Title: Passing/Auxiliary lamps install
Post by: apes on January 05, 2009, 12:25:20 PM
I picked up a pair of 35 watt auxiliary lamps ( part #68208 98A ) for my Ultra and when installing then I noticed that the old take offs have 2 wires one of which is a ground attached to the housing and the other goes to the power.  The new 35w lamps only have a single wire but they came with a kit ( 68208-98A-SUBA)that has an assortment of female plugs, 4 crimp type connectors, shrink tubing and a section of wire, the shop manual has no reference to this.  I don't recall needing to do anything different when I installed a similar on my Heritage kit years ago.    Where does the ground wire plug into on the new lights and what is the accessory kit for? Thanks for your help

Apes,
I think these are the lights with the rubber boot on the back of the lamp. Pull the rubber back a little around the center of the bulb and you should find the spade for the ground.

If not let me know and I will pull the instruction sheets.

Okay, I pulled the rubber where the single white wire exits the boot and there appears to be a spade that is more or less cast in to the lamp housing.  Since the ground wire on the bike already has a female end it appears that the accessory packet of tubing etc will now become an addition to the junk in my tool box. thanks for your help,
