Fender tip light kit . . . any hints on installation?
I just ordered the NMN tips kit and the mud flap lights. The video about the mud flap lights posted here is great. Wondering how difficult it is to install the fender tip lights, especially the part where the single wire attaches to the turn signal wire. Any hints, and is a tester necessary?

Thanks, fastfraser, just bought the ebay lights. Is the turn signal wire easy to find? About the only thing I've done is change oil, and remove most of the panels just to look inside.

The turn signal wires are super easy to find behind the instrument cluster. My only problem was the connections in the guts of the machine. My hands/arms were a little too big to get into the tight area, so I had my nephew do that part. I guess I could have removed the trunk to get easier access, but what are nephews for if you can't make them do stuff for you?!

I found everything to be easier than i thought until i tried to find the existing turn signal wiring in the depths of the bike and hidden under the A arms.Once that was efforted then we had a relativly simple install until when i got to the mud flap lights and found the right tire nuts literally frozen onto the studs.
Where is Chad Knaus when u really need him !!

The nuts on my front rims where way over tightened but used a regular socket wrench with a 3 foot long hollow pipe over the handle for leaverage and off they came. All in all a simple install.
Not that much off a challenge. Go ahead and try, very rewarding working on your .

The kit from NMN hasn't arrived yet, but I've got the Spyder stripped and ready. Looks as if the connector for the TIPS is right in the middle of the bike and I can barely reach it with my short arms! But I'll give it my best shot!

Jack it up and pull the wheel if you are having a hard time reaching it.
We now just do this as it is much easier and takes no more time to remove the wheel than fighting with it left on.

A big THANKS! Makes it much easier. I also removed the plastic piece that covers the bottom control arm (only 4 bolts) and that makes it easier as well. I can reach both connectors from the left side.
