Jesse, there is a plug where the rear harness joins the rest of the harness. In other words, you plug the front harness into the in side of the equalizer & plug the rear harness into the out side of the equalizer & then the equalizer has to be attached to the battery.

I think that's the same plug I tap into with a Y connector for my tour pak led light bar?

My plan has always been to add the dynamic ringz to my Phase 7 headlamp. Love the look and the added light. Just adding the LED headlamp has greatly reduced the amount of ppl pulling or almost pulling out in front of me. Never liked the look of non led bulbs (the turn signals) mixed with LED.

I don't have a LED headlight or passing lamps but I was really shocked at how bright that those little turn signal lights are. All of my friends say that when we ride that they can easily pick me out in the crowd so apparently they are distinct. Maybe this winter I'll do the others in LED's but that's a lot of change. Does it ever end with these things? :nixweiss:

I'm not doing it for added light.  I don't like the look of incandescent bulbs mixed with the led headlight.  I could care less about added light let the helmet and light police worry about that ;)

It's gonna be a real rats' nest on Honey Badger! I am getting CD's brake modulator, too. It will also daisy-chain into that connector in the big harness on the rear fender... after the load equalizer.

While I was ordering that stuff from CD, I also ordered a set of their little battery connection blocks that will connect up to four accessory wires with only a single wire to the battery. They are fused with a 15 amp inline fuse. I have a stack of connections to my battery already, and I don't even remember what they are all for! The equalizer will add one more. The blocks will move all of those wire connections away from the battery, except for the Battery Tender wires. That will clean things up a BIT in there.

Yep, wish I could have gotten the turns in LED too, but HD doesn't make them. That's why I just went with the chrome rings and the Grey instead of Amber.

My first & last CVO, Scarlett, arrived 6-1-12. I always remember my mom while riding.  She had smarts with a spirit of independence & adventure. "You Gotta LIVE!", was her motto; her favorite color red, and she loved BLING.

Might I suggest, buy the dynamic rings and install, then give your bike a day or so of "learning" the new turn signals.  Mine ended up not needing the device, whatever it's called, stabalizer or ??

More in a few min once I edit the photos.

Just installed the 7 inch trucklite from an eBay seller, about $160 delivered.  Got the dynamic ringz from an Amazon seller for about $75.

Streetglide headlight has a y-cable of some sort, but the H4 plug is all you need, just remove the Y or leave it in the fairing.

Install was straightforward.  No gimmicks, no "holding your mouth right" just take out the old and put in the new.

I also installed the Harley frenched or deep trim ring.  Again, no proiblems encountered.  It goes on over the stock trim ring.  Install light, tighten bracket.  Install single screw in stock trim ring loosely, remove screw in deep trim ring and slip over stock, put the crack at the bottom so you can get a small screwdriver on the stock trim ring screw, tighten, but don't Gorilla it.  Push new trim ring together at the crack and insert screw and tighten till crack is flush.

Dynamic Rings go in the stock bullet turn signal housings, just insert the 1157 plug in the hold and twist.  Then feed the wire in a coil behind and snap on the lens.

Turn on 4-ways, each turn signal several times and it will soon stop with the fast blink, at least mine did.

One of the easier mods I've done.  About an hour, but I took my outer fairing off thinking I needed to to remove the y-cable (you don't).

I wouldn't go anywhere without my Phase 7 headlamp. Interesting that you didn't need the load equalizer...

Passing lamps on the front balance the bike and they definitely have the benefit of cars pulling out in front of me less often.  I can't be all wrong, after all I did get first place and a nice trophy  :pepper:
