LED Daytime Running Lights coupling

Hello

Where do I take the power to my lights?
The cables which goes to the mudguard lamps are relatively thin,which would be another potential place to take power?

Have you thought about the DRLs available from TricLED? Wiring these up is easy.

Sent from my HTC M10.

Hello

The lights have already been installed, only the wiring is missing.

I have to do these things myself therefore why from Finland it is not possible to bye accessoryes to Spyder and if I order parts from USA it comes also freight and it is expensive, and in addition I have to pay customs when the part comes to Finland.
From EU area have not to pay customs.

Maybe has something to do with the power draw of your light. If low power led, fender light wire may be ok. If more power, you could look at the socket in the frunk- which model do you have?

If the lights are LED the voltage is low and the wires to your mud guards should work fine. As mentioned you can also run the wires up to the fuse panel to a switched fuse....

Hello

Whether anyone has a picture that which wire it may be?Electrical circuit could help also.

Hello

I found a input terminal for daytime running lights power intake.There is a extra connector near headlight housing.
I did not have appropriate connector so I solder the cables and with the old fashioned way taping the wires.

I'm running my Bumpskid's LEDs with power borrowed from the fender marker lights.

your lights cannot be powered off fender lights as you need more power than what your fender lights can provide.
I had Auxiliary LED lights on my 2015 RT.I installed an auxilliary fuse block and wired the fuse block directly from the battery.I wired my LED lights on the keyed side of the fuse block .
I wired all of my accessiory lights and other accessories through the auxilliary fuse block.that way if I have electrical problems with accessory lights I have then isolated from spyder s electrical system
I hope this helps.

Hello

Lights installation is complete, just the same thing I thought of what Marker wrote, precisely because i'm looking for thicker wires.
I have not yet to be investigated which fuse affect to the mentioned connector (see a few answers upward ).
