Adding new driving lights to your motorcycle can improve visibility and also refresh the look of your motorcycle.
Before you start, you should always consult the installation instructions provided by the manufacturer of the driving lights and your motorcycle. Each make and model might have specific instructions. Also, make sure you do not take any shortcuts.
Here are the steps:
- Position your power switch This is where you will decide where you like the power switch to be on your motorcycle.
- Decide where the flexible LED light strips will be placed.
- Install the lights. If your lights have a paper backing, remove them before sticking the light on your motorcycle. Make sure to clean the installation area first.
- Disconnect your motorcycle’s battery.
- Measure the wire.
- Cut the wires and begin running them on your motorcycle.
- Solder wires to the lights.
- Attach the terminal and spade connectors.
- Run a power wire from the positive terminal of the battery to the switch.
- *Find** a grounding point on the motorcycle.
- Make final connections.
- Inspect and test.
