The 2-pin (Bl/Br) red plug in the headlight area seems to be the same for the '17 model.
Need to order the 2-pin male side if you want to do a clean plug install. Available [url=http://www.cycleterminal.com/hm-sealed-series-090.html]here as are the necessary pins.
The under-seat accessory plug on the '17 model is different than the other years. First, it's a 4-pin plug (Gr/Y, R/G, G, Bl/Br). Second, it's not in the same protective boot as the rear turn signals/tail light connectors.
It's in the protective boot on the left side with the brown battery connector.
4-pin male connector/pins can be ordered [url=http://www.cycleterminal.com/hm-sealed-series-090.html]here.
Here's my question. I believe the Bl/Br and G are hot/ground, but what are the other two (Gr/Y, R/G) wires for in this accessory plug? I only need the hot/ground and the plug itself should be switched, so can I just ignore those other two leads?
You're right about the 4 pin white connector under the left side cover of a 2017 EX, in the black boot towards the rear. The black/brown is a switched and fused (10A) circuit, and the green is always ground. The green/yellow is the brake light circuit, so powered only when brake lights applied (possibly for auxiliary brake lights or a brake light dash indicator in another market). The red/green wire is power all the time, even with the key off and removed (like charging phone when camping overnight).
The red connector in the headlight is probably for low draw accessories like GPS, phone charging, etc., not for heated grips or auxiliary headlights.
