I know there is alot of post on this subject, I've read them all...
As the title says I'm looking for some good info on wiring these to the Acc. switch.
Seems to be alot of different opinions /suggestions on how this should be done. If anyone could clarify on how to do this properly I would greatly appreciate it.
I did get the parts to make up the Deutch connector (assuming the stealer gave me the right parts) but I'm not adamant about using the plug. I don't mind tapping in to something if thats a better/easier option. Will I need special tools to assemble the connector if I do use it? I have basic low voltage tools and am pretty mechanically inclined.

Thanks in advance for all your help on this and other projects...

I am not sure of the differences between your bike and 2010 RK but this is how I did my 2010 RK. I don't think there is much difference.

* You will need to purchase an accessory plug from HD and two pins. You can get these for around $8.00
* You will also need about 3’ of 16 guage two wire ribbon or two 3’ pieces of 16 ga wire.
* Remove your seat by removing the screw that holds the grab strap on the left side of your bike. (You will probably have to open the lid on your left saddle bag to access the screw.) Remove back rest if you have one. Remove the screw on the back of your seat and pull the seat back and up to remove.
* Remove the covers on your front gas tank mounts. These, slip off
* Under the left front side of your gas tank is an electrical connector. Locate it and unplug it.
* Unhook your fuel line. This works like a quick connect on an air line. Pull the sleeve down and pull down on the lower black part of the line from the connector.
* At the back of the tank, locate your tank vent line. There is a rubber boot on it. Pull your vent line from the rubber boot.
* Lay a soft thick towel on your back fender and saddle bag tops
* Remove allen screw on front of center speedometer strip on front of fuel tank
* Remove bolt from back of center strip located between two back tank mounting bolts
* Gently pick up center speedometer strip and unplug connector to fuel sending unit.
* Leave main wiring harness attached and set center strip assembly out of the way on the towel
* Remove both front tank mounting bolts
* Remove both back tank mounting bolts
* Remove tank and set out of the way
* You will see a long black plastic wire way on the back bone of the frame. Pop the top off it and set aside
* At the front of wire way, you will see black rubber wire cover tucked into the wire way. Pull it up and remove electrical tape from it
* Turn your handlebars to extreme right and locate the front of the wire cover at the front of the frame behind your headlight shroud.
* Locate your accessory switch plug under the seat.
* Locate the black and orange wire in the accessory plug and take the plug you purchased and locate the same two pin locations in it.
* Strip your wire back about �” and insert it into the pin and crimp. I crimped and soldered mine. Do the same with the other wire and insert both into the back of the plug corresponding with the black and orange wires in the receptacle plug under the seat.
* Lay the wires in the backbone of your bike and thread through the rubber tube at the front of your frame. Use Scotch 33 electrical tape or equivalent to retape the end of the rubber tube.
* Splice the two hot (Pos)wires into your fog lamps to the wire you attached to the orange wire side of the plug
* Splice the two ground (Neg) wires of your fog lights to the wire you attached to the black wire side of the plug.
* Plug your new lights into the accessory receptacle under the seat and test your new lights.
* Replace your tank and seat in reverse of these directions and you are good to go.

 

I've done it the same way on the last 4 Ultras, pulled the ignition switch and the fairing cap and ran a jumper from the passing lamp switch )yellow) to the accessory hot wire (orange w/red tracer). I cut the yellow low-beam power wire and attached M/F connectors to make it easy if I ever wanted to go back to stock for some strange reason.

Attached is a gif of the wiring that someoneoranother posted.
