Motorcycle Mike Posted September 17, 2010 Share #1 Posted September 17, 2010 I bought a set of passing lamps used so of coarse no instructions. Where should I get the power from? Do I need relay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilBeaver Posted September 17, 2010 Share #2 Posted September 17, 2010 (edited) Common suggestion: - Power the lights directly from the battery with an inline fuse (or an aux fuse box through the battery). - Use a relay to to trigger the lights (either from switch, high beam, or low beam - whatever your preference is) Instructions can be found here: yamaha instructions (NOTE: yamaha does NOT suggest the use of a relay): http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=43898 Relevant Schematic: Edited September 17, 2010 by LilBeaver I'm an idiot.

theostar Posted September 17, 2010 Share #5 Posted September 17, 2010 Easiest bike of the 13 i have owned to remove the gas tank and run a wire direct to the battery with a relay under the front fairing to bypass the ign switch. May consider the passing mount spacer block offered by a fellow member on this sight before installing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kj4v Posted September 17, 2010 Share #6 Posted September 17, 2010 Mike, mine was powered straight to a wire in the fairing that was only hot when the switch was on. use the largest wire you can find that has power on it......Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
