I did the exact same thing on my 2002 xr650r tusk kit with the Baja light !!! Great work I wish I would have watched this before so save myself some struggle 😂 🤙🏼
Really nice video… in process of similar project on a different bike… key to the headlight conundrum is having the wiring pinout for the controller switch you are using…. U need 12 volt into the control switch and then the high and low wires are the 12 volt outputs to the headlight… then connect headlight return to a ground…
The Rocky Mountain control switch video was very helpful. Idk about that headlight, but those beams may pull too much power for those wires… at least according to the Rocky Mountain video. I ended up running a new power wire directly from the battery with an inline fuse in a thicker gauge wire to the black, then the blue and white go to the high and low beam. The headlight got a ground directly to a grounding spot in the bike. Hope that’s helpful.
The black an white is the neutral the red to black is your power going to switch when switch is flipped to low or high beam sends power too blue wire too lite an back thru the white an black to complete circuit
12:35 is what I came for.. Would be helpful if Tusk pointed out in their diagram that their harness assumes headlight power already exists. I plan on pulling power from the brake light power wire

Ya it’s a nice setup! I appreciate the comment.
@@DirtbikeJourneys bike was stolen one month after this comment ! cops just recovered the bike last week ! he cut up my entire wiring !

Thanks for the info!
Glad I saw your comment, helpful! I wish YOU would do a video on this! I'm sure you know the "rubber wrapping" on the wires is called insulation...😉😀

Oh that’s interesting. The headlight seems to be working fine for now.

Why would the headlight need power if the switch is the regulator of the power and has power going to it?
So the headlight is getting ground from the switch

Ya I agree! Thanks
Hey there, just recently did this install and i was wondering where you got those adapters for the brake light?
