Title: new headlight wiring placement
Post by: Ironheadmike on January 26, 2022, 09:03:42 AM
I'm installing a aftermarket headlight . Where do I reroute all the wires and plugs that are in the original headlight? BTW it's a 92 883 .

When I replaced the OEM headlight on my 1993 XL, I re-routed, well re-wired, most everything up-front and used two 15-pin connectors side-by-side that fit in the tank channel under the frame - there are no other connectors in front of those two 15-pin connectors.
It was a bit of a tricky job to ensure the lengths of the wires were correct before crimping on the pins and not being a professional wire-crimper or solder didn't help, but the outcome has worked well over the years.

Thank you . I was thinking of running down to where the ignition mod was . I didn't think they would fit where you put them . Again Thanks a ton .
