I think that if you want a safe and reliable feed for your extra lights you need to add a powered trailer lighting module and keep the additional light off any of the CanBus circuits and limit your chances of blowing something in the BCM. I'm running a trailer module from Electrical connections and haven't had any issues with anything on the bike. You can tape off the unneeded wires and just use the ground and brake feed if that is all you want.

I had not thought of that! But that would definitely work!

I added led lighting to the rear of my 2015 tri glide be tying into the tail lights. I did this about 600 miles ago and have had zero problems. I just went out and pulled the tour pak liner back and unplugged the light. Looking into the plug with the plug lock on the right side. The top two are the turn signals the lower left is the running light the lower right is the BRAKE ONLY. So splice into that wire to add a brake only light. Best to solder wiring Attachment 34844

But it looks like HD does give access to the brake signal on it's own dedicated wire...after looking at my TP lights yesterday, it seemed that they had to have done this, and here it is.

jc 1300, I must of had a brain fart earlier and didn't think of this. Much better location to tie into. Between your seat and tour pack there is wiring attached to brackets. Pull off your seat and locate the wiring coming out of tour pack trace it to the correct plug unplug it see attached photo for the position of the BRAKE ONLY pin (needle stuck in pin) I would tie into it at this location.

So ya think I'm a bit behind on my reply? Good Lord....TRIGLIDE! Everything you proposed worked out perfect. An easy splice and routed the wires thru the trunk. So as planned, the light is just a brake light and you can barely see it when not in use. Just a little something more going on back there when I'm stopping - Thanks again Triglide - jc

I'm putting a set of Hyperlites on my TG and I called them about a brake only wire, they told me the light blue with red stripe was the brake wire and black of course ground.

Welcome Dan, I have a 2013 and I spliced into the harness that feeds the tail lights on the TRI. The 2010 was a HD send to Lehman Trike for conversion then back to HD for sale. I am not sure where the harness on the 2010 runs but it has got to be there somewhere and that's where to splice in for your light bar. You may have to purchase some type of converter if your light bar does not have turn signals built in, to tell the light bar to light for Brake and not turn. Custom Dynamics sells those type of things. Good Luck
