Deserves a million likes because this is the most simplistic straight to the point no crazy jazz lights and pyrotechnics and the guy showing his face a million times so everybody sees who he is absolutely love this video!! Just what I was looking for

[@WilliamsburgNY628]

Had my china daymaker projector led in my closet for sometime and sooo happy with this video and also some questions from your viewers is a big help. Now to search for the next video on installing and wiring the 4.5" fog lights that came with it.

Great tip, didn't want to cut the original connection to my bikes standard led headlight DTR, this is a perfect solution, cheers my man.

Thank you Sir! I bought a chinesium led w/ halo kit...great price...no instructions. You saved the day!

[@milmex317th]

[@ronerie]

Hahaha, looks like a remake of this might be in order, and include answers to all the questions you got on this one. I have been doing electrical wiring my entire life just about, and always amazes me how many people just know very little to nothing about electrical wiring. They really should include it in a ahort course in high school. Basic practical electrical circuitry for the D.I.Y. er. Those that know, should teach those that dont, like you just did here. Thanks for sharing !

[@ronerie]

Dont care about negative comments on your vid., they should all be positive because you got to the point about what and where to make the connection, and stated several times how to make it any way you like. Just make it here. I too got a Chiwan, ebay light with NO wiring diagram and did not want to use my new light to check my fuses ! Thanks. Job well done !😊

So I wanna do the same thing you did with the white plug in wire than wrap it on low beam. I know nothing about wiring so what gauge wire do I need or is that any special type of wire I need? What is that white wire you are using for the male prong tab that slides into the female? I have the prong tabs and heat shrink tube already just not the wire yet cuz idk what im looking for exactly. Thanks and great video!

[@JohnPageContraband]

you cant have the halo working for both the high and low beams using this method (unless you use the amber turn signal halo ring for one beam and the white halo for the other). you would have to run the halo to a switch to have it run with both high and low beams

[@baloo217]

Hi , nice video, just what i need it, thanks, i have one question, the cable gor the amber , should i put it with the positive of the turn signal? So that way it blinks amber when when i use the tern signals?

How would this work if your bike has a drl circuit? Or would you lose the drl switch by adding it do the low beam circuit? thanks!

[@fredrickg5697]

When you wrap the wire around the low beam prong and plug it in would that cause a safety concern? I’m not an electrician but was wondering if a live wire laying against the plastic plug would cause it to melt?

[@JohnPageContraband]

Negative. It doesn't get hot at all.

[@paison3150]

I have an 08 Electra glide, no DRL. Id prefer ONLY the halo light/ring for my low beam, but for the light to function properly with high beam. Can this be done?

John hello. what about the just day light on. In normaly my bike has mini day light bulb. it is allways on when my bike is working. Mini 12v bulb. If i turn on low beam or high beam, it s still on(mini 12v bulb) i connected this 7 inch head light h4 everthing is perfect but just day time light is not working. 2 wires (yellow light and white light day time light) i connected white color option to my bike + but there is no - polar cable for day time light.

[@bishoymeawad2320]

How to run the white halo with low and high beam? Can I just wrap the same wire coming from the halo to the high and to the low at the same time?

im not positive but i believe doing so would link your high and low beams together taking away the option to run just the low beam. i could be wrong though.

They usually use thing gauge wire for this 22ga should work best. You can actually cut that spade connector off and use either solder or butt connectors.

[@Mccann1972]

Thanks for the video it helped out. Do you know how to make the amber light blink with my blinkers on my Harley. What wire to what. Thanks

[@JohnPageContraband]

theres 3 wires going to your parking lights. ones a ground, ones for the parking light and the third controls the blinking function. you'll want to tap your yellow wire into that wire which controls the blinker. that will switch the halo from solid white to a flashing amber while your blinker is on.

With the white halo working and the other wire for signal light hooked up, will the amber light come on when using turn signal while white halo on at the same time? Can they be sequential I’m asking?

[@JohnPageContraband]

It depends on the light. Most that ive seen the white halo goes out while the amber one is flashing but I have seen others where the white stays lit the whole time.

I have a set of these but customized em as fog lights but just noticed the holes I used were the breathing/vent holes, will it damage my lights if I don't have a vent??

You should be fine. The vents are only opened in the case that moisture builds up inside the light. Many of the cheaper ones don't even come with vents.

I’m wondering the same thing

[@rubensahak9178]

He explained it there are two wires usually green and orange and you tap each one to low beam to see what color they are.My guess green white orange amber. Insead of low beam you can make connection to your bike's running lights wires.I like the low beam for easy option.

[@JaimeMaldonado]

[@denzelthebright3725]

Hey, I have this exact light! Thanks for all the info! Any tips for the turning light?

[@JohnPageContraband]

Your bikes parking lights each have 3 wires. One is a ground, the second is for the parking light and the third wire controls the blinker function. You'll want to tap into that third wire.

[@denzelthebright3725]

@John Page Contraband thanks John! I got it working, but all of the lights are blinking, but it won't blink separately; any advice on this as well?

[@JohnPageContraband]

@@denzelthebright3725 What exactly are you trying to make happen?

[@denzelthebright3725]

@John Page Contraband I just would like my headlight to blink amber when I have my signals turning left or right. All of my blinkers currently all blink when I turn on one or the other. When I just connect one blinker the headlight blinks amber properly with that one but with both blinkers connected it seems to activate a hazard mode lol. I feel so close to completion! Thanks for the help brother

[@JohnPageContraband]

You're actually linking your turn signals together by tying them into the headlights amber halo like that. You would only be able to have the halo flash with either your right or left blinker, not both. The turn signal function is more for cars and trucks. If it's a motorcycle specific headlight, the amber halo will actually have two wires, each controlling one side of the halo.

[@gretchenwells7273]

So I was trying to install my new headlight and when I touched the white wire to the middle prong,low beam, nothing happened. When I tried the wire to the left,the high beam turned on, and I blew the fuse when touching the last. What could be the issue??

[@michaelromano4911]

The halo goes out when I put the high beam on

[@Lettemhearpodcast]

How did you get it to change from orange to white on the halo?

if your headlight has two wires for the halo ring, one will be for the white halo and the other wire lights up the orange halo

How do you connect the orange to be on when turn signals are used??

theres 3 wires going to each of your parking lights. ones the ground, ones for the constant parking light and the thirds for the flashing. you would run the yellow wire to either the flashing wire to make your halo flash or the constant parking light wire to make the halo a solid amber

[@Jason-lf3xl]

When you start the bike can you have just the halo come on then turn the lights on when you need them?

most headlights are tied into the ignition so you'd have to bypass that feature. you can install your own switches to control everything independently.

How do I get the amber halo to work

[@edwardvallejo4681]

good jobs my friend

[@dbcopper10]

So my question is...how do you utilize JUST the halo ring for daytime running? No low beam, only halo. Would that require a separate switch on the handlebar to manually turn on low beam for night riding?

[@JohnPageContraband]

you can run the halo ring independently using a switch but most bikes headlight powers on as soon as you fire it up. its also illegal to run without a headlight even during the day so you gota be careful. the more light the better.

[@neodjboy]

what happens to it when you switch to High Beam, mine tends to switch off the Halo..

I keep blowing fuses should I put a bigger one in since it's more power?

[@JohnPageContraband]

the amount of power that ring draws is miniscule so if the headlight itself aint blowing the fuse, i doubt the halo ring would push it over the edge but you never know. try the next size up and see what happens. if you blow that one theres something else going on.
