2018 Honda Goldwing - Can we add saddle bag dome lights?

Looking into the Saddlebags, there is what appears to be a spot that Honda intended to mount some lights inside the saddle bags. I’ve been unable to locate any kit from Honda to add this. So Im working on a way to do it myself.
If anyone viewing has information about a Honda accessory for this, please let me know.

Another guy on KZbin did the same thing and recommended few cheap parts from Amazon. I did the same thing on my Tour model and its very helpful. In the rear case, I got the OEM LED kit with the harness. Get ready, it is a little job to do this. Watch when dropping the right side inner housing inside the side case.

Thanks, this video is a great help. I just downloaded the service manual.

From where can you download it?

Great video! I’m in the process of installing these but in the process the hot wire bumped the frame and now that wire isn’t showing 12v. Any ideas as to what might have blown? All fuses are good.

Subscribed! I have the same model and any ideas that make sense for practicality are of interest to me. I don't generally ride at night, but just in the garage with lights on still causes dark shadows when you are trying to find something. I'll be watching for updates.

I'm thinking about, not to buy the original Trunk lights but some LED Stripes and put them in the Trunk and the saddlebags. So tust World bei 4 stripes. Do you think, that would make a problem with the canbus? They don't take a lot off power and make a very bright light; and by the way, the led stripes are much cheaper.......

The Honda tour trunk has the same square cut out to install the Honda trunk light. So buy two trunk lights and they will fit perfectly. I did it to my 18 wing

If you watch the second video, I already installed some really nice LEDs that look and function great. I don’t know what the OEM tour trunk light kit costs, but my solution is probably way more affordable and looks fantastic.

Monarch did you buy 2 wiring sub harnesses for your lights or splice out of one?

[@Donnythelatemodeltech]

The guy that just commented is a scammer don't reply back to stuff like that. (Ximertracks) Cool dude, nice video.

[@mineaim7066]

Thanks for the heads up, sir!

[@da_ozman9599]

I installed the Honda trunk like and it appears to be the same as the cut out in the saddle bags, I did verify and with the trunk open and light off, I opened the saddle bag and the trunk light turns on.

[@jurgenniklaus4046]

Wich two wires did you take?

[@michaellloyd5680]

Nice video, but will the Honda puddle lights fit?

[@mineaim7066]

Michael Lloyd that is a possibility. My Honda dealer doesn’t have any in stock for me to measure, but I may order a set to try. I wouldn’t mind getting a set anyway.

@@mineaim7066 mine turned up today and the lens measures 40 x 30mm fitted with a two pin plug brown and green wires.

Great question: If you have the wiring diagram, is it possible to “tap in to” the main harness under the seat without having to remove the entire front cowell, which is very labor intensive (several hours)? The puddle/entry light could be installed elsewhere in a nearby location for a quicker install. I believe those LED lights are weather/waterproof as well so it would be pretty seamless. Nice touch to walk up to your bike and the lights kick on! If you could make another video on the subject that would be awesome. Thanks!
