Ok gang,
I need some advice, even if it's "hey that's a really bad idea because of this or that" is welcome here.
I'm going to install a Skinz Headlight delete kit and replace my headlights with 2 Rigid LED light bars.
The main light will be a 10" dual row flood/hyperspot combo and the secondary will be a 6" single row amber.
The intent is to use the 10 as the primary and then to be able to switch it off when meeting oncoming traffic on the trail. The 6 would then either be switched on or remain on when oncoming traffic is approaching.
The 10 will be mounted up high near where the headlights would normally be while the 6 will most likely get mounted to the Skinz front bumper.
My main question is wiring. I have a 480cca lithium battery (if that matters) but my big question is where should I wire these? Options are directly to the battery, to the accessory power, or to the existing headlight wires. Each light comes with it's own on'off switch that I'll be using as part of the benefit of this is to getrid of as many controls off the handlebars as possible.
I'm skeptical as to whether the battery will be able to keep up with the draw as the stator (to my knowledge) doesnt charge it much when running however the accessory plug has full juice so long as the machine is running. If that's the case maybe I should hook the 6 up to the battery and the 10 to the accessory plug and see how that works.
I'm open to advice here.
