worklights on 4510

[ktm250rider]

I found a loose or spare wire with a bullet connector on mine that was hot with the switch on. I think it may be for an accessory of some sort. Or it could be the worklight circut. I cant tell from any of the wireing diragrams I have. It was right behind my fuse panel when I took the shroud off to run my wiring. I used that to run to my switched relay connection.

I followed kennyds' wiring. I dont have lights or my switch yet but I do have power to my wire going to my switch location with the ignition on and no power with it off. So I believe it will work. The diagram you have looks like that will allow power to the lights with the ignition off. I could be wrong though.

BB,
Using the diagram at the link you posted will not give seperate control of the front and rear lights.

So, from the #87 lug, go to at least a 10 amp rated switch with #14 wire, then to a pair of lights. Do the same for the other pair.

I wrote " Pin 87 = To light switch on fender" , I assumed you would know to go from the switch to the lights, sorry for confusing you.


P.S. I think you owe KTM250 a six-pack for hi-jacking his thread!

OK guys, the sun is setting earlier and earlier every day, I have [3] 55w driving lights on the shelf in my shop, you are really motivating me to get this done on mine, as well.

Kenny, I am thinking about using an automotive circuit breaker instead of a standard fuse, they come in all sizes.

Mounting them cleanly on the rops is more my concern. I've got to make some decent looking brackets. Anyone seen any good pics for rops mounted brackets???

[no hijack intended]

Yeah, mounting is the next step for me as well. Actually, that and buying the lights too. I was thinking of using a piece of angle iron welded or mounted with u-bolts to the ROPS. Eithor way, the lights will be mounted to the underside of the top cross bar.

Ill get pics of my wireing. I just need to figure out how to get them small enough to fit on here.

No hijack yet. We are still talking about worklights. However, Ill still take a sixer of Killians please, and thankyou.

SW, I used a circuit breaker, they are cool to use...


Mounting cleanly IS a problem, and I am a stickler for fit/finish details...That is why I decided to drill the wholes in my ROPS, because I could not get the "clean" looks any other way.

I am not trying to convince either of you the drilling is the answer for you, but it was for me. There is plenty of discussion here about drilling/welding the ROPS, most will say NOT to do it. But I stand behind my decision.

Take a look at this from MicroSoft, It works pretty well and is very simple to use.

Also, Have you seen THIS great thread on pic posting?

 

[ktm250rider]

Ill check those out in a bit. Just got back from the dealer. They didnt have a switch that would fit without ordering one. Didnt want to try a $22 part out of the blue. I would imagine that any of the auxillary switches that control the loadmatch or motionmatch would work. Any ideas?

KTM,

Check out THIS post, it's got pics and a part # for some cool switches you can order from JD. You can still get all the other work done while your waiting for them.
