Hi guys, my friend has a 2008 1800 with led side lights on saddlebags. The right bag four lights don't work. My question: are all four hooked like in series, so if one is out they all are? So the entire led strip must be replaced? Or is it just that the wires to that side probably broken, not grounded etc.?
Thanks,
Bruce

Have you checked for voltage where the light plugs in?

Re: inop led saddlebag lights
Not sure if they are different but do you know which brand lights they are?

Get out your digital volt meter and start checking voltages. There are so many aftermarket LED kits it's hard to say how they are wired.

Get out your digital or analog volt meter and start checking voltages. There are so many aftermarket LED kits it's hard to say how they are wired.
