Default License plate relocate but need to connect LED plate light

I recently did the license plate relocate on my 2012 FLHTK because I hated the way the license plate stuck up when my tour pack was off. Not a difficult job. I'm finding I like having the tour pack off more than on.

Now I am wondering what others have done to connect the LED light for the plate. I know I will have to splice the plate light into the fender tip light connector. I don't want to lose the tip light. The more lighting the better. I don't do much riding at night, in fact next to none, so I will be able to get away without the plate being lit but there is that off chance I will need to ride at night.

Just wondering if there is a pre-made Y adapter that is plug and play or do I have to come up with my own solution. Also I have to get a tail light without the clear window on top but that's another part I knew I would need once this conversion is all said and done.

I did search for the past 2 hours but found no answer to my question.

When I did my Radiantz LED plate frame, I spliced the hot lead on the plate light to the blue wire.

I used LED plate bolts and did a simple splice was about a 20 minute job. Simple low cost.

I have the Road King light bar with the LED plate light now. I went to the dealer and bought some connectors for a couple bucks. I'm going to splice into the fender tip light to get power.

Hey UltraZac! Another fellow Canadian here. I'm looking at doing a similar mod on my Ultra. Picked up a used Street Glide turn signal bar (with plate light) & curved plate bracket here on the forum. Don't want to loose the fender tip light either. Can you tell me what connectors you picked up and how you spliced in?

Thx!

Thanks Mike! Did you just use a wire-tap connector?
