- Hello fellow inmates!
For the past 2 years there has been constant confusion over what you should buy. Do I buy the light pods in single pod form or in kit form? What's the difference? Here's the answer and I will show you what you need and how to connect it up.

Your videos are always so thorough, thank you 😊
Just what I needed to explain the non BMW light situation, as you say there are a lot of variations. Great stuff.👍😀
This has answered most of my questions about Denali lights. I have be wanting mount a set of S4's and daylight running (amber) lights on my ST1300 for ages. Now I know how
Another good video full of information, keep up the good work Steve.
Thanks, didnt understand what in the Denali range would have suited my tiger 1200 the best, now these are on my wish list. Thanks
Due to this vid you have a new customer from the US. Just ordered a D4 kit. Thanks Steve!
This is the video I've been searching for...BIG THANKS!!
Great tutorial.... would love to see more of these!
Thanks for all these videos. I'm fairly sure you are the only one doing these on UA-cam with useful information. I wish i had found these prior to buying my set up.
I have a modern BMW with CANbus. I did originally buy the S4 kit & installed it, but i was not happy with all the wiring and lack of functionality (i also bought the high/low switch & the dual intensity relay). Very quickly i bought the CANsmart and installed it. I should have done it off the bat, and would have saved some money too.
The wiring is so much neater, and better labelled. The functionality for the lights, and accessory options is extremely useful. Especially as you control it all with the OEM controls. The PC app is very useful to change functions and easy to use as well. I'd recommend it to anybody who was looking to install a light set up (or accessories) - even if you're not using Denali lights.
Very informative, great vid, keep up the good work 👍🏍️
THANK YOU!!! This video made it very simple. Thank you for your time I really really appreciate it!
Exactly what I've been looking for thanks for this. Order inbound in the new year some time. 👍
Splendid, clear explanation. Thank you.
Don't know what to say except THANK YOU! I was going to have the dealer buy the S4s install them with the Dual intensity switch 2021 Africa Twin AS, but now that I'm better informed I'll give it a go.
Thanks for making this so easy to understand
Proper vid, job well done mate 👌
Thanks for doing this video. I have just bought all that kit off you just the other day. This will help with my installation. Kevin
Very helpful video. Well explained.
thanks mate!!!they are very confusing on the website! im converting my africa twin to a rally bike and having the d4 as a headlight.. and this answered my exact questions!!! thank you!!!
Thanks for this video for us non-BMW bike owners. I’d appreciate some help finding those live switches and how to connect to them versus connecting to the battery directly. Also connecting to a Pdm60 vs the battery directly. Thanks,
Dave in Canada
Someone with an accent and I can still understand what he's saying, thank you for your pronunciation of words.
I have to say, I just found your channel and It's been great I adore Denali lights!. I don't have a BMW GSA (Yet) but I put a set of D7s on my Harley Davidson FatBoy S and run them through the Datadim controller switch. I'm also putting a set of B6 break light auxiliaries but got myself a custom backing plate for the offset mounts. I felt so proud with my work! Awesome channel. Congrats, when I buy some more Denali lights I'll go to your shop, though I'm from Mexico City and don't know If you ship international. If you're ever in Mexico City, let me buy you a beer.
Yes I ship worldwide
Help out a lot, thanks 👌
Great Video, very helpful
awesome video. thanks !!
Enjoy all your videos. Vary informative and entertaining as well.
I just got a African Twin for the new year. I hear that Hex in coming out with a canbus for the AT. Will you be doing kits for the AT?
Thanks in Advance.
Cheers Steve, really useful overview of a fitting option for Denali lights. I m sure you've covered this previously but I'd be interested to know where you took your switched live from on your canbus fitted GS for this demo?
Great breakdown of the electronics and show and tell. Denali should use your video. 👍
Very helpful thank you very much,
HI Steve … nice video … superb !!!
Very helpful.
Live around the corner from you in sunny Acresford… May see you on the road some time
This video helped me to finalise my aux lights set up. Thanks for the efforts put in 👍👍👍
The white wire that goes to the switched live that u mentioned, could u detail in on where i can find this in a Honda Africa Twin CRF1100L?
Sei un grande grazie! 👍😉
Ordered!
Hi My bespecled friend & Matser Con. Thanksfor that..! Informative as ever!
