Saddle bag lights

Being new to the Gold Wing experience, I apologize for any dumb questions, but here goes. Are the lights on the saddle bag used for signal lights or running lights? And how do I wire them up?

There is no dumb question. I feel if ya gottas know you gotta ask.

I wired mine up for both. I put a 1157 bulb in and ran the wires up the tire side of the saddle bags and tied into the connection under the seat. Do not make it a permanent connection as in the future you will want to remove the saddle bags to work on the tire etc...

Good evening rider billy. No question is a dumb question if you do not know. I noticed from your pictures that the bags have build in lights. These are both running and turn. There should be a quick connect set up under the seat in which you can plug in and go. PIA when you need remove the bags. But you do not have to loosen the bags to unbolt the seat bolts. Each bag has a notch in it, under the rubber seal, that will allow you to remove the seat bolts.

Wow, Thanx Wingman. That notch trick is a huge time saver. I am headed to Point Marion, PA. for the weekend but will be home Monday night and will try to get those lights wired up on Tuesday. Thanx again for that tip.
