Wiring up some cheap aftermarket spotlight - wiring help.
Hey there guys!
‘22 Kawasaki Z400.
I live up a mountain and it’s pitch black with very few lights and retro reflectors, and the high beams on my Z400 don’t cut it.
I’ve picked up a pair of cheap 20w spotlights to bolt on - just wanted to ask for advice with the wiring. I’ve got an inline fuse, a toggle switch that mounts to the bars, and I was planning on just running it to the battery.
How’s the polarity work? I’m sure it matters the order I wire this up in, but I’m thinking it’s battery to the fuse (it’s got a 10A in there now, but I’ll swap it for a 2 or 3? 24/36w from the battery?), to the switch on the bars, to the light, then back to the negative thermal on the battery, with all the red wires being… upstream of all their respective parts and the black ones being downstream.
The electrical physics and wiring part of my physics class in high school was a *long* time ago.
Also, the switch has two on positions, for low beams and high beams - if I just connect both of them to the positive cable on the light, that’ll just mean I can flip it either way, I’m imagining.
Cheers for the help!
