The reason I took the time to get the harness and go through all the trouble, is because I wanted to do the job right and have to worry about cutting into any other wiring that could lead to issues or guesswork down the line. This project was great for developing soldering skills, and I...

As promised Other tasks (honeydo list) got in the way so I was unable to finish the project yesterday.... today is a different story. I was able to ensure all the lights worked, switch worked and connected both car adapter and usb ports.... all wired as directed and it works. I was able to get...

Thanks all... it got a bit late to finish the wiring and connecting everything, once I get ti back together ill send a picture of the wiring, the moc switch and also the lights on. This is exciting stuff.

Thank you... I will make the changes

Ok.. thanks makes sense... I did some testing by using a larger amp fuse and all power works, I only tested one light direct to the harness and it worked. I will not test out your advise. If this works, I will be a lucky man! unfortunately fuses of 7.5 don't come easy where I'm stationed...

external lighting auxiliary wiring issues Here is what I did.... Install the relay, fuse, harness... tested to make sure I had power.... at first I didnt because the harness was wired wrong with the brown wire connecting to a purple wire not the red power wire, so I corrected the issue...

As of now im out of fuses for the relay so I cant do any more testing... Ill do a picture of a drawing

Im back... I am having a new problem, the 7.5 amp fuse blows when I turn my auxiliary lights on. anyone have a fix for this? should I put a larger amp fuse for the relay switch? could it be the lights? their draw is 1.5 amps per light.

excellent.... this is my wire. again thank you for all the knowledge, and making something that seemed so mind boggling to simple. I cant wait to get some time off work and to take it apart and make all this happen. I know it wont take that long but this is my primary mode of transportation and...

Thank you for the info.... now that we established the brown wire is a good wire to use, this has generated another question. What happens to the power in the brown wire once the brights are turned on? does it lose power?

Dumb question here... I just read that on the accessory harness brown wire is switched power.... to me this translates to connect my power wire to it, that connects to my new switch or direct to the lights and ensure everything is grounded, and my problem is solved?

I should have been more specific about the power outlet, its the Honda setup with the relay and sub-harness. I also forgot to add that I attempted wiring direct into the headlight but wasn't happy with the results.... it seemed a bit shady and could cause issues later on. I am open to using...

There is about a thousand posts about auxiliary lighting all of which seem pretty confusing. I have a pair of Rigid Industry Dually flood lights (model 20211). I want to wire them as an an independent system using an inline fuse, and not direct to the battery. problem I'm having is finding the...

I purchased my NC about 6 months ago... and from the second I got in my garage I started on upgrades... first came the light bar, than the crash bars, than the replacement of the chain guard to the mudguard/chain guard, I felt the headlight wasn't bright enough so I purchased a rigid industries...