Cheers mate
Great video very informative, PS I think the Triumph Tiger 1200 is a can bus system too guess you see what direction I'm heading 😉
Yes it is a canbus system and no doubt hex and Denali will have something in the pipe line for it in the future. Meanwhile all triumph owners will have to settle for this kit if they want denali lights. Sold a D7 kit today to a rider with same bike as yours. Triumph twin. No idea how it’ll look but hopefully get some pics.
Greate video 👍
Thanks gave me more understanding of how the lights will wire up and work. My only concern is the bulk of the wiring harness. I'd love a set of the S4 on my Tiger 900 Rally Pro.
Seriously the harness really isn’t that bulky. When I get a bike in for a kit like this to be installed I’ll post a video. There’s more to hide with cansmart bundles and that’s no issue.
@@ABIKETHING That would be great, look forward to it.
A D7 on a swivel mount for a sidecar passenger would make for quite the fun side project...and has zero bearing to this video, but it is what it is.
GOOD JOB
Great Video. Immensely informative. I think Denali should offer a package which does not include the single intensity loom and offer it as a dual as those wishing that option end up paying for a single as well as a dual.
Can I ask if you do fit this system to a newer BMW but without a cansmart will it trigger fault codes?
Thank you! No fault codes because you’re not splicing into the bmw canbus anywhere. You’re just taking 12v supply from the battery and a supply from a switched live as a trigger.
Great video! Any idea which wire is the high beam on my 2021 BMW R1250GS?
same question here..
Did you find it?
Would you make a video installing the dial dim on a bike that does not have a denali harness?
This is public service. Period! Thanks for the detailed info. Great vids
Thanks for your video. I got my workshop to install this exact setup on my triumph 850 sport i.e. s4 kit + dual intensity + switch eliminator.
However, the way they've installed it, the s4 goes full intensity when only my DRLs are on. And when I switch to dipped, the s4s go down to 50%. Also they said they didn't really need to install the switch eliminator. Is this setup correct?
I installed Denali D1 pods on my 2018 R1200GS with LED headlight. I later decided I would spring for the DataDim controller so that I could reduce the brightness. My wiring harness already has the spot to connect the blue high beam power lead that came with the DataDim controller,.....but wondering where do I find High Beam power for the DataDim controller to tap into?
Hi, I just purchased some DR1’s, for my 2020 BMW 850 gs, i don’t have a Cansmart, and I try to do the same thing you did on this video, I have all the install and connected the wires to + and - on the battery like the instructions say but my lights won’t turn ON, I see you mentioned a “ switch Live “ do I need this to make my lights work ? Can you explained to me please what this is ? Like I said, I connect my lights directly to the + and - on the battery but nothing happens. THANK YOU
I just ordered the s4 kit and I had a question about the intensity. Can I run the s4 at 100% during the daytime or will it bother drivers?
Hello I would like to buy d4 kit but I didn’t understand where I have to instal the white wire, could you help me ? Thanks a lots, best regard Giovanni
Would like you to install the D4 on a triumph tiger 1200 . Mind 2018 model.
🤔 not sure regarding taping into high beam, or getting a switch live. As it’s a cambus system. I’m no auto electrician.
Bit reluctant to start
What would you say is the most preferred option? I'm thinking switch eliminator. thoughts?
Hey, i have a 2020 africa twin adventure sports. But i have a question about the switch eliminator i run my lights automaticly so during the day only my drl's are on when it gets dark my low beams pop on . So wil the lights (lets say the s4's) olso burn with the drl's or not?
What would you say the best kit is and and what's the price fitted to a gs 1250 adventure
Still trying to figure out how to fit a pair of D7's to my Triumph Tiger 1200 which has canbus and Triumph say it can't be done in such a way that the full power can come on with the high beam switch
What's a good drl/ night light set for a honda deauville please..
I have a Honda NC750x DCT 2021. How do I find the high beam connector?
Enjoy ur videos. Wondering if you could help me with a problem. Honda goldwing dct 2022. Purchased D3’s and dial a dim. Solid red becel comes on upon start up on occasion. I can cycle passed red becel and lights function as intended. Do you know what I have connected improperly?
It's an indication your battery is low. It should show explain this in the enclosed instructions.
which is the high beam wire that i should tap into? I can't seem to find ANY information on this.
QQ does the switch eliminator allow you to turn the pods off like the three way switch?
