks.
for the rear of the bike I mounted them under the saddlebags on the saddlebag rail and I did mount mine in the front fender...on the edges where there was more room. If you dont have much room in the fender I would lok up the pods...Maybe you can mount the pods on the brake calipers or forks.
Steven Housden , thanks for the tips. And thanks for the video. It’s the reason I bought these lights.
How do people keep them on while parked without battery goin dead?
they are LED bro....ive left mine on for over 8 hours and started right up. They dont draw hardly any power.
Still love the air intake.
Thanks Ron...I got the same brand and a slightly different version for the RG im doing now...that video will be up soon.
Where do you recommend putting the extra leds if you don’t have a razor pack? I have a 12 piece just looking for ideas
Hey Derek that is tough one...I went through the same thing for awhile and never thought about the tour pack and had 2 left over for a few months. They were 2 long ones too so I wasnt sure where to put them. I put them back just in case I had one fail on me. I have seen guys run them along the outside of the rear fender between the bags and the fender...my only problem with that is from the back you can clearly see the led strips. From the side it looked pretty cool.
I installed a 6 inch on the bottom of my footboards, just wrap it around the front perimeter aiming the lights towards the bike and it increases your road lighting
Think it works on a 1994 Ultra classic?
Hey Brandon be sure to check out my updated version of this video...more of an actual walk through but yes..this will work on anything with a battery and a place to stick the leds. czcams.com/video/s7DyqAbo8D4/video.html You could literally put these on a riding mower if you wanted to lol simple + & - hookup.
Hey guys great video. 👍🏻👍🏻 hey I have the same kit on my Thunderbird. Did you have any issues with your lights turning on by themselves?
if they are coming on by themselves you have a wire grounded somewhere. Happened to me...too close to pipe, melted over time and then grounded. Once any color wire grounds it will turn on...check your wires.
So I purchased this kit because of you but have a question. what color wire did you tap into for brake light option and where you tap? that's the last thing i need to hook up. Thanks in advance.
the color of wire will depend on your bikes make and model..I believe on mine it was a blue/red wire under the seat in the rear wiring harness ...best to check yours with a test light...poke the wire until you find one that only lights up when the brakes are applied.
Steven Housden yeah I actually figured it out before you replied but thank you. I love the fact that the lights will turn red even if you don't have your lights on that's badass
When I connected the brake light wire the leds come on green when the brake is pressed. Then I noticed that the green button on the 24 button remote causes the leds to turn red and the red button causes them to turn green. Any ideas?
yeah the control box is messed up...I have a light strip behind my tv that does the same thing...Id send it back and get an other one.

What all tools are needed before I start and dont have what I need?
All of your plastics pop on, no tools...if you want to remove your tank youll need to look at your tank and see if your 4 bolts are hex or alen and see what size you need. I have no clue what your bike needs.
I got the kit but it doesn't seem like I'll be able to get 2 of the strips to my front fender, it came with splitter, the 12 lights, 2 pigtails with 6 plugs per tail, and the brain basically. Any advice?
The kit I have listed in the comments has 12 strips, 4 splitters, 2 of them have 2 plugs and 2 of them have 4 plugs and 2 extensions...you need those extensions to get to the front wheel. I have seen the 35 inch splitters sold separately on amazon though...id check the one you got but it doesnt sound like the one I have here.
@@sikbaggers yeah I was looking at that after I commented, I just order 4-36" extensions, should take care of the problem. Thanks for replying brother🙏✊
Lol I had to take a double take when you said Illinois. This is my first video I’ve seen of yours and I live in ina about 30 miles north of there lol. I can’t find the orange tech lights to put on sadly.
This is the same kit, different name

here is a link to another set with the front wire extensions for the front wheel www.amazon.com/Motorcycle-Multi-Color-Atmosphere-Wireless-Controller/dp/B07FBQYW3N you up by Mt Vernon?
Great video Steven!! Very informative. You definitely make it sound easy for the install so I just ordered mine. They should be here by tomorrow (amazon Prime) Do they throw any error codes? Im installing these on a 2018 Softail Slim. Thanks again!!
Thank you Mike...no error codes because they only hook to the battery. Nothing is hooked into the canbus system on this so it will never throw a code. Ssimple power and ground and use the remote to turn off and on. Easy and bright!
do yours still work good ..... mine won't change from white an it only turns on an off with the switch ...... it started blinking red an now just stuck on white
yes sir mine are working fine...sounds like you got a bad box there. I would contact them for warranty info. Go through amazon if thats where you got them and sen the seller a note and see what they say.
Awesome video thank you i learned alot .
You're welcome Joseph...thanks for checking it out!
Was trying to connect to brakes but getting lost any help love your vids thank you
if you have a 14+ touring bike the brake wire harness is under your seat. its a quick disconnect that goes back to your rear tail lights and tri bar light. Dont confuse it for the other plug which is your fuel....there should be a blue wire in that plastic sheath...thats your hot for brakes.
@@sikbaggers no have 02 Electra glide classic
@@jkbarberjr if you find a service manual online you can find the right wire for you. For the later models they are all over the internet for free...not a owners manual but a service manual. Im sorry I dont have that one but if you google it youll find one.
Great video - Thanks for posting!
So I want these lights for my new Street Glide. How hard is it to remove the Tank to get to the wire tray?
Its pretty simple..I can shoot a video on it probably tomorrow morning if you bare with me and let me get it and edit it. Ill either post it up on here or send you a link to it.
Going to ad lights to my 2006 street glide how can I find the brake light
Unless you have a service manual you can always just probe with a test light. Thats usually the best way...follow the wire harness from your break up beside the fender under the side cover...thats the best place too probe. Much easier to get to.
What agesev double tade do u recommend for the inside of the bag for the Amp?
Cover the entire back but dont cover any vent holes with the black gorilla tape. The clear is up to 15 lbs and the black i think is up to 35 lbs...I use it on alot of stuff and it has never failed me. Its sticky!
@@sikbaggers hell yeah thanks 😊 🙏
