i just got a acerbis diamond headlight with the 3 bulbs for my GF's bike so she can rock her streetfighter, but i need to know how to wire it up. she has the switch control on the clutch side clipon and the wiring harness to go to the stock headlights, so if anyone knows how to get this going please let me know or send a link to a wiring harness


i tried for a lil bit but the ADD kicked in and a fat kids gota eat thanks guys!

I have never wired one up, but from previous work experience this is what I would do....

If the switch is still intact and the stock headlight wiring harness is also still on the bike, just connect the low beam stock wiring leads to the low beam wires on the acerbis and do the same for the highbeam. Then the light will work as if it was stock with the switch.

i tried that and it didnt work thats why i posted up this Q

Im currently having the same problem, ive tried connecting the wires in almost every combination possible...no luck, i did melt a few fuses though, that might be my problem. If you ever figure this **** out hit me a pm man!

me and the guys keep our lights off and we only use them to flash and let eachother know when to go or where were at. I wired mine to my horn button I know this dont help u matt but i thought it was funny

1-the acerbis headlight has 6 wires....correct. take 3 (one from each bulb) and that's your ground. take the other 3 and clamp together. so 6 wires turn into just 2 connections.

2- on the stock headlight harness. find the highbeam power wire. the one that supplies 12v when the highbeam switch is "on" and nothing when the switch is "off". now find the ground wire and connect the acrebis ground to the harness ground.

3- test the acrebis headlihgt. you should be able to control when the headlight is on/off. so say your at the spot and you don't want the light attracting attention you flip the highbeam switch and it's off??? does that make sense.
you're not going to blind anyone on the streets either. the highbeam on the acrebis is not that powerfull.

hope that helps

ya ima go try that thanks, thats how i got my bike headlight set up so i can just turn it on and off with the switch

I had to install a diode so the 2 bottom lights are on lowbeam and then all three on for high. The diode just acts as a 1 way switch to keep only the 2 bottom lights on low beam. If you want I can draw the diagram and scan it.

that woud be great bro thanks

that sounds like the best solution. mine's got 2 lights, so 4 wires i'm assuming. glad someone explained it so i could understand it.

Here's the wiring diagram..you should be able to get diodes at any electrical shop, just tell them what you are doing and they should be able to pick the right one. Current only flows one way through so you have to make sure you have them in the right direction.

it's kinda small man. where's the ray charles picture.

so if i wanted to do something like this to my stock headlight where only the highbeam works and the lowbeam is off would i be wiring it the same way?

I am running the diamond on my 97 f3 fighter!!! My wiring is exactly as stated above , 2 connections to stock headlight plug ,control on/off with H/L switch!! looks awesome ,works great!!

Cesario

for some reason on the highbeam side i couldn't get it to work (i got 4 wires made into 2 on my blitz) i got it to work on the lowbeam side, but they're on all the time.

your hot wire is the low beam you wired it up backwards

find the other positive lead and connect that to the wires you crimped together that go to the bulbs.
