Givi Trunk

[Lord Popgun]

I have a Givi V46 (I think it is) on a Honda Rack. Mounted like Jambo shows. I bought the light kit directly from Givi in North Carolina (they also have a place out West) and it came with all the spring connectors. I don't like them but the connector for the rack to box works well. I had trouble with the one for the box to lid for the lights. So much trouble I finally just hard wired that one. The Givi on my ST works just as Givi designed it though. I will say I HATE those connectors. They are difficult to work with.

The lights themselves are LED. Each side on mine consists of an LED panel that has the LEDs wired in 2 groups with each group fused with a small surface mount fuse. So if one group of LEDs pops a fuse you still have at least half of the lights on that side.

That happened to me. The bad thing is that you cannot buy a Light by itself. You have to buy a new kit.

I wired mine as brake lights but there can be other options that they don't mention but the LED card is wired for.

Funny story. Being a tech and working with techs, I took the bad card in to work. One of the techs grabbed it and said he was going to figure out what was wrong. I said one of the LEDs is shorted and the fuse for that bank popped. Not good enough for him. So he jumpers the fuse and hooks up the card to a bench power supply, turns it on and a WHOLE LOT of magic smoke appeared. Burned the card up! Jeez dude, that blown fuse should have told you something. Maybe you had to be there but it was funny.
