Mounting The Lights
- First, park the motorcycle on hard pavement or concrete to insure the bike will be stable during the installation. If you can mount the bike on a stand with tie-down straps, this will help secure the motorcycle.
- Follow the manufacturers guidelines for disconnecting the battery. This is important to prevent damage to the electrical system.
- Pre-assemble the lights to the mounting brackets using the shoulder washers (if needed), along with the spacers and new bolts. Add 1 or 2 plastic washers to shoulder washer to make up difference in thickness of front fender if needed. Make sure to assemble one side at a time.
- Gently screw all bolts in hand tight. Inspect the bolt length and spacer alignment before tightening the bolts. Follow the pictures below as a reference.
- The mounting bracket can be mounted facing down (shown) or up to give the desired adjustability range.
Wiring
- Be sure to route wires so that they cannot become tangled or caught in either a suspension or steering component. Check movement of both steering and suspension before riding the bike.
- It is helpful to follow existing wire routing.
- Before connecting wires together on the lights and bike, be sure to disconnect the negative terminal from the battery first, then the positive terminal.
- Use the wiring diagram on Page 4 as reference.
- Connect small red wires coming out of lights with a Posi-tap to a switched hot wire. This means one that turns off with the key. A low beam wire coming from the headlight assembly can often be used. Make sure both red wires are connected to the Posi-tap together. Refer to the Posi-tap installation instructions on Page 5.
- Connect small black wires coming out of lights with a Posi-tap to a ground wire coming out of the headlight assembly. Or any ground on the bike.
- Connect small yellow wires coming out of lights with a Posi-tap to a high beam wire (Voltage when high beam is switched on) coming out of the headlight assembly
High Beam Feature:
When your Glendina lights are installed, they will run at a lower brightness setting when the motorcycle headlight is switched to low, and 100% brightness when the motorcycle headlight is switched to high.

How To Use Posi-Taps
- Strip black sleeve back 2.5” and strip the six wires back 0.5”
- Twist common colored wires together.
- Completely unscrew bottom cap from Posi-Tap.
- Feed the twisted wires through the bottom portion of the Posi-Tap.
- Hold onto the base to ensure the wires do not slip out of the bottom of the Posi-Tap, attach to Posi-Tap body and tighten.
- Unscrew the gray cap of the Posi-Tap.
- Twist the two common coloed wires backwards so when threading the grey cap back on, the wires will be in a relaxed state and not twisted.
- Slide the wire you wish to tap into through the slot in the cap.
- Re-attach the body of the Posi-Tap and tighten, this will relax the twist applied in step 7.
Aligning The Lights + Tips
Ask an assistant to help you with this procedure. Make sure the bike is on level ground and have an assistant sit on the bike. Press a level against the face of the light, and adjust its angle. The goal is to adjust the lights so that the light is level with the ground. Passengers and luggage may alter the alignment of the light, so further adjustments may be needed. You may find that a slight downward angle (5degrees) is helpful.
Do Not Kink The Grommet
To maintain the integrity of the water sealling grommet, do not kink, deform or put pressure on the grommet when dressing the wires during install of Clearwater Lights.
