BAJA Designs Lights for HARLEY with Factory Wiring

[@_goseeit]

Solid install with those brackets and where you mounted them. Makes way more sense to run them this way instead of off the crashbar.

[@3_AM]

I'm happy how they came out. No issues to date. Thanks for watching.

[@tx_reds2426]

Dude you just save me some money and confusion because I went to the dealer ( respectable dealer) and they was even confused on just a simple plug and play so they finally put together a kit but it was almost $200 and then I went home and looked at it and the instructions were of no help, and still didn't discuss what to do after I put in the switch in bank 1 . I saw this video and returned my parts and ordered your list and now have a video to go off of. Thank you so so much!

Glad to hear we were able to help!

[@3_AM]

@@tx_reds2426 I did not , sometimes canbus systems are too smart for their own good . It might be sensitive to the interruption in signal and go always after a few starts .

Just wanted to say thank you for providing those part numbers. Very helpful tip.

Glad to help

[@ncautolink]

That’s awesome! I’ve been wanting to do something similar. I’ve bought some lights a year ago, just never got to install them. Thanks for info about the harness and mounts. I’ve been trying to figure out the best way to connect them.

[@3_AM]

No problem I’m very happy with the setup . Only con is that with the oem wiring if you hit the high beams the auxiliary lights shut off. However you can have the dealer fix that with a flash.

[@bigman7447]

@@3_AM What is the wiring pin out? I'm looking at doing the same with Diode dynamic lights! Thanks!

[@3_AM]

@@bigman7447 it was a simple two wire setup. I used the entire Harley harness only changing the end to the Baja Designs male plugs.

Excellent! I did fork-mounted BUT I really like where you mounted those.

Thanks man that’s a clean install! Going to price out that harness now!

[@3_AM]

Awesome , I’ve been very happy with it !

[@harleyroadster9502]

@@3_AM hi, I did more research after the video. The switch you used seems to be discontinued and it’s not for my 2019 SG. There is a new one but my question is, can you not add the switch? Would the fog lights just be on with the turn signals at all times?

[@3_AM]

I'm not sure as the switch completes the circuit for everything. I would consult with the dealer for the proper switch and harness. I will say there's a benefit to having them on a switch as they are bright. Sometimes in a group it helps to not blind your buddies !

[@ericroadking7564]

I like them!! Nice job!!

[@3_AM]

Thanks

[@johnmacias01]

Great set up on the Baja lights. I have the lights & now you just helped me figure out the hardest part, the electrical. I’m wondering if I can use these in place of front blinkers. They’ll run constant & signal when needed, im hoping…

[@3_AM]

Full grip moto makes a kit to do just that. I didn’t want to spend $400 and wasn’t sure if they’d be too bright being on all the time. www.fullgripmoto.com/product-page/road-glide-turn-signals

[@johnmacias01]

I read thru Full Grip Motos comments. They have a lot upset customers! I’ll wait till someone has a successful story on blinkers! Lol

[@kleverloja2916]

Hi, i have a street glide special 2021and thank you for showing this video i really like how they look. I already bought the complete set, you showed in the video and my questions is if the the wire harness fog lamp works on my bike.

[@3_AM]

Yes, the wiring harness should be the same across touring models. Thanks for watching.

[@Roman-Legion]

I'll be surprised if you answer this question on this old of a video but here goes: The Harley Davidson dash panel switch that goes in the bike console. Did you already have a cable to plug into the six pin switch?

[@3_AM]

Hello, thanks for watching. My bike did already have the plug to accept the switch. However, I'm not positive if that is across all models or something they do on the ultras and limited.

[@JVH1997]

So if I wanted power all the time, can I just buy the wiring harness with the splitter and wire it into the s1?

[@3_AM]

I believe that should work.

[@2147crew]

Looks amazing man!

[@3_AM]

Thanks

[@Peter-mcmcmc]

Outstanding video; thank you for making it! I just bought a '23 RKS and my LP6 is otw next week. I want to mount a pair of the S1 like you did and have two questions, please: 1). Do you think they'll mount to my stock chopped engine guards? and 2). Do you recommend I buy the same H-D wiring and push button set up as you? Thank you again. Been subscribed to your channel for a few months now, In fact it was the two of you who swayed my on buying a Le Pera! I ended up with a Maverick, but they weren't on my radar until I watched your Tailwhip video and then the comparison video between the Tailwhip and Outcast with backrest. Love your channel! ✌🤘

[@3_AM]

Thanks for watching and subscribing. Congrats on the new King. The mounts I bought should work anywhere on the guard as it should all be 1.25" diameter. But there are also nicer clamp mounts out there. I think your setup will have to vary a little bit, as the button pack to fit your headlight nacelle is different. I'd talk with the dealer and see if there's a HD wiring harness to add fog lights specifically to a Road King . From there just splice the male Baja plugs on the very end, to match the S1 female ends.

[@Peter-mcmcmc]

@@3_AM Awesome; thanks a million! That's great guidance and I'll go that route. God knows I only wanna do this once and have it come out right haha. Have a great weekend! ✌🤘

[@chrislamarr]

I know I’m late, and I apologize if I’ve missed it, but what year is your Roadglide. Harley says those switch and wiring harness parts #’s don’t fit my bike - 2022 Roadglide limited

[@3_AM]

Mine is a 2020 Limited.

[@chrislamarr]

They should work then

[@sdallen5985]

Question in 4:32 so did you end up buying the correct cable/plug because female to female ends don't fit? or did you have to mod the cable even more? other then that ty for the video.

