Africa Twin Spotlight Wiring + Lighting up the OEM switch

- I wire up spotlights on the Africa Twin. I use Stedi 25W LED spotlights, The OEM switch and a pilot LED to illuminate the rear of the switch.

A proper job and great reference for those wanting to replicate the OEM lights. Strange how you can only use the spots on high beam, meaning they can't really be used as running lights - or fog lights for that matter, as high beam in the fog is useless.
I'll be using them as spotlights. Due to the laws here, spotlights can only operate while highbeam is on. So making them operate separately is illegal. I had this issue on my KLR when it had its inspection before sale. They were switched on their own.
I wired my lights up with your diagram and video today. Thanks again for the time you put into this and for making the video.
Thank you for putting this together, really helpful!
Awesome explanation
Nice video with some great info! I appreciate you putting the time and effort into posting this. As soon as I get my brackets I'll be mounting some Baja Designs Squadron Pro's to my 2018 AT. But I'll be connecting them to my Neutrino Aurora Plus, so no relay needed and it will give me a little more control.
Great diagram, I have bookmarked this for my own install coming up.
Merci beaucoup pour ce partage d'informations. Je vous souhaites une très bonne année 2022.
Howdy, I’m going to tackle this in the future, what kind of relay do you need??
Thanks for sharing your install. Nice work
Obrigado .. apliquei do mesmo geito em minha AT ficou perfeito.. o video me ajudou muito.. PARABÉNS...
Good Video Thanks for share it all the best
Thanks for the video I just completed mine exactly the same as you did in your video, have you still got your AT?
Great video - thank you
Hello
I loved the work you did.
could you tell me how can i do the same but without turning on the high beam?
that is, being able to switch on and off whenever you need without having to log in the maximum.
independent firaria.
what is the difference in the wiring diagram.
thanks
Great video and explanation!! So do you confirm me that to make the dash indicator on the blue-black wire of original connector have to be powered with a 12v?
спасибо, ты мне очень помог!
What year crosstour is the switch from?
Hey I recently brought everything for put the fog Lights on my Africa Twin can you explain better how do the connection behind the dash I can connect the swicht thanks
very nice video! congrats
Checkout Skene Designs aux lamps controller... It simplifies switching, plus lots of fancy features.
Where can I find that switch? Thanks!
How did you find the quality and light output of these stedi lights? Debating on getting some but they don't look that bright...
Good bang for buck but I'm sure there are brighter lights out there. When your in the pitch dark they make a difference
Great job, mate!
Question: how would you wire the fog lights so the dash indicator along with the LED lights up when the fog lights are activated without having to activate the high beam simultaneously? Because there are times when I want the fog lights on without the highbeam but would like the indicator on the dash to show fog lights are on.
Also, are those the SW Motech fog light bracket on the crash bars?
The best way would be to use the switched power wire on the 4 pin plug behind the dash. That's the OEM Red-Yellow wire. You'd connect this wire to the LED positive and the switch which leads to input #86 on the relay.
The only change on my diagram would be taking the feed from the blue wire on the 4 pin connector and putting it on the red-yellow wire.
With this writing setup. Whenever the key is turned on you'll be able to have foglights on.
Yes they are the sw motech brackets on the sw motech bars
I really appreciate you getting back to me and the work you've put into making this video. Thank you! Unfortunately, I'm a noob & a dumb dumb when it comes to electrical wiring, and tight on money...so a video of your wiring (switch, relay, 4 pin, etc.) would have been really helpful. When looking at your diagram the part that confuses me is how you wired the switch, relay, and LED. For example, you have the LED positive wire splitting to the OEM switch and EB blue wire. Where did you solder/posi-tap/etc. the LED pos wire to on the OEM switch? Then you have the relay wire connected to the OEM switch wire. Which OEM switch wire did you solder it to? When connecting the OEM switch to the EB, did you cut/splice the ends? If so, how did you connect it to the EB individual wires? Sorry for all the dumb questions. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Stazza Brendan where can I find the triway system you put in the back of the dashboard
@@BJK1987AU GreatGreat Video!!
with this change to the red-yellow wire, should the dash indicator still works?
My fog light switch came with a black plug (same pt # as yours). Did you have to cut that off and build a new one with the extras that Eastern beaver sent you? Was kinda wanting to see that part of the video
I can't remember off the top of my head but I think I did cut off a plug to suit my custom loom
@@BJK1987AU ok...I did the same thing. Finally finished mine up this video is great!
Great video mate , but I'm having issues with the wiring. The White/ cream coloured plug behind the dash only has 2 wires, green and green/black. Does your plug have 4 wires in it ? I don't understand where you wire to for the dash indicator. Any help would be appreciated
There should be a 4 wire plug buried behind the dash. One of those wires is for the dash indicator. The other three are switched power, earth and high beam signal
@@BJK1987AU hi, thanks for your prompt reply , my bike is a UK 2018 Adventure Sports. It turns out Honda changed the wiring and the Aux power is now wired directly into the loom. The plug is still behind dash and it has 3 wires, I believe the blue black will turn on the fog light indicator on the dash and the other 2 wires are live and earth. Honda have removed the 4th "main beam" wire on UK and European model bikes but left it on the US model, So, I'm all good now. Thanks very much. Perhaps this comment will clarify and save someone else the trouble that I've had. Lol.
@@kirky1298 interesting they have changed it. Thanks for clarifying
@@kirky1298 hello Kirky, i was looking at those wires today behind the dash on my 2018 uk model , ( not adventure model) and only 3 wires in the spare plug like yours. and i was looking to wire up 2 fogs and the 12v accessory socket and you say the 12v is wired into the loom , are you saying there is now a separate plug for the 12v aux power to plug into ?
really confused cheers chris
Where did you buy your pilot LED? Can you share item number or link? Thank you.
It's just a generic 2 wire led from an electronics store
Great video. Top notch pro work. Congrats...
I will be setting up my lights pretty simple: no separate switch. Relay and fuse of course. I want to trigger my relay with high beam so that spot lights come on only with high beam. My question is where can I find a 12v positive line with oem high beam?
Thanks and kind regards.
Ride safe mate.
Cheers
So you want the spot lights to always come on with high beam. No seperate switch?
where Can get the Y cable. have part number? thanks
It's from Eastern Beaver. On their site. Can't miss it.
@@BJK1987AU Excellent video, it helps a great deal! A question - can you explain what the red and blue wire of the OEM switch connect to? Does one or the other connect to EB purple and / or blue wire? And then the other OEM switch wire goes to the relay?
Part number for that Y cable would be great. There’s a bunch of parts on that web page and none specifying a y cable for that area
Stazza Brendan front power splitter?
what was the bore for the led?? 6mm??
