I have a flag that uses a 1156 light bulb.Has anyone installed one?Not sure if the tail light wiring will work because the tail/brake lights are LED's.Can I splice into the head light harness from the switch? :huh: Any other idea's?????please help.

As long as the wire gauge will support running the additional current required by the 1156 bulb, you can use the tail light wiring -- it's still 12v. The magic for the LEDs lives in the taillight itself.

You can verify if you like by checking the voltage at the tail light plug with the quad running.

The wires to the tail/brake are very small,not sure if they can handle the draw of the 1156 bulb

In your tail wiring loom along the frame rail by the air box remove the blake tape in the fat arae of the loom you will find A spare plug there to connect you antenna light to and yes it will support the 1156 bulb.
