Hi all
I bought a couple of the head light upgrade kits Chris fitted for each of my cruisers. I started fitting the first one this weekend but it appears that someone has done a lot of fiddling with the electricals / wiring - not for the better!
Below are some photos of my findings. I'm looking to:
- check what I did was correct
- confirm what the "extra plug" is / does it connect a second harness?
Calling Chris.. I'll turn this in to a step by step doc afterwards if its useful
What the wiring looks like when I found it
Wires have been cut and dodgy old rusty strip connectors used to join wires
Wires running to the brights were frayed, soldered together and bare metal!
Lights are grounded to the body
Where the wiring harness runs back in to the engine bay
What's this for?
I worked through the instructions which were a little vague!?
End result after cabling in the harness with 2 x red connectors to the battery positive, 1 black negative wire to the body and 1 to the battery terminal given the cable length, plugging the H4 connector to the light bulb. Also connected the 2 black ?? Boxes to the respective connectors.
I now have no brights and one main beam working? Any ideas?
Thanks as always..
