Installation Requirements
Separate purchase of LED Controller Kit (part number 68000218 ), if not already installed.
WARNINGRider and passenger safety depend upon the correct installation of this kit. If the procedure is not within your capabilities or you do not have the correct tools, have a Harley-Davidson dealer perform the installation. Improper installation of this kit could result in death or serious injury. (00308b)
Spectra Glo light pods are designed and intended for display use only. Some local regulations prohibit using colored or indirect lighting during vehicle operation on public streets. Check local regulations before installation.
Electrical Overload
NOTICE
It is possible to overload the vehicle's charging system by adding too many electrical accessories. If the combined electrical accessories operating at any one time consume more electrical current than the vehicle's charging system can produce, the electrical consumption can discharge the battery and cause damage to the vehicle's electrical system. (00211d)
WARNINGWhen installing any electrical accessory, be certain not to exceed the maximum amperage rating of the fuse or circuit breaker protecting the affected circuit being modified. Exceeding the maximum amperage can lead to electrical failures, which could result in death or serious injury. (00310a)
Kit Contents
See Figure 2 and Refer to Table 1.
INSTALLATION
NOTE
Clean the areas where the light pods will be mounted with soap and water before beginning the installation, and allow to dry thoroughly. Remove debris, dirt and grime from the vehicle areas to be highlighted.
Ambient temperature should be at least 10 °C (50.0 °F) for proper adhesion of the light pods and controller box to vehicle surfaces.
Do not mount light pods closer than 63.5 mm (2½ in) from exhaust pipes or mufflers, and must have 38.1 mm (1½ in) clearance from engine cylinders and heads.
Do not install light pods with the light source facing directly away from the vehicle. Install light pods in a way that allows the light to be seen indirectly by reflecting from chrome or painted surfaces of the vehicle.
Do not make excessive or 90° right angel bends. This could damage the light pod.
The Spectra Glo RGB kits can be connected together in a variety of ways. Some examples are daisy chain, Tee, and Y. An open end of a harness or light POD should always have a end cap installed.
Spectra Glo light pods can be installed in a variety of locations. They can be installed on a flat surface or curved surface. These pod lights provide indirect lighting illuminating mechanical features, vehicle finish or for ground effects. See the Spectra Glo Load Calculation Information section for more.
Motorcycles with a main fuse
See service manual. Remove main fuse.
Motorcycles without a main fuse
WARNINGDisconnect negative (-) battery cable first. If positive (+) cable should contact ground with negative (-) cable connected, the resulting sparks can cause a battery explosion, which could result in death or serious injury. (00049a)
See service manual. Follow the instructions to disconnect the battery cables, negative (-) cable first.
NOTE
For 2004 and later XL (Sportster®) models, the negative battery cable is most easily disconnected at the engine crankcase.

SPECTRA GLO LOAD CALCULATION INFORMATION
The Spectra Glo system is limited to 3000 mA. Use the following table to determine the total current draw of the desired configuration. Calculate the total current dray by multiplying the number of kit(s) (each line) by the provided current draw. Sum all totals. The value should be less than or equal to 3000 mA. The following example describes how to calculate total system load.
