Light help please!

My lights are the fog lights fitted to the tourer. I got them from an internet dealer as just the two lights ($120). The wiring is down to the installer along with providing cable and any other kit needed. I decided on 17amp rated cable & a 10amp fused relay. I had the Triumph heated grips fitted some weeks previously & the switch housing is designed to hold switches for both but I had to buy the toggle switch from the local electronics store which is rated 5amp only, hence the need for the relay which I would have fitted anyway.

I used a different fuse on mine, the mini,square ones, just like the ones that the rocket use, i now have a 10 amp fuse and used all suplied wire and cheap switch, dont like it, i will look for a better one,this is the almost final result.

tdragger reckons the switch & wiring is supplied with your lights so it should all be ok for the installation. How are those lights fitted? they seem to be attached to the radiator cowling, mine are attached to the front end fixing kit so line up with the headlights 4 across, might fit some LED's lower down later.

I just took the existing bolt on the side of the radator off and used it to hold the light brackets, it workde out good but i figured something out,,, it is not metal, i was going to ground the lights with the same bolt but no luck, had to run the ground to the frame just behind the triple tree

I mounted mine on the left side frame cover cover under the front of the seat. Easy to get to even with my winter mitts and semi-protected from the elements.

I really like the brightness of the lights but i do not like the quality, they look like water will get inside the assembly, i don't want a short so i think i will look for something more trustable, the good thing is that now i know how to do it
