UPDATE 3 years on! These lights are STILL working and still functioning as they should. The light switch ended up failing in a heavy storm we had a few years back. I have since taken this out and wired the live into a piggyback on the headlight fuse - really simple to do with no wire cutting or splicing. That basically means the lights come on and off with the ignition as the headlight does. Way better! Emma has also had no issues with being seen or seeing on dark country lanes which is exactly what we wanted from them! Thank you for all the recent comments on this video! Seems to have hit the algorithm again!

Just for your information, do not forget the utility of dielectric grease, another interesting item is there is a Firearms cleaner and Oiler called strike hold on the market I don't know whether it's available where you're at. You spray that on electronic items and it insulates them quite well from shorting out because I've seen electronic items sprayed with this and put into a water bath and they function just fine. It is a tremendous product for that application. And every little bit helps

Thanks for another great review! 👍

Hi did you get black or light? What's the difference.

I have got the same lights. the Switchbutton (red light) stays on while fog and ignition is off. Not sure how to fix to prevent battery drain. Any advice?

@SamVBikes

2 жыл бұрын

There are a few options but depends how confident you are with wiring. One option is wiring the power for the lights into an ignition live wire. Something that only comes on when your ignition is on but that involves hunting for a suitable wire and splicing into it. Normally something like your lights, or horn etc but make sure it's a bigger amp wire like the headlight. If its a small led, it should barely draw any power so hopefully it wouldn't drain the battery unless you're leaving the bike for a long time. The other option is wiring in a switch into the power lead going to the battery. So you would essentially have two switches to turn the lights on, but you could turn that 2nd switch off if you're going to leave the bike for a long time. Hope that helps

Hi Sam, great video which made me dare to install the same foglights on my NC750x, but I'm now a bit worried about the fuse of 30Amp that came with the lights.The lights are 40Watt, so that's about 3.3Amp times 1.1, would need not more than a 5Amp fuse, not? Would you advise to swap the 30Amp for a 5Amp fuse? To me that seems safer or am I wrong?

@SamVBikes

Жыл бұрын

Thank you! Yes you're right, I ended up swapping the fuse for a lesser one because I didn't see the need for such a high amp. I believe I put a 10amp in in the end!

@SamVBikes

Жыл бұрын

I could just about close it but it was pushing down quite hard so didn't have it shut in the end. I cut that section from the lid of the fuse box so 99% of the lid covers, then just the one poking through. Or just put it roughly in place and replace the battery cover which holds it in place. I used the fuse for the display if I remember rightly. Only comes on when ignition is on etc

I thought the point of having a relay was so you could run it from the side lights so it comes on/off with the ignition ?

Piggyback fuses replaces a fuse in the port with a connector, then you plug the fuse into that connector. Which is where the name piggyback comes from. The bike doesn't know any different, but you can draw Current from that fuse port
