Is this circuit going to work?

[21QUEST]

I know nothing about wiring but to be frank I'm with Lozzo with regards to the utter ****e that are after market HIDs when fitted to standard reflectors.

Can anyone actually remember when last they saw an aftermarket HID fitted to standard reflectors that weren't doing a good job of dazzling other road users. I personally haven't seen one(car or bike) that hadn't done a good job of being very annoying. Until I see one, I'd continue to hate the things......lol

Funny thing is, I actually did once think of 'upgrading' the lighting system on the SV to one of them fings //shudders//

Perfect beam pattern. No delay between dipped and main beam. No scatter.

You aren't using a standard headlight with aftermarket HID units fitted, so your contribution to this discussion isn't at all relevant

It shuts up your "all aftermarket hid's are the DEVIL!!" argument though

which wasn't at all relevant to wiring diagrams by the way

Boom! McLovin in the house! That's how to take down a mother f****r

What part of the words "with a standard reflector" that I've used consistently throughout this discussion don't you understand? I know there's a small language difference between civilisation and north of the border, but surely that one small phrase can't be that hard to interpret?

Standard reflector = as fitted at factory

Aftermarket unit = NOT as fitted at factory

Pretty sure you're missing his point there lozzo, nothing you've contributed to this thread is relevent to the wiring quiery I initially raised. You've come into this thread and made very clear your stance on the use of aftermarket HID kits while fitted to stock reflectors despite that been about as far from relevent to the OP as you can get. Not only that you've then ignored pretty much everyones responce to the contrary of your own opinion instead choosing to aim schnide comments in the direction of those who may otherwise have something to offer.
Your negative attitude and headdown ranting is boring me now, there are people in this thread willing to contribute relevent and apprechiated information - you're not one. I'll welcome any PM you have with further pursuaive information regarding the use of aftermarket HID kits but within this thread it is not apprechiated.

Obviously you can get them more complicated but essentially they work the same.
I'd run most things through a relay tbh cos they handle loads better and last a long time if sized correctly.

If Im understanding this somewhat then a relay is simply a gate or flow control operated electronically.

Question then:
Could power still be provided from the battery but taken through a relay which is powered by the ignition?

Im assuming that the current ignition cable will not be suitable to carry the feed for all devices so wouldnt want to hi-jack it in the forward loom.
So is it possible to run a new live cable from the battery to the fuse box as shown previously but have a fuse and relay (powered from the ignition) on this length?

In reference to my previous post, are both these circuits above viable? or will the relay only work in line of the power source its controlling?

[DarrenSV650S]

Both will work, but there isn't really any need to take a neutral back to the battery from the relay. Best thing to do is find the cable for something unimportant like the numberplate light and just put the relay in line with that.

Just read this:

Found it using your links andrewsmith, cheers buddy having read that it does seem very simple.
Provided I use a relay which is: Normally open, and capable of the flow as per the correct guage conduit then I should be fine. Happy days.
