BlackandYellowBanshee Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 I’m getting my build finished up this weekend and wiring my light is one of the tasks that I have left. Iv got a new harness and want to make sure that I have this part right before I go cutting into it. To begin with, I have done the DC conversion to a stock stator. The bar is a Rigid 10 inch light bar. The light itself came with a ridiculously long wiring harness with a switch, fuse, and relay. I am going to cut the switch and relay off and splice the fuse in with the red and black wires that go into the light to reduce all the clutter. I want to use my handlebar switch to turn the light on and off. Can I hook the ground from the light to the black wire from the stock harness and then my red wire to either the green or yellow wire? The bar I have doesn’t have high or low beams. I just need a 12v source when I switch the light. I am assuming if I tap into the green wire (low beam) I will still receive the 12v needed. Last question... on my dc conversion. Is it necessary to ground the black wire near the tail light. I did anyway because I assume that is the grounding point for the black wires in the light system. These questions might sound elementary, but making sure I’m only doing this once the right way and not left with an electrical rats nest.

YES, Both yellow and green provide will provide 12v Last question... on my dc conversion. Is it necessary to ground the black wire near the tail light.

Yes, The whole point of floating the ground on the stator is so that you can use the frame as the neg(-) for the DC system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
