Velislide Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 I bought a set of torch lights recently, and wired them both up to my highbeams. I also had my Vapor connected to the highbeams so its backlight would turn on when I had my lights on. Well I had one light connected, tested it and worked great, same with the vapor. Connected the other light and wrapped up the wiring nice and good, tried it, and nothing worked, not even my vapors backlight. So I was all wtf, tested one light on lowbeam, it worked... hooked up both lights to the lowbeam, now the lights both dont work again.

Thats what just came to mind... could I have fryed something in the stator when turning both lights on? The quad still runs good. And is it possible for an aftermarket stator to power 4 of these Torches? Had an idea that would be cool, for mounting 2 more. Whats the best aftermarket stator to buy, and most reliable? Any help would be great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snopczynski Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Sounds like you hooked it up wrong. Like in series or something. There isn't much to tell you without knowing what wires you hooked up where. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velislide Posted February 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 (edited) Sounds like you hooked it up wrong. Like in series or something. There isn't much to tell you without knowing what wires you hooked up where. I hooked them up to the Yellow and Green? I think are the two colors, I didnt use the black. I did the same on both sides. Now if I try to get even one working, it wont light up... I cut the plug off the original wiring harness, that the stock lights plugged into, and wired them directly into that, since the plug-n-play fittings that came with the lights didnt fit... they were male plugs, I needed female plugs on the lights lol.

Fullthrottle02 Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Green should be your low, Yellow your high, and blacks your ground. I would say you should have connected the yellow and black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheesandrider Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 (edited) How many wires are coming out of each Trail Tech, 1 or 2? If there is only 1 wire coming from the light then you should connect the black wire to the Trail Tech mounting bolt.

Snopczynski Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 You can use the black ground wires in the harness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
