Ok - fancy putting some chrome fog lights on the crash bars on the K. As its an old Police bike it has spare switches and would be nice to route into one of these as opposed to the one that comes with the lights.

Question - does anyone have a wiring diagram on how they would be wired into the oem switches (haven't taken the covers off to see what is behind)

Below is the wiring diagram for the fog lights for ref

What wires you use depends upon what you want to accomplish.

Do you:

a) Want the fog lights to work with the high or low beam only?

b) Want the FLs to be on whenever either headlight is on?

c) Want an "extra" switch to turn them on and off?

Describe exactly how you want them to work and then we can help you.

What is the wattage of the lamps, do they need a power relay to prevent burning out the stock dash switch.
