This video helped me figure out how to reconnect the LEDs that were on the bike that I purchased from a Harley dealership. Because they had disconnected them. And I'm very new to motorcycles anyway. Thanks for the great video. It also help me put LEDs on my wife's bike better than the previous owners put them on mine.

Thanks Steve, great video. I watched your video 3 months ago and installed this same set of lights on my 2020 Road Glide Limited and they look great, took me 2 days working off & on to get everything cleaned up good and wires routed correctly to get the job done right however now I have found that the lights just Magically come on all by them self at night while the bike is just sitting in the garage, it has done this 4 times now. I have a message into the seller about this problem will see where that goes. I love the lights they look great on the bike going down the road at night and I get a lot of people that come over to see the bike when I park it in town at night with the lights on. Your video was a big help to me getting the lights installed correctly. Thanks again for a well done video.

Could be a bad module...however i had that happen one time and it was because over night the wire had fell on to my exhaust under the saddlebag and just siting there after a ride it melted through the wire cover and grounded the lights. If yours is only doing it at night and just randomly I would say the module is bad. Also try taking the remotes inside with you one night where they cannot connect tot he bike and see if it does then. The remote could be sending wanky signals to the bike? Just some thoughts. I hope you get it lined out man.

@@sikbaggers Thanks Steve I appreciate your input. I have taken the remote inside but only did that one night and it was ok the next morning, but then it only does it once in a while. I have the bike loaded up right now in our 5th wheel toy hauler for our trip to AZ for the winter, think I will remove the remote from the bike for the trip down there and see if they ever come on over the 2000 mile trip.

I only wish I had moved right side under tank led strip a bit further toward the outside. I ordered a different brand with the exact same features as yours and have the exact same results $60 is what it cost. Took me about 2 and 1/2 hours start to finish, all in all I'm overly satisfied with the results thanks so much for the video it helped a lot, it provided the confidence to go thru, keep them coming.

I bought two kits and installed one kit on each side then hooked the brake function to the wire feeding the left and right turn/brake wires and now the left half flashes with the left signal and right stays solid red and vice versa 😝 note: as far as I know this only works with bikes that have the brake/turn signals not sure how it would work if you do it with a brake light and separate turn signals...

My buddy just had Scottsdale Harily Davison install his LED Accent Lights. Front fender lights fell off within the first week, and the underframe strip (Left side) also fell off. They charged him almost $800, and want to charge for Labor to fix the strips that fell OFF.

you can definitely do the exact same on the front of that bike from the fender back to the engine...Ive added the long strips that I usually use under the saddlebags and add them to the inside of the fender wells. Just make sure you clean the heck out of the fender wells with soap/water and then use alcohol on a rag and wipe it down really good. I use zip tie mounts like this amzn.to/3Ewonza to make sure the wire stays up against the fender wells all the way out to the lights.

point the wires towards the brake caliper when installing the lights. Pull the wire out from under your fender right above the brake caliper and zip tie it to the caliper cable. run the wires up the caliper cables putting a zip tie around every 3 inches. Run that up under your fairing and over to the neck, then run those wires under the tank in the wire harness back to the module. Make sure to leave that slack under your fairing for turning your handlebars otherwise you will snap that wire when you turn.

Yes, just using what was supplied in the kit but if you dont want to actually cut the ire and soldier it I use Posi taps - amzn.to/3WjyNIQ T taps - amzn.to/3XL7Kr2 if you dont care to cut the wire then I suggest solder/waterproof heat shrink and I use these. I use these on all audio connectors under the fairing amzn.to/3QRZ67E you can buy these in smaller amounts...i just get the big one because I use them a lot. Slide it on, and heat it. the solder melts and the blue edges melt and create a seal all in one step. Thank you for the sub! Much appreciated!

the turn signal feature is meant more for cars with a wider body...so you can distinguish left from right...the bike is thin that from a distance it appears the whole bike is flashing...thats very confusing for the people trying to see what you are going to do. The brake function is fine as it turns everything red

the power box for the lights is under the side cover. run the right side wire down, under the side cover, and go straight to the frame. roll it under the frame and zip tie it off right up to the frame. The left side, I run the wire from behind the side cover , behind the battery and then down the same route as the right side. Make sure you dont cover your battery or battery tray...makes it a huge pain to remove it later when you need to swap it out.

Also just pull the fuse..once you do that there is no way to get shocked or even blow the little fuses. The only rish you have is the battery itself ...just dont ground out the wrench when tighten the positive side...that will cause an arch...but thats about it,,its pretty straight forward.

Buy any kind of on/off switch and run your power wire from the box up to your dash , under the tank, connect it to the switch on one side, come out of the other side and go back to your battery, The problem with this is all that does is cut the power to the box.

a few of the places are optional...we generally install the 12 strip kits. You can buy splitters and add more strips but you have to buy the whole kit get more strips. I have had guys have me buy 2 kits and y splitters...and add more to one kit...that way they dont have two boxes and two remotes. And you always have a back up box in case something goes on the one.

Suggestion. When you pull the overflow from the gas tank on the right side you'd said.... remember where it goes. Why not tie a long piece of string to it when you pull it up and leave the string in place while you remove the tank. Later use the string to pull the over flow back through the EXACT same route it was before.

@@michaelhamilton9184 the issue you will have running it on a ACC switch is all you are doing is stopping power going to the box itself rather than always having power hooking it to the battery. Either way will work but you will still need to turn on the lights with the remote. Just adding power to the box doesn't turn on the lights.

Installed the LED Underglow light kit on my 2015 Street Glide Special. There seems to be a constant draw on the battery from this kit. Is there a way to hook the postive wire to something on the bike so it only has juice when the bike is running versus constant power from the battery?
@sikbaggers
@sikbaggers Жыл бұрын
yes, of course...get a cheap test light and find a wire under your seat that is key on only...make sure it is not the brake or turn signal wire as those fluctuate in draw if you hit the brake or blinker...just a simple key on source is what you need. You could also put in a monetary switch somewhere.

@sikbaggers
@sikbaggers 3 жыл бұрын
The kit that was used on this bike was from ebay and I haven't got a link to them but he had to order extra extensions..this kit on amazon is the one we use..it has everything you need to do the front wheel along with everything else. smile.amazon.com/dp/B07FBQYW3N/ They are nice for the price...however Ciros are brighter and you have much more control over them, but they are pricey plus the ciro and CD's are pretty much custom cut to go to certain places on the bike so there isn't a ton of extra wire left over you have to hide behind the side cover.
