Default question on mini bullet LED's

HEy so i just installed the harley mini bullet led turn signals(which i got for 120 including mounting kit as opposed to 320 retail). anyways i noticed that there are no running lights. the front only lights up for turns. im pretty sure it was all installed correctly. are they supposed to be like that or did i mess something up?

Could be wrong but I am pretty sure mine don't have "running lights" and only come on when the turn signal is used. Never noticed to be honest...but I am pretty sure they are not on constantly.

You need to have the run/turn/brake module for the rear signals to be running lights as well.

Front signals light up for turns only.

On a stock configuration, the front signals are both run & turn signal lights (dual element bulbs). The rears are turn signals only (single element bulbs). With a "run/brake/turn" module installed (an add-on option) the rear turn signal lights become a running light, turn signal & brake signal.

so from the sound of the responses i didnt mess anything up. arent you legally supposed to have front running lights when the bike is on? if thats the case why would they make a kit that is all single filament?
