I haven't found any smaller red marker, turn lights that will fit the side bags.
Wondering if it's legal.:icon_rolleyes:
Any thoughts?
Thanks

It is legal. We don't have any direct replacements available. For some reason nobody seems to be making a direct replacement specifically for that. Probably something similar available. I do have the Show Chrome Side Bag Chrome Covers on mine in Smoke Chrome that have the Red LED's in them though. The red LED's do look good on the side.http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a182/rmwiles/Motorcycle%20Pictures/Honda%20F6B/F6BSide0514_zps5828dd9e.jpg

Agreed, Amber to the front and Red to the rear. Never put blue or green lights on your bike. Had a coworker got his 1500 Goldwing impounded over night because he had blue accent lights on his blue motorcycle, riding it down the road with the lamps on, in Virginia.

Thanks for all the input. Although let me clear up my questions. Because I can't find any rear side maker lights that also include a turn signal, turn signal being the interest, I am wondering if it's legal or not? And that's why I can't find any. I understand I can use a brake/marker/ turn and only use marker/turn but I can't find any small enough to install on side bags. Steve, I did purchase the lights you posted which are awesome marker lights. I also purchased the Kuryakyn front amber marker/turn lights. Thanks for any leads.

Thanks…you should be able to tap into your tun signals and make the marker lights also blink???

Making the side marker lights blink is old school.

GM did it back in the 70's. All it takes is attaching the ground lead to the turn signal "hot" wire.

This turns the ground off when flashing and makes the marker blink alternately with the turn signal.

Thanks. I'll try that. Easy enough to back probe wires at mirror light. I'll let you know if it works.

Not a GM , doesn't use ground for turn signal operation...

Here you go.
I pulled this down from a site called D-Series.org
Use an LED marker light so the additional load won't alter your blink-rate.
