2013 scooter. i got some denali LED marker lights which can run on 50% power or 100% power.

I plugged them into the aux light connector under the right fairing and they powered on even though the bike was off.... after doing some research I see that one of the wires in that connector is always on... [thumbs down] So I am gonna cut that wire and let the ignition controlled wire and ground wire from that connection run my lights. I would like to have them blink with the indicators though.... tapping into the turn signals to use the 100% power capability and have them run on 50% all other times, but I don't wanna mess anything up. do you think tapping into a turn signal will send an error code? they're LEDs so the draw is low.

From what i could decipher from the wiring diagram, I think i need to find the 12 wire connector and get the dark green and chocolate wires for the turn signals. yeah?

so instead of tapping into the turn signals at the main wire connector area under the right fairing, because i couldnt find them in that nest of wires, I found the wires just below the right turn signal and will be tapping into them there. I will update if any error codes or change in functionality happen as a result. i'm currently waiting on wiring dodads to arrive.

update: even though I connected the wires correctly the turn signal functionality wouldn’t work on these lights. I wired them to the fork protector piece of the front fender. and they’re on at 100% full time. they’re bright little lights.
