Bought a set of these and I have no clue what to do with the black and red wires that come out of the box, can someone instruct me on what to do?

I'm guessing your talking the two wires that are out of that little white box? If so that's for the less and halo ring, you can run them to a switch or tag them into the cornering lights.

If I remember correctly, I had the same issue. I used the existing ones, by removing the new ones from the assembly and attaching the rest to the old electrical plugs. Good luck.

These are a stright forward install to any single coil location , just drop it in. As for the wires , the two that are soldered together are to stay soldered together unless you want to do coil tapping. In that case you separate them and connect them to a on / off toggle. The white is hot and black is ground.

They have small plugs you can remove and use a pin type plug or you can usethe stripped wire method. I bought the pin adapters for my speaker wires.

Is it the one with the volume knob that's not working? (sorry, I don't have them in front of me). Have you ever replaced capacitors in them? That's what caused mine (and many, many other sets) to die very soon after purchase... but after replacing the bad capacitors they are working like new. Sorry, I don't know what you mean by re-doing the wires.

I do not know that answer, but I havebthe same issue. It's like they are on a "low" setting. I'm wondering if a resister is needed in line to eliminate that issue?

I had the same problem, still under warranty, and the company refused to fix them. Do not send them back to B&O (who wanted $50 to fix mine). Go to a local electronics repair shop. I did that and had them fixed for $5.

clip off the dc jack and strip the two wire and connect to transformer wires, which usually you have to connect the red to red, black to black vs on other types of low voltage it doesn't matter. Just be careful of the run length. That (nor in my experience with the supplier) I can't answer, but if its not a long run, shouldn't be a problem. Steve, electrical contractor, Atlanta, GA, just saw another answer from Robert, what he said!

Unforturnately, I cannot answer your question. You might try to contact the vendor selling them as there might be a code programmed in each pair. I would buy the two sets and if they didn't work with each other, return for a refund.

I hard wired mine. Put a junction box behind each. You can google wiring instructions if that's what you're gonna do.

It's simple. Comes with 2 wires exposed at the ends. Red and black. The red gets connected to the positive (power) and the black to (negative). If you wire them to a switch just add the in between the connections. There are multiple videos on YouTube how to do this. These are bright and worth the money

Hi Maxime, you may have the wires connected up wrong, I joined the two red wires together on plus, then black on minus leaving fine black, not connected see how that will work good luck Chris

On mine, red wire to + and Black wire to - you can try yours either way until it lights up. They only light up when hooked up correctly.

I assume you put 110 v plugs actually ON the wires before plugging them in. Make sure you did all white to silver and black to gold on each install. Could be a polarity issue.

If you ever hooked up speakers wires before then you can do this. The connectors are color coded red,black right and left this is easy to do.
