If you want to "turn on" the front position lamp circuit on a HDLAN bike like the 2011 and later Softy, you will need to have someone with the proper scan tool go into the BCM menu's and toggle it on in the customization and lighting section.
The brave new world (for Harley, not the rest of the world) of electronics has made this stuff a little different from the old Harley electrical systems. Unfortunately it often makes little mods tougher, since most of us don't have the proper scan tools for all our various vehicles, but in some cases it is pretty handy. For instance, I used to always buy kits to add daytime running lights to momma's new cars. They were never plug and play, but involved installing modules under the hood, running wires in the engine compartment and under the dash, splicing wires, etc. The kits usually cost over $100, and then I had to add the cost of the bandaids for my scraped knuckles and heat paks for my aching back. Now when she gets a new vehicle all I have to do is slip the kid at the dealership $50 to hook up his scan tool and turn the daytime running light feature on in the software. That's just one example of the many things that can be customized electronically if you know where to look.
