    Question Foglights ????

    I have a 2014 RT and was wondering if you can install the RTS fog lights on the RT?
    They're a bit pricey but they do look bad going down the road.

    Hi Jeff!
    Yes; the foglights for both bikes are identical...
    Here's some proof:


    This was my old Spyder, before the Farkling process had begun....

    Yes, and with LED replacement lamps now available from a couple of the SL sponsors, on the home page, it's a worthwhile consideration. That is, if the price isn't an obstacle for you. I would have considered doing so two years ago for my 2013 RT but good LED lamps weren't available then and I couldn't see spending $500 for incandescent fog lamp units. I put LED auxiliary lights on the fenders.

    Front fenders already have LED's (makes a difference) - If I have done my research right the fog lights are Plug & Play - So will they turn on when you start the Spyder ?

    Excellent question ... that I don't have the answer for. On the RT they are switched on by a switch on the bank of switches in front of the glovebox. I'll assume you either have to wire in your own switch or connect that circuit to your headlamps. If you do the latter, you might have a fuse capacity issue.

    The LEDs I put on the fenders serve as fog lights. They're not marker lights like the stock LEDs are. You can see them here. http://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/s...000-negotiable

    The plug is already there. You need a two conductor Delphi 1.5 connector to plug into it. The switch connector is in the switch group on the dash. You can either buy a switch from the dealer or find, and probably slightly modify, a Carling switch that will fit. That is what I did. The BRP kit will have the switch in it and the lights will plug right into the existing harness.

    They turn on when the switch is on and the engine is running.

    Plug & Play would be nice but I found some rocker switches that I could wire up - That way I don't have to worry about fuse issues
    Sounds like it's going to be a nice weekend - Finally a chance for a decent ride.

    Thanks for Your Input
