I'll make a how-to so people have an easier time doing this. And you don't see many on wiring.

So first of all.. In order to acheive results you'll need one of these.. Brand is you're choice, but take you're time, relax.

Have a cold one.
I first got a wiring harness, so that I could easily unplug this headlight, and even just plug in my oem headlight for whatever reason I want to. Because I happened to come across a harness that came with one female end, and 2 male ends.
So I took the wire I was choosing to be my ground prong (yellow), and because it was on the end. I put it along with all the other ground wires from the headlight in a butt splice, and spliced all them together, before I did that thought, I slid a piece of head shrink on the wire.
I then took the other 3 wires, and attached them to the wiring harness the same way. Stuck em in the butt splice, and then crimped them, with my $5 crimping/wire stripping tool.
Here's what it should look like after the heat shrink is shrunk with a torch... BE CAREFUL WITH THAT!!

Tape those up all nice and neat.....Or get a large enough piece of heat shrink again.

Find you're green wiring harness, and unplug it. It's shoved in the back.
The Red wire, with the green dots.. That should be you're headlight feed. It was on my bike anyway. Check first.
cut, strip, then splice em back together with you're new piece of wire. 18 guage should be good. Make sure you have a better sized butt splice than I used. Mine was sized for 18-22 guage, and 2 18 guage wires didn't fit in there very good.

Run that piece of wire around as neat as you can, or feel like. cut it to length with the rest of the wires, splice it to the female end of the wiring harness. Along with the rest of the wires. Ground/High/Low/Run... Notice I have them marked so I don't mess them up. I also used bullet connectors under those heat shrink so if I wanna change the wiring harness, it's just a matter of un-plugging it.
Black is ground, Red with yellow stripe and green dot is low beam, Red with black stripe and green dot is High beam and high beam light, and solid red is that wire I spliced into for the running light.

Here we go. All tidied up again... If you would call it that.

I had all the other harnesses unplugged so it was easier to tape up.
here we go, tiewrapped back in place, ready to put the new light back on.

Here's how it mounted..

I like it!. Now just picture it with the black MX fender, and black number plates and fork guards!! YES!! looks good.

 

Looks awesome. Great write-up too. Nothing better than mods with pics.

 

I like... did you wire both the lites up to come on in high beam (looks like u tied them together in ur pic)? and is it brite? better than stock?..I put the silver star headlight bulb in my stock headlight..it was much better.

 

There are alwayse 2 lites on. There is a running light, which is on all of the time, then there are 2 seperate lights, one for high, and one for low.
... those number plates are drying as we speak! .... or, type/read

 

Excellent post- looks evil !

 

LOL!

Using a molex for a headlight.

Hahaha

 

Thank you so much for this! I'm struggling to get mine on. Quick question though, you say 2 lites are always on. The small day time bulb that is in the high beam housing, that stays on all the time you say? I was trying to get it so that that one turns off when high beam is on, so the one on the right (if your looking right at it) is always on.

 

Just like that.
Running light is alwayse on when you turn the key on. That is the light that is spliced into the wire on the green wiring harness, that runs upto the highbeam/lowbeam switch, once it goes through the plug. The others are tied onto the original wires that went to the oem headlight

 

Green I owe you alot-o-beer for this. I would not have figured it out on my own...thats how awesome I am.

I got all the electrical work done...works great (I copied your technique, I used some power supply parts from a computer). I am stuck though. Did you use the rubber straps to mount? I noticed you took em off there, did you end up using screws into the original light harness? I was trying to use the straps on the forks but that aint working in a hurry. Any closeup pics would be super!

Thanks again.

 

Resistance is futile.
