    Looking for the best place to pick up a switched (key) hot wire for some LED lights. Also, I may want to pick up the horn hot and high beam hot for a set of LED's that will flash to full intensity with the high beams and with the horn.

    Photo(s) would be great!

    What voltage do you need for this?

    Regular 12 volt - for a relay.

    For a relay, I plugged into the plug for the little marker light above the headlight. I was running my other wires up there anyway, so I just put an extra wire in my bundle to bring it back to my relay/fuse box I put together.

    I recall others going back towards the tail light to use the tail light wire, it's on the wiring diagram, maybe a blue grey? It's actually the same wire as I tapped into, but just a different location.

    I think the green/white in the tail light is switched.

    I'm already very jealous! Have a great weekend; it will be an early Monday morning for me.

    Yes, many.
    Are you riding the TR650 up? I am riding up Friday morning and coming home Monday morning. I'll be on the Road Glide Ultra though.
