My '87 Aspencade had cornering lights that someone had rigged to act as running lights. Never used them because they would shine at 45 degree angles to the side as was previously mentioned. If the 1500s are the same it doesn't make much sense to convert them, unless you want to be on the lookout for that skunk about to saunter out and change your aroma

I took another route in changing my cornering lights to running lights.I prefer not to cut the factory harness if at all possible. It's a little more work than cutting wires, but if the next owner decides he doesn't like it, he can always put it back to factory specs.
The lights will not be usuable for you to see with as they shine down on the road (for cornering). But it will be visible to other drivers, especially the ones that are going to pull out in front of you on a side road. If you see my avatar, you will notice that they are bright from the angle that the pic was taken. But viewing directly in front of the bike, they are dim and not real noticable. That is what my driving lights are for (below the headlight). I run them off my accessory fuse block that I installed. I use it for all the extra stuff I have added. It takes the load off the bikes wiring/fuses. The fuse block can be bought at any Automotive store and I put a relay on it so it is not powered when the key is OFF. Do not use the Accessory on the factory fuse block to power the lights. Use it only to power a relay which in turn powers the fuse block you have installed.
Here is what I done. You can get the factoryconnectors from www.cyclemaxohio.com or www.vintageconnections.com
