Default Daymaker knock off.

Hey people, new here do hi and sorry if this has all-ready been addressed but I can’t find my answer anywhere. I got the amazon knock off daymaker and took out my old light but it has 2 extra wires and I’m not sure what they are for. I don’t wanna install the new light cause there is no where for the wires to plug into. If anyone know what’s going here here and if I need to plug them or cap them that would be sweet as cheers .

Is there an led ring around that headlight? That would explain two extra wires.

What make is it? Go back to Amazon and check if others have had the issue. Flip it over and take a pic for us. Most on first posts here go the Welcome area and introduce themselves. Welcome to the forums from Ontario, Canada

That HD light is for European STDs & might be required f/your area (you'll need to check). If not needed, by local DMV rules, then tuck the extra wires aside and hook-up the new light.

May want to post that in Mech/Tech area under lighting. Maybe post the Amazon link also in it. I've only had touring bikes, and used the Sunpie headlights.

The 2 extra wires as you call them are for the parking / standlight. If your knockoff have a halo-ring / angeleye you can connect them to that one or
else you wrap a bit of electrical tape around them en and leave it as is. I mounted plenty of these knockoff's so if you have any question you may
pm me.
