Default Help With Daymaker Auxilary Light Wiring

I thought I followed the directions, but I have the aux lights installed and they do not come on. The turn signals work just fine. I also installed the headlight and it is working fine.
The aux switch lights up when turned on but no lights.

What do I need to do with the ground wire in the new lamp housing? Nothing in the directions.



Is this the correct connector for the LED lights? It is what came in the box. Also above photo black connector in middle of aux housing and below photo of LED connection.




Where does the gray with black stripe power wire for the aux lights connect to? I currently have it plugged into the aux light plug number 4 position.



Thanks for the help

Is your headlight on low bean? Unless you jumped out the aux. lights or installed the special connector the aux. lights are factory set to come on only when the headlight is on low beam. Also I believe these lights have to have the +ve / -ve on the right terminals. Take a meter and figure out what is +ve & what is -ve. You could try switching them around and see if this fixes your problem.

The aux lights do not come on with the headlight in low or high beam.

With those lights, I believe you need this wiring adapter: http://www.kuryakyn.com/products/472...-lamp-adapters

At the spot light switch the yellow wire is powered by the low beam, and will turn off when switched to high beam. Check the grey/black wire for power in the passing light housing with a test light. Also did the a connector come with the bulbs to connect to the back of the bulb, I believe there should be a short wire to connect the ground wire and power wire to the back of the light

Question for you did you install the spot light switch? I just installed the passing lamps on my 2013 Street Glide and had to add the spot switch, it installs easy and plugs right into the harness connector. I picked it up from Harley it was about $40

The ground from the Aux lights is to be spliced with the ground for the turn signals, the turn signal has 3 wires, the Aux lights add 2. You hook up the 4 wires as per instructions, 1,2,3,4 and 1,2,3 are turn signal 4 (grey/black) is Aux power, you now have a 5th wire , that's the Aux ground; then you cut the ground wire for the turn signal and splice the ground wires on the light side at 3, those go 2 into 1 on the bike side. Make sense?

Your wiring in the light is different than what my Daymaker Refflectors came with. You might have to extend that wire. Plus, the wiring requirements are different when you have chrome vs black. The write up I just gave you was for Black finish, but maybe it will help you pinpoint the problem.

Make sure the connectors on on the correct post of the light. Switch them around and see if that works.

It's hard to tell from image 1, but is there only one wire going to the black plug? One wire cannot make a circuit.
