Wiring Help Needed...I"m goin insane

I just purchased an Acerbis kit w/blinkers...I have a red and a black coming from each headlight and blinker. One headlight is low beam, one is high beam.



I can't figure out for the life of me how to break the original wires down for this. I have the book right in front of me and the wiring diagram doesn't really help.

Anyone done this before ??


So ****ing frustrating because it shouldn't be this complicated...

Just hook it up. If the low beam comes on then when you switch it to the high beam that works your good. If not switch the wires. Back away from the beer.

the three wires to each headlight should be ground, low beam, and high beem. use a tester to find the ground and hook those up then connect the two high beam wires to one light and the two low beam wires to the other light... if nothing is coming on than check you fuses. you might have popped one when messing with the wires.

Re: Wiring Help Needed...I"m goin insane

You know some bikes the lights don't come on till the motor is started so it gets more juice to the starter. Which means no juice to the headlight wires. Is the bike running after you hook the lights up? This could be your problem. Thanks Deniro600 "SUPER GENIUS"