Excellent. Is this the Denali S4 2.0 Trioptic LED Light Pod DNL.S.4.050 (ie 3 interchangeable lenses that include 2 fog and 2 spotlights) please?
No you cannot flip the lenses on the S4.
Steve, are there any Japanese motorcycles that/rely on the CAN Bus system?
Hi Steve....When using the switch eliminator, that means the aux light will be on all the time?.....Is there a way to turn them off when using the switch eliminator?....Thanks!!!
No I suppose there wouldn’t be unless you put an on off switch inline between battery and switch eliminator.
Great video - thanks a lot. I have an older 1200 GS from 2008. I believe it has a Cansmart (do you know?). If it does and I buy the S4’s with Cansmart kit and connect them to the Cansmart on my 2008 GS, how will the S4’s work?
can I control the lights because the 2008 does not have the wonderwheel?
Will they always turn on 50% together with normal light and then go to 100% when I activate high beam with the bikes high beam light switch?
Can I turn them off and still have normal driving light on?
I guess I am not able to dim them?
Thanks.
The cansmart you require is the 11802. I have them on the shelf. This link will take you to the instruction manual. Scroll down to section 7 cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0030/3408/7524/files/Instructions_DNL.WHS.11802_rev02_507a7c50-5ee8-4a21-ae27-71f3c6588800.pdf?v=1591895561
You sound like Martin Kemp :-) Thanks!
Still need a pair of S4's on my bike that has a gen 1 ezCAN. Cheers, Mark
Click here mark. www.abikething.com/product/denali-s4-2-0-trioptic-led-light-pod/ you only need pods if you have a cansmart.
@@ABIKETHING Thanks Steve, do they come with brackets? If not, could you let me have a link for those too? Cheers, Mark
Hampstead Motorcyclists sorry I missed this. What bike is it for?
Can I add a cansmart to a 2016 Multistrada 1200s ?
My d4 are not working any tips thanks
hi , can this setup be used on a bike that has provision for a cansmart controller, i mean if were to buy this kit instead of a cansmart controller and the pods will it still work , i am talking particularly about using your method on a 2019 BMW F850GS. I was told BMWs throw a fault code when you tap into a switched input, do you mind pointing to where you tapped into for the switched input and was the bike of yours capable of taking a cansmart controller
Siddarth Ashokkumar you’re my perfect customer! Who told you about this fault? Ive read this somewhere too but when speaking to denali and UK distribution, it seems the fault or complaint has never successfully filtered back to the manufacturer. In other words I think it’s ‘Hear Say’ or someone trying to effect the success of the brand. That said, I understand your concerns and the answer is yes you can fit this kit to your bike that has the provision for a cansmart.
Hello. I didn't understand very well. Where do you plug the white wire to prevent the lights from being on before the ignition is on ? Thanks
To a switched live anywhere on the bike
I take it you are looking forward to your 2021 GSA ( yes, I read that far down!). What happened to that monster of a KTM that you had?
😂👍. It was going to be the death of me.
Great vid. But immediately hit a dilemma on your website. What’s the difference between the D4’s and the S4’s.
Martyn Smith this will help ua-cam.com/video/NG0ixz_pUZI/v-deo.html
Go for d4s if you can Martyn, they can have the lenses swopped out for fog ones where as the S4 can't as it's fixed
Listen Steve, the white wire you plug where? To prevent battery drain I mean! “Life Wire” white?!?!
Hello Steve, my problem is, I bought denali lights, the ones you talk about in the movie, I also bought a double intensity controller, and a hi low off switch, everything works fine, but I don't want to have more switches on the steering wheel, my mc is ktm 1290 super adventure s 2019, I decided to change the switch to on off and connect to the cable from the lights, everything works but the other way around, with the traffic lights on, the halogen candle 100%, when I turn on the high lights, the halogen lights dim by 50%, the cable is correct, where is the problem maybe my mistake, please help, or maybe i need to have a switch eliminator ..?
I've had this exact same thing happen with my setup that I got installed at a workshop. Were you able to find out? Wondering if I should take it back to them or of this is correct
why does the ezcan not let the Norden have all of the features ? kind of disappointing
Looks a bit like our neighbour's Christmas house. Everywhere BlinkBlink and twice a day the fuse blows because of the high power consumption :-)
I know its an old video but i hope you still read comments. I hope you can help. Or anyone. Here in the Philippines they require a switch for auxiliary lights. Where do you recommend to install one in this system?
