Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums Accessories triumph light bar wiring

Just won a light bar off ebay and wouldn't ya know it, there's no directions for wiring the thing up. I'm not sure if a new bar comes with connectors or if you have to splice wires. Could use some help, I have 2 blue/white wires that feed from each light. There's 2 black wires which are grounds. There'a one red coming off the switch which i'm assuming is a hot wire and the mystery wire is the brown coming off the the side off the switch. If anyone has directions and can somehow scan them and send them to me or can give me a few pointers, I'd appreciate it.

Kerby,
Any on/off switch will have two wires. One of the wires (red) needs to connect to accessory power supply. Connect red to a wire that gets power when you turn your key on.
The other switch wire (brown) provides power to the lights, connect brown to the two blue/white wires.
As you stated the black wires are ground. Connect to any existing ground wire, or find a good ground point on the bike.

Test this before soldering or crimping connectors. I recommend soldering.

If I had a wiring diagram for the light bar I would send you a copy.

I hope this helps. Let me know, Mark (caseml)

Thanks Mark, That's what I had in mind also. Probably won't get to it until tommorrow night. Kids had soccer practice tonight. I was a little confused because the person who removed it just snipped all the wires. I'll let you know how it goes.
Thanks, Kerby

Mark, I just figured out who I bought this light bar off of. I'm a little slow sometimes, never would make it on C.S.I. Might throw a few more questions at ya later. I'll leave some good feedback for you.
