Save you the search. Here's where I recently picked up the 2-pin male connector for the headlight-based accessory plug. [url=http://www.cycleterminal.com/hm-sealed-series-090.html]CycleTerminal

This is a screen shot of the specific plug you want to scroll down and order.

Nice set of lights! When riding at night I hate to ride faster than I can see ... Smile

Hi MVK, As a helpful hint, it is preferable to use a mini type fuse holder so that you don't have to carry other style of fuses - If required, you can use the same fuses as used on the CB.

Using the formulae I = P/E (45W/12v = 4A)
My spot lights are rated at 45 Watts each (x2), so a fuse of 8 Amps should suffice.
Just to be safe, I went up to a 10A fuse.
Also a 7 ft of 18 gauge wire should be able to handle 90 watts easily.

Alain Very cool. I could take anything apart and put it back together but electrical is usually a grey area for me!

MVK, if you said that you purchased the same light as mine, where does the 60 watts comes from.
Which model did you get?
Mine is a 9 LED at 45 watts each.

Ah I confused the 45watts and 60$.

I made an offer on an off brand that looked to be built similar to yours and the description said 60watts. I just messaged the seller to find out if it's 60w each or 30w x 2.

These are off brand as I couldn't find the motowolf but these appeared to have the same specs (thinking they were 60w). [Image: e430f9f390c34edc85ab0c1056f4e59d.jpg]

FYI,
I tried to understand the 2017 LED headlight circuit, this is the best I can get to.
Cannot figure out the grounding part.
That's the reason I added a pair of auxiliary spot lights without messing up the factory wiring.

Alain
