I just saw several posts regarding passing lamps installation on the RKS, and let me tell you, it isn’t so straight forward as I was led to believe when I ventured in this mod. Unlike the standard RK which is prewired from the factory with passing lamps, the RKS is not, there are several pieces of hardware and electrical wires, connectors, and a couple of switches that need to be installed, not to mentioned, the amount of wiring, splicing, and soldering that I had to do to complete this add-on mod.

My passing lamps are EBay specials and it possible that it could be mechanically different from the OEM and the extra hardware that I had to improvised may differ and not applicable from OEM installation. I also discovered The OEM studs were too short to accommodate the passing lamps and Windsplitter windshield so I ended up, procuring longer studs from Home Depot and cutting to exact length specs. I also had to search and add the exact hard plastic spacers that go in between the passing lamps and OEM acorn nuts so that the Windsplitter windshield will altogether fit with the new passing lamps. It wasn’t easy but if you have average mechanical skills lie me and aren’t afraid to experience trial and error, you can do it.

So, with most of the mechanical parts and pieces out of the way, the second part of this mod is what I hated most since it involves a lot splicing, wiring, and soldering. Crimping connectors are also are also recommended, but I prefer to solder to resist future electrical issues. With regard to the electrical switches, I found the standard home depot switches are rock solid and can withstand most environmental elements.

To find the best source of power for the mod, I decided to tap into the P&A accessory circuit as this line provides up to 20amps for DC current as these LEDs draw current 1.5 amps for both passing lamps. Since I had the entire headlamp nacelle opened, I also decided to add heated grips and oil cooler fan kit and tapped power source to the P&An accessory circuit. With regard to the passing lamps electrical wiring, I had to manually run wires from both lamps and turn signals all the way back to the headlight nacelle. As you can see this form the attach photos, I used various types of wire shielding and shrink tubing to protect the wires from chaffing.

Finally, I would highly recommend procuring the factory service manual when doing this mod most especially the electrical schematics provided invaluable information and reference. Anyone can really do this mod but due to several mechanical and electrical complexities required based on my average skill sets, it took me a fairly long amount of time to complete as I still had to attend to the day time job…lol

I have posted here some close up pictures of the entire mod to give some perspective.

Hopefully between that and DC2009EGUC wiring info I can make this happen.
Thank you
