Need To Install Extra Motorcycle Lights.?
Hi. I have a 2005 Honda shadow vlx600. I purchased hardbags and they have lights on them, one on each; 9 led bulbs in each light, red lense. I am having to relocate my rear turn signals to the back. So once they are relocated, How do I connect my extra hardbag lights? They have two wires for each light; orangish/brownish one and a green one. They don’t have plugin connections like the current brake, turn, running lights have. They have female metal connections. I would like to make them into running/brake lights but am not sure if the wiring is made for that. Maybe just running lights. My manual says the “brake/tail light is 12V-32/3CP (2bulbs)”. I also want to replace the stock brake/ tail light with L.E.D. lights. The manual also says “fuses- main-30A, other fuses-15A, 10A”, Battery- 12V-8.6 Ah, generator- 0.335 kW/5,000 rpm” I have no idea what that means? But maybe you do. Do I need an accessories outlet, new fuses, What is the easiest fix?
the easy fix is cut & solder the wires to the existing Brake/tail light wires…& original fuse should be fine because LEDs draw less amperage than conventional globe,,,
The lights are single lead (the green being ground wire) so they will function only as brake or running lights. You can possibly convert them to brake/running lights with a Badlands device if you don’t mind spending another hundred bucks, or so.http://www.jpcycles.com/brand_badlands
