OEM harness for PIAA LP530

[racer1735]

Can someone give me the Yamaha part number for the OEM wiring harness that comes with the LP530 light kit (77302)? I'm not finding it separately on the Yamaha USA site....maybe its Euro only (if so, who can I purchase thru)? The harness/that comes with the standard lp530 is very long and the switch isn't weather resistant. Im looking at a good deal on the LP530 but I'd prefer the Yamaha harness over the lengthy one in the LP530.

I don't believe Yamaha made a specific harness for the LP530. Many folks on here added a OEM connector to the harness that came in the kit so it would plug right into the bike. The original halogen PIAA kit that was available as an option in Europe was plug & play.

next question.....am I ahead to purchase the necessary connectors and run them thru the OEM aux plug, or wire them through my Fuzeblock? The Fuzeblock sounds like the easier method.

It depends...are you planning on adding anymore electrical farkles (GPS, heated gear, etc.)? If so, then adding an aux fuse block and using the factory plug to trigger the relay for ignition switched items is the way to go. If you're only planning on adding the lights, and nothing else, then wiring it directly to the factory plug is the easiest and cleanest way to install.

I already have a Fuzeblock and installed with heated grips and a battery tender wired into it. Just didn't know if it made more sense to wire the lights through it or through the auxiliary light switch?

I did mine a little differently, since there is not an extra switch from the factory, but the lights themselves are wired though my PC8 fuse block.

I said switch but what I was referring to was the auxiliary connector that is under the cowling by the battery.

Gotcha, I was wondering about that. So wiring the lights depends on how you want them to come on. With the aux plug and a relay in the wiring harness, the lights would switch on with the key.

And using a separate switch and relay (and tap into the running lights), they would come on when I wanted them on....or tap them into one of the light circuits to have them with that particular lamp?

Exactly. There is also the Skene controller; I have one for my handlebar lights, and it works very well. They come on with the ignition, and the controller allows you to set three different levels (using a SPDT, Center Off switch), plus when tied into the high beam circuit, they will jump to 100% brightness. With the optional Alert feature, tie the controller into the horn circuit, and you have a flashing mode that should help catch people's attention.
