F3 OEM Signature Light died - can I use its wiring for a/mkt replacement?

[Dutchy]

As you all can probably gather, I have the above light from BRP now half of the strip is not working and unrepairable, so I have now picked up the Rocket Bright Light to replace it, the question I have am I able to use the wires from the old signature light, (remember it has a relay) so I am looking at cutting the wires after the relay then attaching the new light using the old wiring including the relay.
Even though the gut is saying it will work I am not that sure on what the relay does and will if stuff up the light, the questions I have are:

1. will it work;
2. would it be best to use the customer accessories connection; or
3. just try it and see?

If it works, it'll be one easy install

As I was typing, I found the answer customer accessories apparently as the relay is part the problem

A relay delays energizing the circuit until after the engine is running. This conserves battery capacity to fire up the critical electronics and start the engine. I also use relays to isolate high current loads of my aftermarket stuff. We have Lamonster Garage and TricLED front lighting on our F3 models.

Although I have not worked with the OEM Signature Light or the brand of your replacement, they are likely all LED-based. The OEM Sig Lt is single color, so no controller is needed: the "-" and "+" wire energize the circuit and turn the light on. If one is using a multicolor and/or programmable light, there will be some sort of controller in the loop. But, there are still only the "-" & "+" wires that lead into the controller. That stated, I would tie into the OEM wiring, after the relay, matching the wire polarity going to the light or its controller.
