Aftermarket lights

[1statv]

In order to hook them up do you just cut the female connectors on the wire harness and wire up aftermarket lights??

Some lights come with clips you can hard wire to your bike. What i'm sayin is you can change the clip on your bike to the one that comes in the box with the lights. Switches Relays, and everything else sometimes.

So its only negative and positive wires? I see a couple on eBay with just to wires black and white

There is three wires, one for hi beams, one for low beams, and one for ground. I would cut the connectors of the stock lights and attach the stock connectors to the new lights.

Good idea

That's how mine are set up.

When I wired mine up they came with male and female spade connectors. Well the original terminals were so small I was just crimped the spades to them so that if for any reason I wanted to go to a stock style light all I have to do is get the plastic piece and slide them back in.

What should the watts be at to work with factory wire harness ?? I'm looking at led lights

LEDs will normally require less power than incandescent light like the stock ones.
If you can post what the power draw on those is we could tell you if they would work, I would bet they will though.

They are 15w 10-30v DC ---6,500 color temperature

Will they work? Are the bright enough for night trials?

 

[alex456123]

I would go brighter... What style lights you looking for something compact or just something super bright?

 

[beastlywarrior228]

I have oem connectors

 

[sparkymichigan]

If they are 15w each they aught to be bright enough. The stator will handle them.
Give it a try.

Something compact but that is good for night rides

 

[alex456123]

those should be good then.

More watts equals more brighter ???

 

[alex456123]

A majority of the time yes it does.

LEDs require much less watts for same brightness. Higher lumens equals brighter. U want fog lights or driving lights (not daytime running lights) when u buy aftermarket LEDs if u wants brighter lights like stock. On other hand tho stator will run multiple cheap 6 LEDs (around $10 on ebay) and in dark woods any light will help u see. Just have to slow down in the dark.

Walmart has a nice set of fog lights compact as well. 55w incandescent light will the stator handle them??

Itll be at the max so i wouldnt run them
