Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 - LED Tail Light and Turn Signals - Detailed Wiring - How to

[@TECBikeParts]

Hi good job, I checked out loads of lights and that was the only lamp I could find that worked on the rear as well. Nice to see you did not hack the wiring up. The only issue you may want to check is the rear indicators may not far enough apart. There is a legal minimum width separation requirement in UK . Not sure what yours are but worth checking before you get a pull over from the boys in blue.

[@DormanDiaries]

TEC Bike Parts Hi, thanks for the heads up. I ended up changing them almost immediately but mainly because I wasn’t happy with the look. I did wonder if they were a bit close to the centre line though but didn’t know there was a legal limit. I’ve got another vid about to upload but thought that one had useful info for folks. PS I’ll be ordering some of your headlight brackets soon! Contemplating the risers too!

I Know that baak motocycle has a plug and play rear light on their shop now, with all cables ready to plug in

Top job that mate, well done. Is there not minimum separation distances for front and rear indicators?

[@andrewhannam.]

Nice to see someone make a proper factory style quick connector, well done. Are the factory marker lights chromed plastic or metal? Cheers.

[@DormanDiaries]

If anyone is interested in black handlebars for the interceptor, Hitchcocks motorcycles in the UK have a matte black set of bars that are the same dimensions as the originals but they are made in England and they don't have the brace. For those who want the same feel but different look. They are lighter than the originals as well.

[@qufkr5]

Awesome bro

[@ChrisKonings]

Hey Dorman, this might be a stupid question but what was the white male socket you inserted the tail light wires in to in order to fit with the interceptor female socket? I'm trying to put this same light on my bike but it's my first time so it's all a steep learning curve for me...

[@ChrisKonings]

Never mind, managed to find the right socket

[@richardjones3112]

Nice video.

[@Yippeedee]

Thanks for the video. I just bought the continental GT and I'm glad I came across your video. Is there anything else that I may require other than the tail light and connectors? From your video it looks like you are using the stock brackets and housing.

[@DormanDiaries]

Hi Desmond, Thank you. The first time around I used the stock bracket, I then decided to ditch it and re do it and I moved the indicators and made a smaller bracket for the number plate

[@_JimS]

Nice job!! I love the turn signals, great idea. How much weight do you think you saved? When I get an Interceptor I'm going to weigh all my replacement/accessories to get an overall weight savings. Weight is weight.

[@DormanDiaries]

Thanks. Overall so far will be a bit lighter but I’ve added some back as well. With rack and such.

[@noushalmohamed937]

Thanks for the idea....

[@fabianoH5N1]

friend of mine used such a led flasher relay also , but he told me the wirering was wrong so he had to cut open the connector and put them on the other way around

Hi mate. Sorry to be a pain. I just want to be sure. What are the name of the female terminals you used to recycle the indicator plugs ? Cheers

[@camefromthemoon2062]

Hello, great video, quick question. I understand changing the relay corrects the load on the indicators. Do you also have to fit a separate resister if using an LED brake like aswell?

[@DormanDiaries]

Hello, thanks for commenting. Mine is an led taillight and not needed to change any relay for that. Never had to on other bikes either. Hope this helps.

[@THB-Trades]

Woke, good work bro. Thank u

[@ianwebb3076]

Love the mods and your expertise with the rewiring. Very professional. However, I do have one question. Being as the new LED Tail Light is shallower that the original Tail Light, does the clear light lens of the new LED light illuminate the Number Plate sufficiently? If not would you recommend a different Bracket that is not so far from the Rear Light housing? To me it looks like the original Bracket is too far away from the new LED Light to illuminate the Number Plate sufficiently. More than happy to be proven wrong though. The reason I ask is that I am contemplating a similar setup using the same LED Tail Light. Many thanks.

[@DormanDiaries]

Sorry I didnt catch what you said about the flasher, did it come with the lights or did you say you took it from another bike? Where would you get one and which one is the correct one?

Hi Greg, The relay is like the one in the listing below. If you match the terminals and numbers to one locally (assuming you’re not in UK) you shouldn’t go far wrong.

how do I remove the white and black switch in the rear tail light, I'm trying to remove the fenders and the wires run through the fender and I'm having trouble removing the switch Edit : Yep figured it out after a gruelling 4 hours struggle, had been pressing the internal connector that locks it in place from the top but actually it opens up when pushed from the bottom through the gap to lift the other piece to let it slip though. Thank you 💯

A fine pointy object to release the internal tabs in the plastic connector you will only have the metal connectors then that will slip through

Is it the same height and length as the original?

@@DormanDiaries I watched your video after fitting mine and was happy everything worked but in the daylight my mates say they can barely see the indicators and my stop light is shit. Would a capacitor increase the voltage and hence brightness ? Cheers for replying btw

[@DormanDiaries]

@@petethomas4885 is your stop light the same as mine? I’m sure mines pretty bright not had any complaints. If you do anything to juice up the indicators you’ll just burn them out. Would either need to get bigger ones ie more surface area or pricey ones with Gucci LEDs like the moto gadgets. Or maybe something standard from another bike like off a triumph or something. I’m sticking with my hand signals for now in a busy area. Even a lot of modern car indicators are hard to see in the daylight so careless cagers need you to make it very obvious for them.
