Jerry W Posted September 28, 2007 Share #1 Posted September 28, 2007 I bought a set of Harley license lights to put on my 2006 RSV. The wiring diagram that obber sent me shows the wires on the Harley part being red or blue. The light I purchased has only one color wire on it and I am a little confused on how to wire it up to my RSV. Any of you have any suggestions? Thanks.

Freebird Posted September 28, 2007 Share #2 Posted September 28, 2007 Mine had a red and a blue wire also. One was for running lights and the other for brake lights. I wonder if the one that you got is different and is for running lights only? Check the lamp sockets to see if they are dual or single element.

Jerry W Posted September 28, 2007 Author Share #3 Posted September 28, 2007 Each socket has two wires running from it, so I am thinking they are for both brakes and running. I will check the bulbs also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry W Posted September 28, 2007 Author Share #4 Posted September 28, 2007 Yep, they are dual filiment bulbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry W Posted September 28, 2007 Author Share #6 Posted September 28, 2007 My problem is all the wires on the Harley light kit are black, not red and blue as in the directions. I think I can figure out which element is brake and which is running, then determine which wire sends current to which filiment and work from there. Thanks for all your help.

All harley wires are now black, this is to combat the oil slick left by blown head gaskets. :rotf::rotf: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yamadawg Posted September 25, 2009 Share #9 Posted September 25, 2009 Has anyone added visors to the brake / running lights on the Harley license plate lights? If so, where can I get those? Preferably NOT H-D identified, Star if possible, but plain would be OK. I would like to put those on to match the others on the bike... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOO Posted September 26, 2009 Share #11 Posted September 26, 2009 Has anyone added visors to the brake / running lights on the Harley license plate lights? If so, where can I get those? Preferably NOT H-D identified, Star if possible, but plain would be OK. I would like to put those on to match the others on the bike... I don't think anything from Yamaha fits the HD lights. I bought visors from HD store but they have no identifying marking on them, just plain chrome. Be careful they have some visors that fit lights with the screws on the top and bottom, while the other ones attach with screws on the left and right sides.

Jerry W Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share #12 Posted September 26, 2009 Don, This is actually an old post from the maintenance day that kinda' fell apart last spring when the weather didn't cooperate. However, if you guys want to try it again, I will put one together. Probably need to try to get it going pretty soon before it starts getting cold. I could do one in October. have i missed something here, this is the first i've heard of a tech day in north west texas? come on forret you holding out on the south texas bunch? don c.

Yes it was, cranial rectitus is alive and well. Anyway, if there is any interest, I will put one together at my place in October or November, depending on the weather and when folks can make it.

You might look on ebay for the eyebrows for the Harley lights also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
