Has anyone installed the smoked LED turn signals from Amazon on a 2015, and if so how did you wire them? Attached is a pic of the wiring on the light.
Thank you

HEY you asked this on the "other" forum...

It might be worth asking the NON-F6B people since your Amazon lights are "supposedly" for both bikes.

There is something different on the F6B than the standard GL. I think, when I added the Pathfinder fog lights down at the bottom of the cowl I needed a wiring adapter for the F6B.

There is a connector change at some year. (2006? 2012?). Adapter harnesses are available. Either the kit I ordered from SoCal or the one from Muth (maybe both) included the adapters.

Yes, when I did my Pathfinder fogs I had to call the company to tell me the proper color code on my bike to splice the wires from the fogs to the turn signal wires. PITA.

Do those have any instructions that list the wire color and function? If so, the wiring for the bike is easy. Green is ground, solid color is turn signal filament, solid/white is the running/position light wire. Left side color is orange, right side color is light blue.

Yeah, that’s the problem I have to figure out. No instructions which is typical of Chinese products. I have white, red and black coming from the new lights and no idea what goes where. I can figure out the bikes wiring color code cause I already installed Pathfinder fog lamps and had to tap into the turn signals on both sides, but I still have to cipher the new lights colors.

Ok, my guess would be black is ground and the other two are power for each function. Take a couple of jumper wires from your battery and test each to see. If they are incandescent, nothing will get damaged. If they are LEDs they will do nothing if connected wrong.

Or, he could buy lights from a place like SoCal, which come with plug and play adapters. SoCal isn't the greatest, IMO, but it's easier than buying crap off Amazon, with zero customer support.

Just trying to save some money.
But thank you for the useful response, it was right on point.
Next time I have a question I need assistance with, I’ll blow off the folks who replied and tried to help and go straight to you!

On some generic Run/Brake taillights that I recently installed on something else, they also had the three wires colored as Black, Red, and White.
Fortunately, they were marked as to functionality. Black was Ground, White was Run, and Red was Brake.
I'd recommend you temporarily connect your lights to a 9V battery, to test them prior to installation.

Fricken honda put different plugs on the turn signals of the f6b. They fliped the goldwing turn signal upside down. And used a different connector. I bought the so cal smoked , made by admore if I remember. The bulbs were socals led. So the amazon has the goldwing connector? Is that the issue?

Im thinking Electrical connection can sell you a set of the oem hitachi connector for a f6b turn signal. Then buy the pins from them and crimp them on using the hitachi crimper they sell, insert into the male connector , and plug it in. The only expensive part is the crimping tool. Your welcome to borrow mine.

Remember the f6b is different than the goldwing. Thanks honda.

Much appreciated it Chris. But I’m just going to splice the stock wires and plugs on the new lights.

Not sure, since I don’t know what the Goldwing connectors looks like, but it is definitely different than the one on my bike.

I finished installing the smoke LED turn signals I bought on Amazon. I like the way they look and work. I spliced the bike's harness to the new light's harness after figuring out the wire color code. Thanks again to those of you that offered helpful suggestions.

Here it is for those it may help.