It shows the switch you get with this system. It comes with a handle bar attachment but you can mount it where you like
Hi.can i use these lights on my Yamaha,xj900 thks
Yes. Any bike
Hi Can this option also be used to flash the lights when horn is depressed? or the 'enhanced hazards' option? or is it soley for additional lighting?
It’s just additional lighting however there is a new product on my website called the dial dim. www.abikething.com/product/dialdim-lighting-controller-universal-fit/
@@ABIKETHING thankyou
Hello. Can you explain better where the white cable is plug?
And what is a switch live ?

CA, IS MY UNDERSTANDING LIVE SWITCH IS ANY 12 ON YOUR MOTORCYCLE WHEN YOU TURN YOUR SWITCH LIGHTS COME OUT AUTO, I PLUG MY WHITE CABLE TO THE FRONT LIGTH DIDN’T NEED CONTROL ON &OFF SWITCH, DIDN’T NEED SWITCH ELIMINATOR PLUG, I ALSO TEXT HIM ABOUT ALL THE DINALI LIGHTS HE DIDN’T ANSWER, I WAS GOING TO PURCHASE ALL PACKAGE, D7,B6,D4,CANSMART,THE LOUD HORN, HE DIDN’T ANSWER SO I WENT TO TWISTED THROTTLE AND UP TO NOW DID MY 3,887.65 ALMOST TOTAL FEW ITEMS MORE, JUST A FRIEND HERE ‘’AMIGO’’

It’s been a long time since I have tapped into a GS’s headlight wires due to cansmart being used on majority GS’s. If I was doing one now I’d be taking the plug off and checking with meter. There is a video in my video list where I wire some T3’s directly into bmw and I show the wires and colours. Will find and post on here again.
I’m pretty sure it’s in this video DENALI T3 SWITCHBACK PODS BMW R1250GSA
@@ABIKETHING thanks for this, do you know if still possible to make this set up work by tapping into the high beam wire in the latest GS with LED headlight?
Hello from behind these bars [and not those bars] bruh - my question to you is: "Can I run them like 20/100 instead of 50/100 intensity-wise?"
Not using this set up. Checkout the dial dim on my website and also here on our UA-cam channel.
Question: You keep referring to BMW and KTM because they have a CAN BUS system. Don't any of the Japanese or say any of the Italians bikes also use the CAN BUS??
Hi there. I have a 2019 GSA. Could I buy a S4 kit to replace the stock Aux lights and use the stock mounts and stock aux light switch? Would you suggest any options?
Hi James. As mentioned in the video I’d advise and recommend you to buy a cansmart bundle. Click here. Will take you straight to R1250GSA cansmart bundles www.abikething.com/shop/?filter_bike=bmw-r1250-gs-adv-2018&filter_product-type=combination-packages
Hi there. I should have mentioned that I did not want to get CANSMART, as I had one on my previous GSA, and did not want to go through taking the tank off and installing the controller. I appreciate all of the CANSMART functionality, but don’t want it. So having said all of that, can I simply add the S4 lights to replace the stock aux lights?
James Suttie I see. Firstly you don’t need to take the tank off to install a cansmart. You ideally need to take the tank off if you want to do a really clean job of installing a soundbomb and any lights up front but it’s not necessary. If you just want to put some S4’s on then this is two wiring harnesses you need to route back to either the battery or a cansmart at the rear. You cannot use the plugs and harnesses that are currently lowering your oem spots to power your S4’s. Not unless you want to start chopping bmw oem plugs off and even then I can’t guarantee that’ll work.
Hi there. I am rethinking my decision on not getting the Denali bundle. How much would the shipping cost be for the Denali D4 bundle to Vancouver, Canada? Also, I might want to get the B6 brake light.
@@jamessuttie1261 Website works it all out for you but I think canada is £22 at this current time in October 2020. (these comments are here for life) 😄
Let us see where to connect under seat if it’s not the battery ?

It would have been better if it was about 20% on dipped and 100% on high. 50% is still too bright at night to oncoming traffic.
What does it mean "switched live" (where this white cable is connected) ? What it is? Is it also present in Suzuki DL1050 2022 model ?
