Wiring Spot Lights

[BillyBoxer6]

Would anyone happen to have an easy to follow Wiring Diagram to cover the Wiring In of Spots on a 2005 GS please?
Something Clear and Simple would be greatly appreciated.
TIA

Are you wiring via a switch, or direct to loom (no switch)

High beam circuit ? or low beam circuit

What bits have you got allready

It's for a Mate on his Bike so I'll have to ask exactly what he wants (shudda done that first ).
So far he has Chinese Spot Lights!
Is it possible to take a Feed direct from the Side Lights without affecting CanBus?

Something like this...............
(Completely independant circuit of other lights and switches on the bike)

Thanks Philbuck.
Only Issue I can see there is that he can leave them on by mistake?
Or, someone else could switch them on whilst the Bike is Unattended.

That is an issue, but easily fixed.

So he (you ) want them wired in with the bike electrics

Eliminate the switch & wiring - Yellow & green in the diagram

you need to wire one side of the relay to the battery, and the other side to the bikes light circuit

I need to find a diagram without a bloody switch lol

if ive got it right, run a wire from pin 86, and tap this into The +12v feed on the low beam bulb holder

If ive got it right, the 12v on pin 86 pulls the relay closed allowing the power to run from pin 30 to 87

you van use a swith if you want, but mine were wired without

If it's wrong someone will shout out

Yes, that makes sense to me.
It'll be me doing the Wiring anyway, so that's all that matters!

That said though, will taking a Power Source to the Relay from the Dip Supply create CanBus Issues?
We stuck some LED Bulbs in for him and the Warning Light came on

I have just wired up some spotlights, and rewired the headlights on my KTM 640 adv through relays and used these, below. They are completely waterproof I used them as the cheap relay I used on a previous install was always the point of failure.
It took me bloody ages as I wired the spots into the main lights so they can only come one with side, main or dip beam and go off with the ignition, also wired in a warning light on the dash so I could see if they were on, plus a seperate switch for the spots so I could have lights on power to the relay but not spots until I hit the switch, talk about making life difficult !!!

If you mean, taking the power source for the lights themselves, from the dipped beam circuit, then I'm sure the CanBus will complain. But if you're only taking the "relay" feed (pin 86), from the dipped circuit, you'd probably get away with it, as it'll be minimal current.
Any ignition fed circuit would drive the relay part of things, and you run the main circuit via a fuse from a large current source such as the battery.

 

[Santa-2512]

No canbus will not complain,

your drawing low current across that side of the relay.

The big load is going across the other non canbus aide of the relay ( if that makes sense)


The leds (spotlights ) shouldn't draw that much power to upset the canbus

How big are they size wise ?? they look very compact

i dumped the switch with warning lamp on my install,

Only because everything else was waterproof connectors and lamps but the switch looked like a xmas cracker job

Fair play on your install, you lost me after the main & dip wired together

Thanks to everyone for their valuable Input.
My Mate says he's happy with the "Dip" Option so at least I know where I'm heading now.

the relay is a bit longer and fatter but not by much.

the main dip thing is easy. If you have a light switch like mine then you have off, on side, on headlights then a seperate switch for main or dip beam. But the side light is on as soon as lights go on and stays on regardless of which headlight beam you use.

So I took a feed from the sidelight power supply wire, that way as soon as I switch the side light on I have power going to the switch for the spots, as soon as the lights switch of then power to the spot lights is also off easy.

I use the on off switch for the spots to actually just switch the relay, and the lights then take power directly from the battery. Not much current running through the switch wiring all the current going direct from battery to lights along suitable gauge wire
