• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

LED Turn signal Installation - need some guidance?

I'm trying to install Spyderpops RT Full View Turn Signals on my 2014 RT and need help with the wiring. The kit claims Plug & Play. When I took the mirrors off, there is only a solid line of wires between the inside of the mirror and deep into the bike. There is no evident connector on either end. I don't want to damage the mirror housing by taking it apart with no instructions, and I'd like to avoid unnecessarily taking more of the bike apart. Have any of you had this issue? Thanks

I have a 14 RT...... I made my own LED turn sig. Mod. .... I hard wired mine into the OEM wires ..... there are two parts to removing the mirrors ... #1.-physically removing the mirror from the body .... #2.- pulling out the OEM wire harness which is either stuffed into mirror itself or stuffed into the body panel. .....gently pull either side until you get to the connector, and separate it ..... the Spyderpops connector is used between the OEM ends. ... I'm surprised you didn't get directions, Harvey sells good stuff .... good luck .... Mike :thumbup:
 
Just like what fatboy, samewok & BK said...The plug is right there...just like when you ALWAYS need to remove the mirrors to do anything on our RT's...Just inside the hole...Follow the harness to the male/female plug...Push clip and unplug...larryd
 
I had Lamonts version (the Longhorn, which is probably an identical product) on my '18 RT. As others have said, gently pull on the wiring as the OEM connector is either pushed inside the mirror or the body. Be careful as the clip may snag on the bodywork opening. The big connectors go inbetween the OEM connectors and the smaller (2? 3? pin) connector goes to the LED strip. Once I had everything hooked up, I ran a zip tie around the outermost connector, inbetween the wires and under the release tab that would keep everything together if the release tab caught on the bodywork. If the connection catches and disconnects, you can remove one panel and retrieve it. Annoying but not the end of the world.
 
Thanks for the reply. I'll pull a little harder, but pretty sure it's hanging up on something. I bought the kit through Lamonster, but the directions are really lacking. No description on finding the connector. That's why I figgered I needed to open the mirror housing. I'll give it another try.
 
I found the connector not in the mirror, but in the body. I just pulled and manipulated it until it came out. Fortunately, I broke nothing. Thanks for all the advice.
