Auxiliary Lights ?

[stant52]

I have 2010 Spyder RT without fog lights. I've been thinking of adding a set of fog/driving lights . Has anyone done this ??
I don't really see where I can mount them?? Thought about on the a-arms but the plastic covering doesn't appear to give me a place to mount them
Anyone have any ideas ?/ Thanks

I put them on the fenders of my 2013 RT. Take a read here, https://www.spyderlovers.com/forums...ing-fog-lights&p=905828&viewfull=1#post905828 , then follow the link to see a pic of them. The foglight connectors are under the tupperware above the shocks.

If you were to Add the OEM Fog lights it would be very expensive .... you would need the ENTIRE plastic assembly that holds them in place .... ANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNND they arn't very bright any how ..... there are any number of after-market LED's that can turn Night into day ( really ) .... I like the ones that Denali makes , measuring brightness vs. cost they are possibly the least expensive .... google them .... Mike :thumbup:

I already realize everything you stated. And I've found numerous led lights that I like .
The problem is finding a location on the Spyder to mount them !:shocked:

The 2010 RT has a plastic frame over top of the a-arms and I don't see a good place to mount lights. That's the problem
Just asking if anyone has any other ideas then I have .
THANKS

You might be able to notch out the plastic to mount the lights to the A arms.
Mounting lights so low may be problematic since they'll be more susceptible to damage.
Have you replaced the headlight bulbs with LED's yet ?
You may achieve more bangs for your buck that way.
Replacing the headlight bulbs with 6000K lights will allow for a much further throw of both the high and low beams.
Even if the power output remains the same, the whiter light brightens up your view so you can see further.
And God Knows, you'll be more visible to incoming traffic at night.
If you upgrade the headlight bulbs, you may not need auxiliary lights after all.
Just a thought, I could be wrong.

I have a 2014 RTS-SE6

The right side of the OEM was not working, so I replaced with LED headlights/fog lights.


The LED lights give you a wider area to see ( on the sides of the road). Also better visibility on the road.

Someone mounted some to inside of fenders (sorry lost thread) believe have seen similar on bumpskid as well. Having SpyderPops led skid works great too

I think a previous lighting vendor who is no longer on here had a set up that mounted to the fender brackets??? I'm sure someone on here had them, but I don't remember who??? Hopefully they'll see you post and step up...In the mean time I'll look out in my garage...It seems to me I bought a set and never used them...And your not far from me...I'm in south central PA...larryd

I mounted mine to the a-arms on that plastic shield. Use star washers between the bracket and the plastic to help keep bracket from rotating. Got my lights from Superbrightleds.com

Say Idaho,
I purchased a set of driving lights from larryd and plan to mount them on the fenders as you did. I want them to come on with the fog lights ( LEDs ). Do you think that in the fog light wiring is too small to carry the amperage of the LED driving lights and the LED replacement fog lights???? I know a relay could be used but is it necessary?

Thanks in advance,
Lew L

You should be OK, but compare the watts of the OEM incandescent bulbs with the combined watts of your LEDs. The LEDs ought to be somewhat less. The fog lights are part of the load handled by the load shedding relay. That circuit is fused at 25 amps.

Thanks Idaho I thought is would be OK but wanted your expert opinion.
BTW My wife's son and daughter in law have moved to Boise. ( Eagle actually)

 

[Lew L]

Do you know what color the wires are to the fog lights????

Thanks in advance, Lew L

According to the wiring diagram in the harness Gray/Green and black. There may be a Gray/Beige one in the harness which is for the non-US/Canada lower headlights.
