Hi all I could use some good advice
I'm trying to install some givi s310 trekker lights to my honda nc750x
I have wired direct to the battery but they are not working what am I doing wrong?
I would upload photos but I can't see how
Thanks

Have you got the relay installed?Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.0

Yes I have installed all parts that came with the pack
I have tested all connections and they all have 12v going through but both lights are not working0 -
So you're using a switched live to trip the relay?
Have you tried eliminating the relay by going straight to the battery to make sure the actual lamps are working?
What cables are connected to which terminals on the relay?Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.0 -
If you mean that literally then you have a problem with the wiring - one side needs to go to the battery negative.sithmaster wrote: »... they all have 12v going through ...

I have connected light direct to battery and it works
So here is the connection setup as best as I can explain
Positive + negative connected to battery this goes to switch (relay)
Relay goes to on/off switch (1 wire) + both lights
Ignition wire spliced into positive wire comming from battery
That goes to fuse then to on/off switch
Hope that makes sense0 -
It should be wired like this

the clue might be in the word "LED" , have you reversed the wiring going to the lamp?Save a Rachael

I think his lights are halogens, that was just a drawing to give him an idea of how they should be wiredChange is inevitable, except from a vending machine.0
