Default Do your rear lights all light??

I noticed that my front blinker lights light up along with the headlamp as marker lights but the rear turn signal lights only light up to blink for a turn.Is this normal??

Funny you brought this up.....when I relocated my rear turn signals, I had to do some wire extending. So not knowing theyweren't supposed to stay lit with the tail light,I almost drove my self nuts trying to figure out what I had done wrong when I rewired them!

I have this kit and it makes a big difference IMO. That and the blinking brake lights make me feel a whole lot safer than one tail/brake light.

I also installed this kit and it Does make a world of difference.

I'm also looking into the license plate light bar that pulses.Anything to make me more visible topeople in SUVs on cell phones.

Normal operation. As stated above, you can get a module from HD that makes the rear turn signals into run/stop/turn lights. Excelent upgrade. Does make the rear more visable. As for being more visable to a SUV on a cell phone, Nothing will help that. Ever seen an 18 wheeler rear ended by an suv? I have, they were on the cell phone too.

Totally Agree! The first thing bought for my wife's Sporty. I have them on the King as well. I think everybody should have them.
