I just cut the wiring off the stock turn signal bulbs and rear light and sodered them to the turn signal wires and then just plugged them back in.

I used the same stock connectors that you had to un-do in order to take the fendor off, but then cutt the wires from the fendor at the base of the fender to give me plenty of slack. Used the connectors from the supplied kit and then wrapped them up in electrical tape. One thing I did in order to make sure everything worked correctly, I hooked up one light at a time then tested it. Once it passed, I then completey wrapped it up. This ensures that all wires are secure and you have the left hooked up to the left etc.....

Yeah...I had the same problem..the instructions were not the greatest. You definitely need to cut wires from the stock fender and connect them to the kit. The only thing that drove me nuts was how to use the friggin pink connectors ??? I stripped the wires and twisted the copper together with my fingers...and then wrapped in electrical tape. Yeah I thought it was going to be a 45 minute job...but took me 3 hours ....

hmm... that's weird because the CW kit I got for my 600RR was plug-n-play - no cutting/splicing necessary. That's odd CW would not do the same with their 1000RR kits

yeah definately not plug and play. u would figure for the amount of money that the kit cost they would be able to put the stock plugs on the wires.

No kidding! CW kits aren't exactly the cheapest on the market
Off note here but I hear the bike scene in Clearwater is pretty nice. I'm in Lakeland right now on vacation.

I finally installed it and it looks great. The only problem is that the next morning i guess the right taillight blew and it caused a short and blew a fuse while i was doin 90 over a bridge so all my gauges turned off at the same time. Now i cant find the damn right size bulb to fix the problem. Im freakin pissed. There is no way it should have blown already!

Beware the license plate light. I had mine for a month when the license plate light died. I called Comp Werkes and they sent me a new one, no questions asked. But now I have to take it all apart and re-splice the stock connector.

I got the same kit and had the same problem. My right rear bulb blew out. I looked all over for a match. I ended up getting a bulb a bit smaller to get me through. I ordered replacement bulbs from "Lockhart Phillips." Just go to thier website and order the replacement bulbs for the "flush mount V(5)" series. Hope that helps you out if you havent fixed it already

Dizzie.
Please be more specific. Acutally. All of you should be more specific. Competition werkes sell quite a few different models and most are pretty easy. Plug and play as said above.
I have this kit here. You dont have to cut anything. Everything is fit for OEM wiring and placement. Even has a hole you stick the OEM license plate light into and your good to go.
Post what model of CWFE you are getting and maybe more people would have better / quicker soultions.
Just my 2 cents.
Cheers.

I have a 06 LTD. Very nice...
For those who splice n cut check this out...
http://www.targa-acc.com/main_powersearch_nf.html I did not use these b-cuz I found them after I installed…
I had a huge problem wit the turn signal bulbs overheating n melting. I then went wit a clear alternatives integrated brake/signal but that didn’t work b-cuz of the 3 wire front turners and my hot bodies signals. I couldn’t get the running lights n the signals working up front n still have brake lights n signal in back. I ended up using the stock brake light and tear drop LEDs for signals in back. Everything works…
