Default Head Light Installation

I just bought some new headlights for my yamaha raptor. I would like to install them on the front bumper. The lights came with instructions to do a complete wire job. but can't i just splice into the existing wires and use both the stock lights and the after markets?

Default Head Light Installation

I think 4 lights might be too much for the electrical system to handle. When I had an extra set of lights on my honda recon I could only use one pair at a time constantly, or it would drain the battery faster than it was recharging. I just had it set up that I could turn the accessory lights on when I got to a place that needed extra light, and then flicked them back off when they weren't necesscary.

I had my trailtech torch lights set up so they would turn on with the stock light switch in HI. In LOW, Id run the stock lights and when I flipped it to high, it would turn on the trailtechs and the stockers. Just go ahead and splice into the HIGH wire.

Thank you very much!! I will wire them into my high beams only, so i can use my low beams and let the battery recharge when necessary!

Thank you so much!!
