Also I sparked the wires and now the lights dont work at all. Fuses? [sm=WTFsgign.gif]
Dang. I've done that before, myself. Now I always disconnect the battery before touching anything else electrical on the bike (or car, or whatever)

That's why you use tools... Ohmeters, and test lights. Don't guess..
Anyway. I got the oem headlight off, and the cyclops will mount right on, with some type of (2) 3/8" spacers, and 2 bolts and nuts..
As for the lights. Mine came with a wiring diagram. I don't know about anyone else's..
But the light in the bottom of the spotlight is the running light, the light in the centre of the spotlight is the high beam, and the otherround smaller light is the low beam.
This creates only 1 problem when installing. You must tap into a constant hot wire that is switched on when the key is turned on. There is only a ground, a switched for the lowbeam, and a switched for the high beam, down at the oem light. No constant live wire for the running light.

I'll probably just tie the low beam and the running light together rather than tapping into other wires for the constant hot wire though
EDIT: No. wait. Can't do that. Because then the high beam won't be bright enough... I'll haveto tap into a constant live wire somewhere.I was thinking my tail light, but wasn't able to find that feed up at the headlight.

ORIGINAL: stellar_d

K i'm going to post in here since its more related. I got the cyclops. I'm not sure how the wiring works and which bulbs are supposed to be on/off. Anyone have any ideas or install something similar to the cyclops? Its got some small light thats inside the high beam (which I assume is the daytime light) and another round light that I assume is a flood light.

Also I sparked the wires and now the lights dont work at all. Fuses? [sm=WTFsgign.gif]
K stellar_d. I got it all figured out for ya. Pictures to come.
The green wiring harness that's shoved to the back, it goes up to you're signal light, high beam/low beam, horn switch. Unplug that, and the one wire that's slightly a thicker guage, it's red with green dots on it. That's the feed for you're headlights. That you can use to run you're running light. Just cut it in the centre between the green plug piece and where it tangles up with all the rest of the wires. Strip about a 1/4" of the wire and butt splice them together, and when you splice them together insert a new piece of wire about say 10" long. Then you can cut it to length later.
Run that new wire down to you're running light.
When you unhook the oem headlight you need to cut all the wires off. Make sure you're key is turned off or you may get some more sparks if you cut more than one wire at a time.
The black with yellow stripe wire is you're ground, the 2 red wires that are tied together in the original light together are the high beam. I think they are red with a green stripe? 2 the same color anyway. And the last one that was tied into the headlight was the low beam. I think it's green with a yellow stripe.
The reason for 2 wires tied into the high beam is because one goes up to the high beam light on your instrument cluster.

So you're new Cyclops light should have come with a wiring diagram. If it didn't. I already expained which lights are what.
