I have a question regarding wiring. I’m not sure if my current wiring setup will work or not, hence my question. I have small LED lights in my saddlebags. The lights are not bright and can’t be seen in direct sunlight so I want to swap out he LED’s for a standard 1156 bulb which is the stock light in Harley turn signals. I purchased two 1156 sockets from an auto parts store. The sockets that I purchased, as well as all the 1156 sockets I saw online, are a single wire. It would be easy to wire if the socket was a 2 wire setup (one red, one black). Since it’s a single wire I’m not sure how to connect it.

My current wiring to the LED’s is a 3 wire setup (one red, one black and one orange). Is there a way I can somehow connect the single wire 1156 socket to the existing wiring? If so, how do I do it?

Thanks for the assistance!

 

The single point on the bulb and the wire is the positive, the brass outter part of the bulb is neg or ground. Not sure on the led wiring what is what but i would assume that you should have 12v from one of those wires to ground. unless they are less than 12v and running thru some type of module.

 

what is the function of your leds lights?

is it just running lights or is run and turn signals?
