Default Saddlebag Lid Spoiler - Run Brake Turn?

The catalog says run brake and I'm wondering if they can be set up as turn signals also?

Default saddlebag lid spoiler

I have a brand new set of these I bought for my 2009 ultra .I sold the bike before I put them on.They are brand new in the box .I opened the box to see the kit. They are red hot sunglo in color. Cost $200.00 new sell for $140.00 + shipping. I am not sure if they can be used as turn signals but I imagine they could be wired to work as signals. Thanks Greg

It can be done, contact Chromeglow, I know he has added a module to make them work for run/brake/turn.

If you would have read the title before the stupid comment you would know.

But here you go.

If you install the HD run/brake/turn signal module that adds the run and brake funtions to your rear turn signals, you can wire the saddlebag spoiler LED's to the module to provide run/brake/turn signal to the spoiler LED's.

Instead of wiring the spoiler LED's to the accessory connector under the seat per the instructions, you wire a ground wire from each spoiler LED a ground wire at the module, and one of the other two wires from each spoiler LED to the corresponding brown or green wire (for right and left turn signal functions). If you use my username and saddlebag spoiler LED in the advanced search function, you'll find more detailed information.

I wired mine as described and they worked for 3+ years. Ultimately, I concluded the spoiler LED's were a poor light and not a cosmetic improvement, and sold the saddlebags to replace them with bags w/o the spoilers, and use a BrightAss Light tail light--BAL-1R--a much better rear lighting solution IMO.

Good luck with your project.

I wanted to use them as turn signals and get rid of my pancakes and bar. It's kinda disappointing they are not a good light source. I asked the question and did a search and saw your write up. Thanks for the response.

Glad to help. Personally, if I had a '09 or newer bike I'd spend the $$$ and add the fascia and lights HD uses on the CVO SG; expensive, but very cool and functional. Otherwise, you're basically looking at a RK or SG bullet turn signal bar, or installing some aftermarket lights in the saddlebags and I've never seen any that were cosmetically acceptable IMO.

Hope you find a solution and keep us posted.

Carl

I like the CVO rear end but that is some serious cash to do the fender and bags like that, if you stick with Harley parts. I will wait and see what I find. Winter is here and I get bored and that comes with expensive ideas.
