fufu74 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Hello, I'm fufu from france (sorry if I make grammar & spelling mistakes :-P) I'm creating this thread just to show you how I mount my aux light on my FJ-09. It may interrest some people I mount them with a dimmer and a 2 mode switch. 1° The two light are mount under the main head light. There are fixed using the 2 original screws of the oem light, with one bracket (the first picture is not mine) 2° then I fixed the 3 mode switch (off, low, high) There is two way to use the installation with the switch Low power mode: It's possible to adapt the power by using a remote control, and you can even have some special mode (strobe, dimmer, etc...) And a full power mode I also prepare the installation of an automatic mode: if the switch is on low power mode and you switch on the main oem light, then the aux light pass to full power mode. I could not finish the installation because I need to find a +12v wire linked with the main beam and I still don't know where I can find one. If someone find a solution, please send me a private message. 3° I also installed an indicator LED: green, low power mode, red, full power mode I'm quite happy with the result Now this is how I did it The gear (You may find alternative I guess): 2 Aux light you can easily find on ebay, with strong power A box TAKACHI TW7-4-11B http://fr.farnell.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=15001&langId=-2&urlRequestType=Base&partNumber=2444684&storeId=10160 a 3 color LED APEM Q8F3BZZRYG12E http://fr.farnell.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=15001&langId=-2&urlRequestType=Base&partNumber=2008539&storeId=10160 A 3 mode switch K S Technologies 12-0050 Mini Headlight Switch with Kill Function 12-0050 760676 http://www.ebay.fr/itm/330877960890 One dimmer http://www.ebay.fr/itm/12V-RF-Wireless-Remote-Switch-Controller-Dimmer-for-Mini-LED-Strip-Light-New-FD-/301747580727?hash=item46418eaf37 One 2 road 12 v relay module http://fr.aliexpress.com/item/2-road-12-v-relay-module-with-optical-coupling-isolation-support-high-and-low-level-trigger/32459328902.html Several Rectifier Diode 1N4002 IN4002 DO-41 http://fr.aliexpress.com/item/Free-shipping-New-20PCS-Professional-Rectifier-Diode-1N4002-IN4002-DO-41-Good-Quality-Product/32298291859.html Then some additionnal component (connector, etc...) The mounting scheme The main power is coming from a fuzeblock FZ1 ( http://www.fuzeblocks.com/ ) that I mounted before. It's in charge to protect the system with a fuze and turn on or turn off all the system when you start the bike. You may find another way to plug the whole system to the battery. I guess the scheme is easy to understand by itself. Just some translation: "voyant" is "Indicator LED", "Spot" is the Aux Leds, "Pleinphare" is "main oem light" Once everything is ready, you put everything in the boxe and you pass all the wiring by a hole. Then you need to use some connectors Finally you get something like that. How to mount it on the bike Every thing goes behind the windshield. If i had to redo it, i will try to make something smaller. Everything fits, but it becomes a bit more difficult to move the windshield afterwards. You need to install a main wire from the battery to the front of the bike. I pass the wiring behind the fairing on the right side of the bike. I did not take pictures. For the switch, very easy. Just fix it on the handlebar and follow the oem wiring For the indicator light, I mount it inside a heat shrinkable tube and fix it along an oem cable coming the right side of the handlebar. I did not find a better place I hope this installation could help somebody else. If you have any comments, fell free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db5304 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 This is an amazing write-up, thanks for taking the time. I've been pondering some Aux lights, just haven't decided if I want them or not yet. Again great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a1willson Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Nice write up and I know we have talked before on PM trying to find a source for the high beam. I eventually gave up on it after trying a bunch of wires that go to the high beam since the power in the wires went from On when the high beams were off to Off when the high beams where turned on. So since that was the opposite of what I needed I just stopped until I had time to figure something else out. So I'll be watching your thread to see if anything is figured out.

docsimple Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 awesome write up. I already ordered a cheapo set and I just figured I'd go with a simple on/off switch wired to a switched power source but had I seen this first... 2015 Red FJ 09 2013 WR250R - little boy blue - sold 2012 DL650 V Strom - sold 2007 FZ6 - sold 1986 FJ600 - sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fufu74 Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 I guess it would be possible to use a 3 road 12 v relay module, and use one relay only to bypass the dimmer when Highbeam power goes to off (for each relay, you have one circuit when the trigger is off and a second circuit when the trigger goes on) But all the installation will become bigger.
