Mariner Fan Posted February 8, 2008 Share #1 Posted February 8, 2008 I just ordered Passing Lamps from Yamaha along with the cool little Visors. Is this something that is difficult to install myself or should I take it to the shop? Do we have a tech article on this? http://images.motorsportdealers.com/common/MediaLibrary/CatalogImages/62/250/7439fa007.jpg http://images.motorsportdealers.com/common/MediaLibrary/CatalogImages/62/250/73599698a.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eck Posted February 8, 2008 Share #3 Posted February 8, 2008 I do not recall a tech artilce that shows actual pictorial views or instructions of where (or how) to connect the actual driving light wiring to the bikes wiring..(color codes to connect to power, dim & to the on/off switch). I do not recall any photos or instruction in a tech artilce showing where or how to locate the on off switch either. I do not recall a tach article showing photos or instructions of what you need to do to install the chrome dome visor on the head light. If yuo do plan to do this yourself, you should review the tech article on "how to split the fairing" because this is the first step you will need to do to get to the bikes wiring and to disassemble the the head light to install the chrome head light visor.. The turn signal visors are simple. Remove the two phillip head screws from each plastic turn signal covers, align visors (do one light at a time), and re-install the plastic lens cover with the same two phillip screws. Note: Do not over tighten and break the plastic lens cover.... I just ordered Passing Lamps from Yamaha along with the cool little Visors.

flb_78 Posted February 8, 2008 Share #4 Posted February 8, 2008 While you're in there, swap out the bulbs for Sylvania Silverstars. They make a world of difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariner Fan Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share #5 Posted February 8, 2008 Thanks Eck. I already have the "Split the faring" tech article printed. Like you, I can't seem to find anything specifically related to installing passing lamps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaltyDawg Posted February 8, 2008 Share #7 Posted February 8, 2008 Here is a diagram of how Yamaha says to wire it. I personally wouldn't wire it into the head light circuit because if the fuse blows you have no lights at all. The Yamaha passing lamps are notorious for shorting the wires in the turn signals. I would run a fused wire up to the relay from the battery to power the lights. I put a weatherproof lighted switch on the inside faring just under the aux receptacle.
