Thanks. Mine has a positive and negative connector (which goes to the battery) and a third yellow wire which is supposed to attach to the ACC or anything that turns on with the ignition. this is the only video that clearly explains the different ways to connect that wire.
Good info. Will look at the fuse as first option as I want to put a proper headlight on it as it has these nasty modern led side lamps ( no actual headlight)
So ive got aux lights on a relay with a switch like this. Recently had a loose earth but also intermittently, lights would stay on whilst the bike was off even if the switch was off! Could it be a faulty relay?
Hi Patrick. A relay needs is used where a larger current is required for an accessory that is using a low current switch to power it up. Some things may need to be connected straight to positive such as the connection for a trickle charger. Always use a fuse though.
Thanks. I don’t usually use the auxiliary lights at night as they dazzle. Hence I have a choice of using them or not. My installation was all fused. I now have a Moto Guzzi V7 and that was an easy installation as Guzzi supply a switched live in a super seal socket under the seat.
Iv'e got the CoLight fog lite kit and one of the wires coming out of their"intelligent controller" is called the "power loss prevention wire". They say this wire should go to the positive terminal of the headlights. My question is couldn't I use power signal from the back license plate light or tailight as you have shown? and also what amp fuse would I need to install in the "fusetap"?
Difficult to answer as my lights are not 'intelligent' and I dont have a power loss prevention wire. Sound to me, and this is a guess, is that your lights have some type of relay, possibly electronic built in. I couldn't say what size fuse you need. I used a 5 amp fuse for the relay coil and 10 amp fuse for the relay contacts which power the lights.
Greetings from the USA. This video came in handy for what i want to do. Do i have to use a relay ? And should one be used whenever something electrical is added to a motorcycle? Consider me a new subscriber Thank You and God Bless... ....Ride Safe my friend

Nice video, thanks for sharing.
I've always hated riding at night due yo the weak lighting but this would help immensely!

Quite possible. A relay is about five uk pounds so a cheap way to see if it’s broken or not. Maybe worth checking the switch too
Nice video, I'd like some aux lights on mine too but I wouldn't be confident enough to do them myself.
Thanks for posting
You’re welcome to pay me a visit and we can see if can work out what to do. The most difficult bit is getting the live feed

Excellent video buddy, I personally would just wire them to the headlights with an inline fuse to be safe. Less messing about quicker/simpler job.
