i used this led strip--http://*******.com/287uea



and ran the wires under the fender up to the taillight. [following the stock wire routing].
the strip has wires for ground/running/brake.
the taillight on my eg had an open spot in the plug thatlit the brake light.
plugged it in and works like a charm...

I installed the complete set of integrated Panaceaâ„¢ Taillight & turnsignals from KURYAKYN on my RKC. I have received many complements on the look and how bright they are. It took me less than an hour to install.

good idea
You could easily make it one or the other.
I would think you need a run/turn module from HD or Kurykyn to start with as they give the turn/running light capability you are after. Then you would have to experiment a little to get your fender light into the same circuit. The run/turn lightsmay bedual filament though (probably not) and the fender light is not.
I bet it can be done with some time to study.

If you mean the fender tip light, I turned mine into a brake light instead of a running light, but not both a running light and a break light. It was simple and free by just changing where a wire gets plugged into.
