LED turn signals

I’d like to have dual function, safety first, maybe @DEcosse will see this and know if dual function would work or not, if not the Harley led I posted in picture where I said this is what I installed do work well. (With resistors)

Question: where did you put the resistors? Trying to picture it...

It's normal to remove a few panels or parts to modify your bike, but isn't this extreme to fix the turn signals

Engine is in Seattle, all bearings/ all cables/ electrical upgrade Fuzeblocks brand/ rebuild calipers/ handlebars swap/ forks rebuilt with emulators/ just going through a couple things to make safe as I can trying to get to an airstrip to run this spring. Haven’t even scratched surface of rules for that/ kill switch/ fuel off valve/ safety ties a lot/ steering dampner/ it’s winter down south here in Nashville so it’s a good time to tinker.

Tinker! I would say a heck of a lot more than a few changes. Who's putting the wings on "it". Kevin you have a serious project going on. Impressive.

It looks like you have purchased the 1156 (per your link) Kevin - 1156 are single function so only work as Turn Signal lamps.
To get the running lights option you would need 1157 version PLUS new Housings with dual connection capability (3 wire)
(RRI also have a housing available - two options with slightly different mounting - plus also a clear or smoked lens (so the LEDs are not behind the supplied yellow lens).
Then for the 3-wire connection with dual Running/Turn capability, you would simply connect the Turn Signal Wire and Ground to the std turn signal wires and then the Running Light wire would be tied to the Park Light circuit (yellow wire on bike harness)
