I want to change my stock headlight out on my 06 night train. If i remember correctly, there is a mess laod of wires in the housing of the heradlight. What happens to all of these wires when you change to an aftermarket light. Ill be geting a longer headlight, maybe a 5 3/4" x 7-9" powder coated balck of course.

Anyone have pictures of this transformation that they have performed on theirs of a tutorial I can look at for my own reference?

thanks

someones gotta have some pictures of this install. . . . .

 

Cant imagine its more then the pos, neg, and ground bro just do it already.

 

in my sporster headlight there was a birdnest of wires from the factory. Does my night train have this, if so, what do I do with all those "other" wires. thats my question

sick bike man

 

If you're just changing out the housing for the light, then you'll just put all those wires into the new housing and plug the new bulb in. There shouldn't be anything more to do. It's not like you're going to cut out the wires and toss them away. I just changed my headlight to the new LED bulb and it was just plug and play. The only wire I found in there was the one to the bulb. I'm guessing you're making this sound a lot harder than it really will be. Just go for it already!

 

Lick 'em and stick 'em

 

When i got rid of the stock light for the nacelle it was only a few wires bro all i did was solder them and heat shrink and ta da bro.

 

For the Night Train just unplug the old light add the necessary pins to the wires on the new light and either reuse the old plug or buy a new one and plug it in. They don't have a wiring harness in the headlight like some bikes. At least my 09 didn't. I put a FatBob headlight on the Train and it was just plug and play. The mount was a different story.

 

Fantasic! plug n play sounds good. Hope its that way in mine. I was just asking cuz my sporster was a nightmare, and I left it alone.
thanks guys

 

Your headlight should have 4 wires coming from it. 2 yellow a black and a white. I dont have the answer to your question however I am also looking to switch out my headlight for the same one your looking at. That light only comes with 2 wires, 1 red and 1 yellow. I would think the red is hot and the yellow is the ground so hook them up to the factory black and white. What do you do with the 2 factory yellow wires that are left over??? Hopefully someone can answer our question.
