How to Install Motorcycle Running Lights?

First, locate a suitable position to fix the running lights. If no suitable spot is available, you will need to drill holes yourself. After drilling and fixing, thread the wires through the drilled holes. Connect yellow to yellow, pink to pink, green to green-white, the red wire to the battery's positive wire, and the black wire is the voltage regulator wire. After connecting, use a multimeter to measure the voltage, checking the battery's positive and negative terminals. Use a 12V 20A0 battery to replace the original vehicle battery. This can extend the battery's working time and prolong the usage of the motorcycle's electrical equipment, lighting, and electric start system.
Last time I modified my motorcycle with flowing LED lights, I summarized some experience. First, choose waterproof LED light strips and measure the length according to the frame, leaving an extra 20% margin. Prepare tools like wire strippers, heat shrink tubing, electrical tape, and 3M double-sided tape. Remove the side panel of the seat to locate the turn signal wires—brown is usually the positive. Use wire strippers to expose 1cm of wire, twist the ends with the LED controller wires, then reinforce with solder and seal tightly with heat shrink tubing. Secure the light strips along the frame using 3M tape, and add zip ties to key areas for vibration resistance. Test the turn signal function after connecting power, and adjust the flow speed and brightness modes. Finally, when reassembling the body, leave gaps for the light strips. The whole process takes about 3 hours. Beginners are advised to disconnect the battery's negative terminal to avoid short-circuit risks.
