SV650s curvy Halo headlamp, DRL?
Hi folks,
I want to fit a halo style headlamp and have the 'halo/ring' light on by default. The halo headlamps on eBay all seem to have the usual 3-pin connector (high beam, low beam, negative) and then a separate wire for the DRL (daytime running light), which is the 'halo' ring light that I want on all the time. Without spending too much time pulling my racer's fairing off, I can't remember if the 'S' has a daytime running light connection. I seem to remember there's a small light/lens in the middle of the original fairing, but is there actually a light behind it? I've looked at a couple of wiring diagrams online, but none seem to show a connection for a DRL Anyone know if there IS a sneaky DRL connection hiding away in there somewhere? |

Found the original faring and answered my own questions
yes there is a DLR... As evidenced by looking at my switchgear too... (facepalm!) |

That will be the sidelight wire right?

Re: SV650s curvy Halo headlamp, DRL?
Not sure?
Without investigating further, I assume the 3-pin from the Halo goes to (one of) the 3-pin headlamp connections (I only have one now that I’ve switched to one headlamp) and the ‘DLR’ wire from the halo light goes to the wire that would have connected to the small light the sits centrally above the twin headlamp in the stock SV’s fairing? Then, I guess the ‘sidelamp’ setting on the switchgear will trigger the halo light All guesswork until I can investigate further. But for £30, it’s worth a punt Last edited by stinkerbill; 16-10-18 at 05:55 PM. |
