Rear brake light question 09 road glide
#11
I think I found the harness that you were refering too. Does it have the radio attenna cable running in it? The Light that I got from the dealer has a much bigger connector with about 10 pins in it and has no wires coming out of it or in the box. This light says that its an upgrade for the 2010 flhx & fltrx and thats what the parts guy said I needed. The connector I found on my bike has three wires going to it and looks like it will fit the light for the 2008 & older model. The 2008 light I saw has a wire harness included with what looks like a same three wire connection.
The Street Glide rear fascia light (for 09 and earlier anyway) has the same plug that your tour pak wiring harness has. On the Street Glide the fascia light plugs in there. On EG Classics and Ultras the tour pak lights plug in.

Thats the input for the harness on the side of the light. It has about 10 pins inside the light... Nobody at HD can give me a straight answer. They cant even tell me where the harness would connect to once I get it. I would love for a 2009 street glide owner tell me what they have on their bike or even a pic.

That's exactly the connector you need; now you need the '09 LED.
The reason for the ten pin connector is (probably) due to the fact that the '10 model no longer has a tail light. Behind the tail light on the earlier models was a circuit board for the tail light/brake light/turn signals. Without the circuit board on the tail light-less '10, the connectors for those functions changed.
For your future reference, I found it's best to have the parts counter guy pull the parts book for my model and year, then find what I need and show me what he's found. Actually, I've been to the parts counter so many times in the past 4+ years on various projects, I just ask for the parts book and look the stuff up myself.
Better still, spend $40 or so and buy the 2009 Touring Models parts catalog, and the HD Touring Service Manual for your bike.
Good luck with your project.

Those F@kers. I knew thew sold me the wrong part. This light I purchased didn't come with any type of wire harness. I went to another dealer and the parts guy pulled the other light and it had a 3 pin connection with a long wire harness. I got screwed. Thanks for all the help guys. I will update in the morning with the other light.
