When wiring two of these on my motorcycle, do you recommend using a relay? Should I switch these or can I go in line with the low beam?

Personally I wired them to a switch that I mounted on my fairing and I put a fuse on the line. I was going to wire them into my low beams but seeing how bright they were, I only use them when there is no oncoming traffic, I was getting flashed ALOT by other cars. So having the ability to control when they were on and when they were off was a plus.

No need for a relay, they don't draw that much power. Do not use them on the road, they are painfully blinding to others, a driver could lose control and hit you.

Always better to play it safe. Run two seperate legs, you dont want to have all lights out because of a blown fuse. A little more hassal ,but worth it. I know this from expirience.

it is always better to connect any AUX lighting to a relay. With that said if you use a HD switch able to work with 20+ amps that would work too. Remember to use fuses to protect against fire. Always fuse from the source of power (ie your battery)

Like David Ishmael said, wire them in parallel. I have two of these connected to one light and it works as expected. Be prepared for a bit of work to get these in and looking good. I think the time and effort was worth it.

Hi Jake, you will need the wiring kit which contains the relay, the horn voltage is too much for the horn switch and you must use the relay, its not much, about 12 bucks,iirc.

Russell, You can hook-up a switch to the lights. Mine when on my motorcycle and are connected to my running lights. When those go on the LEDs go on.

Yes, I used a relay for that reason. A great deal of power goes through the switch. I used a kit from International Auto Parts for old Alfa Romeo and Fiat Spiders so I am not a good person to ask for the best choice of relays and wiring unless you own one of those.

I wired the lights into my existing high low beam switch . I tapped into the high beam at the connector at the headlight. So the lights go on and off with my high beam. You could add a seperate switch , but they did not come with one . An inline fuse holder is included .

Yes. I read somewhere where it will show somekind of code error if you dont use. I got tha relay harness and installed it and couldnt get but one high beam to come on and no low beam. Took it back off until i have time to fool with it. I think tha problem is me tho.

The Dually light pair comes as a kit with wiring harness, a fuse holder and switch. All needed connectors are installed, ready for installation. Because of the low current draw (slightly over 1 Amp each) I didn't see the need for a relay and have had these installed on a motorcycle for about 5 months, through all kinds of weather and they have performed perfectly. The link below is a catalog page for the different part numbers and what is included with each. http://www.rigidindustries.com/sites/default/files/catalog/28.pdf

Yes that's how I had mine setup. Just run the relay control wire to one of the hi beam wires.

Wiring them wasn't too bad. I did straight wired them though. Also, one thing for sure. You will loose high beams with this light.

Check the wattage of your old bulbs vs these bulbs. I would guess that your other ones pull more current and won't set off the flasher relay. I mine flashed too fast o. My triumph so I bought a solid state flasher relay and that cured it. Hope this helped

This is a good all around switch. I've used it on a motorcycle. I'm not sure of your application, but the switch has functioned well for me with no problems. I use a relay on the run circuit,

id have to know how you have them wired wat u have them wired up my recommendations hard wire with a switch or splice with factory wiring if you are using them as backup lights

Are you running the high / low wire together or are they connected to the high / low wires on your bikes light connection?

The bottom lights are only going to work when the brights are on as those are the brights. Top are the low beams. It would be very foolish to wire them to stay on, you'd have a lot of angry drivers and there would be nothing you can do about it.
