Aftermarket LED lighting

Hi guys,

I got a 2011 limited used that a PO installed aftermarket LED lights. But for some reason they come on by them selfs and drain the battery. both times the bike is in the garage and I am wondering if a Neighbors garage door opener is causing the lights go come on .

Is this ever possible ?

I have no clue on the manufacture of the lights and the remote I got with the bike looks like a universal remote with 4 buttons on it ( A,B,C and D )

Any of you guys run into this problem ?

Just change the power supply to a switched source. You're not one of those guys who leaves his lights on while he's in the bar, are you?

I'd never go to the trouble of installing lights, but my bike came with them and they were actually done quite well. I run them only while riding at night for extra visibility... As if my other lighting isn't already quite bright.

Most of those remotes suck. Follow the wiring from the battery, eliminate the receiver and just wire in a push on/off switch

The Leds have multiple colors, fade and flash patterns that can be controled by buttons A,C and D. it seems that button B only controls on and off.

Looks like a Joe Florida setup, like I have.

download the app, and you can link to the light controller and set the lights up the way you want.

if they are coming on on their own, you’ve got one of the wires touching a ground.
