Product Usage Instructions
ATTENTION: Please read all information below before installation.
- Secure the motorcycle on a level surface and remove the seat. Disconnect the negative battery cable from the battery.
- Locate and unplug the lighting connector to the rear fender.
- Plug the provided BCM Y Harness Adapter in-line into the rear lighting harness and into the bike’s main wiring harness.
- Open the saddlebag lid and remove any personal items from the saddlebag.
- With the saddlebag open, disconnect the check strap from the lid of the saddlebag. Save the hardware for reassembly. The saddlebag lid will need to remain fully open to the outside of the saddlebag. Take protective measures so the saddlebag and/or lid are not damaged during the rest of the installation.

- Route wire from Saddlebag LED Latch LightzTM over the foam pad and around to the front of the saddlebag towards the locking latch. Secure the wire to the inside of the saddlebag using the provided tie wrap holders and tie wraps as shown in Photo 2. Clean the mounting location of the tie wrap holder with denatured alcohol before pressing into place.
- Remove saddlebags from the motorcycle. Transfer the saddlebags to a protected work area to prevent scratches.
- Using a grease pencil, mark desired drill point for the Saddlebag Latch LightzTM wire to exit the saddlebag. It is recommended the drill hole is located approximately 1 below the saddlebag latch as shown in Photo 3. Apply masking tape to the outside of the saddlebag at the marked drill point.
- Using a 9/16 drill bit, drill a hole through the marked drill hole on each saddlebag. Drill from the outside of the saddlebag to the inside then remove masking tape. It is recommended to start with a smaller drill bit and work up to a 2 9/16 drill bit.
