Wiring Headlights, TRX250R...
I am in need of help...
I have an 86 TRX250R with no remains of factory lighting. I have one "hot" wire coming from the stator. I also have the standard Trail Tech lighting kit, MSR 12V regulator and an automotive toggle switch.
Do I run from this "hot" wire to the regulator (one wire in, one out), then through the switch (one wire in, one out), then in to one wire from each light ( T'd together)? If so where do the other wires go? I would think that the remaining two wires would "T" together and then run back to one wire of the taillight, with the other taillight wire terminating at a frame connection: is that correct? Will this setup provide each light with 12V power or will the strength be compromised? Also, how should the regulator be mounted? I have seen setups with a bolt through the hole in the regulator, is that recommended or safe?
Despite this dumb question, I have a fair understanding of electricity and wiring, but have never had to be concerned with smaller two-stroke voltage limitations; especially when trying to create a "reliable" system from scratch...
Thanks.
