This by far was the best install video on TH-cam for these lights. Very easy to follow and you showed just about every step you need to do. Definitely helpful. 👍🏼👍🏼
thank you for the nice feedback!
You can't go wrong with Grolsch! I didn't know they still make the swing tops. I need to install aux lights on my KTM. Great video!
I put these same lights on my 890 and went through the bottom plate. What a PITA! Great vid brought back some memories.
Great video! Thank you for showing how you installed the lights and gps. I am going to use your methods of diagramming the bolts and fasteners- that was really cool. Thank you!
Thanks. Good luck with your install. The direction that come with the Cyclops kit are pretty good in terms of what wires to connect.
Awesome video; thank you! I’ve been kicking around getting these lights. Looks like it will give me the opportunity to clean up my Garmin wiring too which has not sat well with my OCD!
Great video. Made the install less intimidating for those of us that are less technically savvy. If you haven’t done so already make a video installing the P3-D-TS Skene P3 Tail/Brake Lighting System
Upgrade to an option: P3 lights with Turn signals and decelerometer.
I’ll add those to the list! I do like the Tail/Brake though.
Nice! Maybe my next upgrade 👍
Brilliant job and video - wow!! Thanks very much, enjoyed it!!
So nice and details.❤thanks
Así deberían ser todos los videos de instalación de accesorios, excelente!
De nada. Estoy contenta de que haya gustado.
Very clear explanation and neat work!
One nitpick: the GPS leads (connected into the lights harness' pass-thru) looked like they had exposed metal - if they touch you get a short. Good idea to shrink-wrap everything before final reassembly.
Thank you. And good catch. You are right. That wasn’t actually the finished product in the video. I pushed the male leads all the way in and then put a wire heat-shrink housing around each lead to make sure they didn’t touch and no water would ever get in.
I was just trying to illustrate where and how the connection is made. But good catch!
Thanks a lot,
I'm not an electrician. Can you please explain more about the blue wire connection? Do you need to cut the blue wire? If so, which sides do you connect the Cyclops blue wire to?
11:29
No, you don't need to cut the blue wire. You make a connection with a Posi-tap. It's that red cylindrical plastic piece. I also discuss at 8:00. It's super simple. You screw the Posi-tap onto the blue wire from the headlight harness on the KTM. Google Posi-tap and how to make the connection. Don't be intimidated by this step in making the connection, it really is simple.
Can you please share the template on where to drill the holes in the plastic?
It comes included in the directions in the kit. They may be located on the Cyclops website.
I love that mounting point. Looks great inside the tank like that! Do the lights come loose with just one anchor bolt like that?
Thanks! Just one mounting point is all that’s needed. The lights stay in place, not to worry. It also keeps them protected when you crash because it’s inside the tank area.
@@jac5431 Great benefit and they dont protrude or look out of place. I like them on low with the DRL setting. Do they turn off if you turn your DRL off?
The way I have these lights wired is that the DRL comes on automatically when I turn the ignition key on the bike and they stay on, no option to turn them off.
When I flick the high beam switch, then the full spit lights come on and are turned off when I flick the high beam switch off.
That's the video i was waiting for.
Quick question at 8:45 those 2 flat connectors goes into acc2 (switched) or acc1 (always on) but you mentioned i think to connect them to both of them acc1 & acc2...I don't get it. Either you choose acc2 or acc1. not both...Is that correct?
You connect to both ACC1 and ACC2 wires labelled from the Cyclops kit to ACC1 and ACC2 pigtails on the bike. Hard to see but shown at 11:40. Here’s how it works.
In the Cyclops kit, the wire harness is already connected to by the bullet pin connectors labelled ACC1. Comes this way in the Cyclops kit. Plug that into the ACC1 pigtails on the bike.
Next, connect the bullet pins from the wire on one of the lights to the spider wire labelled ACC2 that comes with the kit. Then connect that into the ACC2 pigtails on the bike.
In the segment of the video around 8:30 you can see to my right another set of wires. That’s the ACC2 from the kit I am referring to that you connect with the bullet pins from the wire on the light. Obviously, red to red, black to black.
Then you should be all set.
@@jac5431 thank you i did not see that extra harness when watching the video. So from the harness already connected to the cyclops main harness which goes to acc1 you connect this extra harness (shown to your right) and this one goes to acc2. I dont really see the point of having 2 small harnesses going to acc1 & acc2. But i am bo electrician as you know already
Yes, seems strange, but here’s what’s going on. The ACC1 connection from the Cyclops kit to the ACC1 on the bike provides power to the whole system. The ACC2 connection powers the relay switch, which is that black box on the Cyclops wiring harness. So, when you turn the key on the bike the relay switches the day running lights on. When you turn the high beams on, the relay switches the flood lights on. When you turn the key off, the relay switches everything off.
You basically have two circuits at work. One that powers the DRLs and the other that powers the flood lights. The relay switches from one circuit to the other.
The relay is just another word for switch. It relays, or switches from one circuit connection to another. The high beam switch on your car works the same way, it’s powered by a relay.
Thanks for being curious and asking the question. It’s good to know why and how it works so if something goes wrong you can troubleshoot it in the future. But let’s hope we never have to!
@@jac5431 Thank you so much for taking the time. Since i don't want the DRL but just aux lights full power when pressing the high beam do you think the cyclops harness will be much simpler and just connect to the acc2 without relay?
Hmmmm. I’m not sure. You can try that. But the aux lights may just turn on with the bike and stay on.
You can try different configurations. You will not do any harm to the bike.
You can try plugging in the ACC1 attached to the Cyclops harness into ACC2 on the bike. Plug the bullet connectors from the lights into that same ACC1 from the kit. This may work.
Which gps mount did you install? I’d love to make both modifications but I’m not sure Ican actually do it, not a DIY person😂
It was a NICECNC Mount. Got it on Amazon, $50. Seems like it would be OK, I’m sure there are better out there.

@@jac5431 thanks! Sorry, other question: what tool are you using? Is it some kind of automatic torque wrench?
@@lele.grazioli yes it is. But it’s unnecessary. All you need is either a screw driver or ratchet with a T30 torx bit. You can definitely do this job. If you are just installing GPS, then it will be very simple. Connect to the ACC2 pig tail leads. On your bike that will be the brown wire (negative) to the black GPS wire and the black wire with red stripe (positive) to the red wire from the GPS.
Why are the lights so yellow?
The video makes the look more yellow than they actually are. But that said, it’s the design of the amber auxiliary light. If it is grabbing your attention, then it’s working because it enables you to be seen on the road better by other cars. The more obnoxiously conspicuous they are the better! It’s great to been seen by other cars!
