Indicator running lights

Hiya Folks

I have got a 2007 883c and like the way the american models have the indicator/ running lights. Does the international model have the same wiring loom as the american model. I was wondering if any one has fitted any and if so how easy is it and have any one had any problems at MOT time.

Thanks

im sure the 08 models come with em already fitted...quite a few at cafe have em....should be relativly easy to fit and wire up

Lots of aftermarket indicator kits have three wires for that purpose. Its quite simple but the running light connections need adding in.

Models in Australia have this system on the 2008 and 2009 Nightster they are prefixed 5HD1 which i understand is an international serial number. Hope this helps

I think you may find they're just a teensy bit illiegal in this country - i'd replace 'em before MoT time

I doubt it. Amber running lights are ok. Plus pipes are a much bigger issue.

im not so sure, the last time i looked at the dot book (quite some time ago) it said that the forward facing lights have to be white so i would assume white is acceptable for daytime 'running lights'.

forward running lights can be white or amber.....not blue!!!

Thank you for the advice

If they're the Yank style combined indicators and running lights (i.e. on all the time, flash for indicators), then as far as I know, they are illegal.

That said, if you can get 'em through an MoT then bugger it, eh?
