Member Jonathan Kay Posted July 7 Member Share Posted July 7 Thanks Have you checked the "side lights" fuse? Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O.G. Posted July 7 Author Share Posted July 7 Yes, first thing I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O.G. Posted July 8 Author Share Posted July 8 Right - finally been able to put a good bit of time in. This is what I found : While removing a sidelight holder from the old headlight bowl I had inadvertently caused an internal short. This of course blew the lights fuse. Unfortunately all the light fuse positions in my owners handbook are completely wrong (plus many others) so this lead me on a wild goose chase. Finally after finding the blown fuse and finding and fixing the short, I’ve been able to complete the change to LEDs. I now plan to create a CORRECT fuse and relay diagram and make it available. I do remember this was a thread a few years ago. Thanks for all those suggestions and especially Jonathan for your help! O.G. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris spencer Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 I don’t suppose anyone has now created instructions on how to get the cafe racer units functioning with DRL, indicators and normal light functions have they? I’m no electrical engineer and am struggling to work out what I need to do. Cheers, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what do you want the tail lights to do? Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris spencer Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Hi, thanks for the reply.. Ideally, I’d like the DRL to work on ignition and tail light function to remain unchanged. The lamps don’t have wiring for the side light, from what I can see and I wonder whether to. Make the indicator pod the side light as the new headlamp assembly has indicators… Am I going to have to wire the lamp back to the ignition switch to get the DRL functioning on ACC+, and pull the wire through from the small Indicator pod to get the LED indicator to work?

Thanks for the instructions. Yes, you're going to need a new wire from an ignition-switched feed (ACC+) to the DRLs if you want them switched separately from the existing side and tail lights. I'd be interested in how others do this... Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigCol Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 When I fitted my lights which have a sidelight/indicator halo, I simply added another feed for it and removed the standard indicator pods: I always turn my sidelights on when I drive so the halo is my DRL. I have contemplated “automating” the DRL with a simple relay circuit like this (but have not wired it up yet): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