[@3_AM]

I left the female ends on the end of the Baja lights. Then I cut the Harley male plugs off the very end of the harness and replaced them with the provided Baja male plugs. Both were a simple two wire plug

[@EC-gm4tt]

Thank you for the info...Did you install one single led fog lamp wire harness and jumper the wires to the other S1 or did you get two led fog lamp wire harnesses?

[@3_AM]

The Harley harness has a “Y” split and is designed to run down to either side of the crash bars. I only cut the very end to swap on the male Baja plugs .

[@davehunt8952]

awesome video.. clean setup..do you have a pic of how you wired the ends together. thanks.

[@3_AM]

Unfortunately no, I wish I had since so many have been interested. But it was a simple as matching hot and cold on each side .

[@M_J_Glide_22]

Which ones did you go with spot wide or working

[@3_AM]

@@M_J_Glide_22 wide / flood , they don’t project much further than the headlight , but wider covering the edge of the road and about double the output of light

[@383cheep]

Nice review, just ordered same set up. Question with the does the switch also now control the running light portion of your turn signal? thanks

[@3_AM]

Thanks for watching. No the switch is only on/off for the auxiliary lights.

[@hoss5f55]

This video is awesome, just tried replacing my headlight with one of those cyclops looking things, was brighter but with no adjustment it was useless. I’m going to do this instead. Any guidance on the wiring of the Baja connectors to the Harley harness?

[@3_AM]

They’re both two wire positive and negative . I believe I mentioned the colors in other comments. As for cutting the Harley harness I did so at the very end and just changed the male plug . Thanks for watching!

[@lexxonadventures8755]

The Baja S1 amp draw is 2.8 for a set. Have you noticed anything different with the electrical since your pulling power from the turn signals?

[@3_AM]

No, I haven't noticed anything or had any issue. I remember I had the same concern when looking at doing these. However, Harley uses the same method of pulling from the signals for the daymaker fogs and passing lights, which I believe (don't quote me) draw more amps.

[@ltx383]

If they only made something like this for the Victory’s

[@3_AM]

It could be done , just depends on your wiring skills. The universal mounts would work for the 1.25 crash bars. I know people on the forums have found nice rocker switches that fit the victory dash, otherwise you’d have to decide where to pull power from. You could easily come right off the battery if it’s a XC.

[@hoss5f55]

Any issues yet with the power coming from the directional harness? Just got all my parts in and going to do the install next week.

[@3_AM]

No issues to speak of.

[@mrjkjhoedog]

I might have missed it in the video but did you get another wire to connect the Harley switch to the other wire you connected to the turn signals? Or does that wire connect to the Baja lights as well as the Harley switch you installed on the dash?

[@mrjkjhoedog]

I think it’s the part where you said you had to custom wire the lights but I wanted to make sure. Thanks in advance. Just ordered the lights but went with clear instead of amber.

[@3_AM]

The Harley fog light harness noted in the description should give you everything you need. Otherwise, all I did was splice on the Baja Designs male plug ends at the end of the harness where they then plug into the lights. Good Luck.

[@mrjkjhoedog]

Thank you for the response. I haven’t received the lights yet but I’m guessing when I do there will be a plug I can use to connect to the back of Harley dash switch since the Harley harness you recommended doesn’t have a direct fit to the back of the accessory button.

[@mrjkjhoedog]

@@3_AM everything is done and works perfectly. Thanks for posting this video because it helped me a lot with the install. Any issues since you’ve installed them?

[@3_AM]

@@mrjkjhoedog no issues to speak of.

[@sdallen5985]

I’d check with Cali Raised MOTO , they told me your set up with eventually screw up your canbus sys, draws to much amps needs to be ran straight from the battery.. good luck tho..

[@3_AM]

Thank you, I'll look into that or otherwise plan to re route power from the battery.

[@hoodrat2hunt]

So essentially the lights with the harness from harley that ties into a signal post without purchasing the dash switch would allow the lights to neatly be tied in and they would be on anytime the main switch to bike or accessory position is on? While using the male plugs from the bd harness for lights of course. Thats the way I plan to go if it would work as I'm thinking.

[@3_AM]

I would assume that's correct as they'd have constant power from the signals. It is nice to have them switched though, as they're bright at times following behind a group.

[@hoodrat2hunt]

@3_AM I'm going to try it. Dealership claims to have a switch in stock. Hard to find that p/n switch anymore. They changed to the kits. Good video thanks. It seems to have solved a lot of people's concerns and questions. Thanks for getting back to me too.

[@3_AM]

@@hoodrat2hunt no problem. Good luck

Did you have any issues with the running lights output overload? I got the full grip setup and currently having that issue. They come with load levelers. Any help is much appreciated!

[@3_AM]

I haven’t had any issues been running them for a few months . I’ve run them with the heated grips and two heated jackets.

I think the road king has a different button placement to fit the headlight nacelle, but you could likely use the same technique.

They should be able to be adjusted , there’s a adjuster at the bottom of the housing. However additional lights are a huge plus. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rH-bgK2Xr8ibpas

It can be done not positive how it works with that exact wiring. I do know if I’m riding in the group behind my buddies I usually shut them off. There are companies that make a bracket and kit to run them full time and as a turn signal.

[@lexxonadventures8755]

Possible you can send me the wiring diagram on how you wired the connections. From the Baja wires to the Harley ones.

[@3_AM]

Well there’s no diagram on mixing the two brands. Essentially what we did was follow all the Harley routing for the wires. At the very end of the wiring you’d run to either crash bar or where you mount the lights there’s a 2 wire small Harley plug that would mate with their lights. We simply cut just that end off , and pinned on the 2 wire male Baja plug that’s matched the lights female plug.

[@lexxonadventures8755]

The Harley wire has 4 wires after cutting off the connector. I'm assuming to mate the Baja black to black Harley wire and white to the purple? Thanks
