Re: Led headlight kit

I have Bought Two of
Hot 1x 30W CREE U2

Model: LED-U2J
Material: Aluminum alloy
Voltage: DC10-30V
LED Type: CREE U2
LED Quantity: 1 x Light emitted diode
Color Temperature: 6500K
Luminous power: 30W
Actual power: 12W
Luminous flux: 1200LM

Can Any one Help me about making electrical connection in correct way,
Where should I take the positive from?, I guess negative doesn't matter that much

I drive Apache RTR Hyperedge 150 2012.


Thanks for Helping in Advance

You van take the positive of the pilot lights and add a switch so that you can switch it off if not needed.

Cool. Are you sure that's Genuine cree?
I'd like to know pricing and source.

Connection :

1. Both wires in your light are Black, right ?
2. Connect them to battery 1 by 1, that way, you'll get to know which one is positive and negative.
3. When confirmed Tie up both the Positive & Negative wires together > Check again with battery > Both should work.
4. Mount your lights on bike, wherever you want.
5. Buy a Push / pull switch from electrical shop (clearly mention him that you want a battery switch for bike)
Image reference :

6. Find out your Pilot lights plug > Unplug them and make sure they are Pilot light plugs.
7. Connect your lights Positive & Negative into the Plug > Switch on Pilot lights and see if they work > If they don't switch wires : Positive - Negative issue. In the end, it should work.
8. Now insert the Negative wire of light direct into pilot light.
9. Take a extra piece of wire > Connect the positive wire of light into 1 connector on Push / pull button > connect the new piece of wire into other connector of button.
10. Now what you have is :
2 Negative wires of Lights directly going in Pilot lights Negative hole > 2 Positive wires of Lights going into button > 1 new piece of wires to button.
11. Connect the new piece of wire to Pilot light Positive
12. Try switching it on and it should work. If it does not switch on from Push / pull button.
13. After inserting both wires into Pilot plug, close it back as it was. This is a bit tricky thing because there is too much wires you've inserted.
Trim the wires a bit to make them thin. To Trim : cut a few thin wires from that whole bunch of thin wires making it thick.
14. Wrap a tape on this plug.
15. Place your button anywhere you want. Mine is connected to the button Screw of Crash / leg guard. Not visible to anyone.

P.S. : On a new bike, avoid cutting any wire.
If something goes wrong, you can easily take back the wires this way, cutting wires may lead to no warranty. !

I hope its clear ??
Now tell me the price and source of your lights

Now tell me the price and source of your lights Details are given below

Here is the link from where I bought it, "http://m.ebay.com.au/itm/171383617161?_mwBanner=1"

I know how to make the connection, and also know that all the orange wires in apache carries 12v Dc. I don't know that if they are dedicated or not. If it is god if i take it from headlight relay, in there i found 2 orange, which one should i take.

Re: Led headlight kit

^^ What do you intend on using these lights for? you need to bare in mind that these don't have a cut off and there for if you are riding around with them on all the time, all you will achieve is blinding everyone, these lights also don't have much throw, at best you get extra foreground which doesn't help much. You could hook them up to your high beam.

I have something similar, 2no 10 watts Led, I use them for the pass/flash function when my projectors are off, when they are on all other lights (demon eyes, drls and led spots) are disabled.

Like this;

Well it has sharp edge but its round not straight. I will keep the ac head light though. These are projector, they dont blind other like hid did.

Dude projectors blind the most when they are pointed the wrong way. You don't have much choice but to run it directly from battery as your bike is AC, do not tap into the pilot lamp wires, they will overheat. Build a harness with 2 cables (black and red colored for ground and power respectively) get a pair of battery connectors, crimp the connectors on the wires and connect the red one to the battery red or positive terminal and connect the black or ground to any ground on the bike. Get a good quality push pull switch and install it in the red wire between the battery and the lights and mount that switch to the handlebars. Be sure to use a 3 amp inline fuse in between the switch and the battery.

If you ave Skype, I could guide you step by step.

BTW where did you get those lights from? It would be better if you post some snaps of the lights, particularly the photo of the connectors would help.

Can You Please Clear This Part.

Is it necessary to connect it direct from battery, Cause I Need to put the switch after the key, Well with key off it will not lit, and u have to on the bike to lit it up.

BTW where did you get those lights from?
Here is the buying link. It from china to australia to Bangladesh :P
HOT 1X 30W Cree U2 Spot FOG Headlight Light Motorcycle CAR Waterproof Black | eBay

It would be better if you post some snaps of the lights
Well, it's as u are seeing. This set not include any ballast or switch with it. It has 3 functions. To switch between them, you have to disconnect and reconnect it within a short time. like a mouse click.

particularly the photo of the connectors would help.
It has no connector, Wires at the end. One White and Another is red. Open end wire.

Thanks for your replies.

Re: Led headlight kit

Thanks for your replies.

You're from Bangladesh? I'm close to you guys then.

Do you have any electrical skills? If you do, it would be a pieces of cake, just get a pieces of wire (any color, I said red for easier identification) and connect it to battery positive terminal.About having it turn on only when the key is on, connect the ground wire to ignition ground. That way when you cut the ignition the light would not turn on.

I know LEDs do not need a ballast, the driving circuit is inside the LED housing. You will have to buy shrink tubing and battery lug nut connectors separately I think, if you want to do a proper setup. Or you could just use duct tape, but it would not be waterproof.

EDIT: Does that light really have a U2 bin? I think U2 bin tops up at around 1040 lumen around 3200 mA.

Yess! I am from bangladesh
Yess! I know a light electronics. I can build amplifier and some stuffs like that.
Well the problem is that yet need time to figure out about motorcycle.
Umm about U2 bin, I am not sure, its not openable
So you are suggesting to connect the positive direct from battery including a fuse and a switch. well is there any difference if i connect it from an orange wire? clear it to me pls.

Hi,

Can you please check the below url

Is it ok for purchasing it for Honda Unicorn

Will there be any issues by using his hid light.

Crap! in a word, seriously using hid's in reflectors don't give very good usable output and 8000 K colour temp is almost useless, unless you ride on really well lit roads. Best you buy a decent projector and retrofit it, you'll be much happier!

8000k is useless in rain and fog. Apt color temp is 4000~4600k max. 8000 will be bluish light.
