Earlier this week I installed a set of Givi LED fog lights on my ALTRider crash bars and now I am looking to permanently wire them up.
I do have a handle bar mounted on/off switch.
My options are:
1) wire directly to the battery(battery currently has the +/- wires installed for my NOCO battery charger/maintainer)
2) splice into the headlight wire harness(are there separate low beam and/or high beam wires?)
3) if I remember correctly the S10 on the battery side has tucked away an unused OEM aux wire with some sort of plastic connector
already attached that can be used to run a pair of aux lights(?). I guess if this way is used aux lights can be used when key is turned to on position but engine not running?
If I opt for splicing into the headlight harness (quite intimidated by this)I will need to choose either the low beam or the high beam wire
which leads me to believe that splicing into low beam wire will allow aux lights to be used with low beams but does that mean then
when I put on high beams the aux lights will not be on? I imagine the same action applies for wiring into the high beam wire which will
only allow the aux lights to be used when the high beams are on?
I did try to search out answers but honestly I could not come up with valuable, useable info.
I am vaguely familiar with the S10's wiring layout.
Even through I have been riding forever so it seems I never really did too much with bike electrical systems and wiring.
My head is kind of close to an exploding level.
