DIMMING CONTROL (Wonder Wheel equipped bikes) Information on Dimming: Two modulated brightness channels are adjustable using the Wonder Wheel. Each channel is programmable for (11) brightness settings (3, 10-100%) in three different modes (day, night, and high beam). Settings are stored, and will be remembered when restarting the bike or disconnecting the battery. The dimmer is programmed at the factory for the most useful day/night settings. Follow the procedure below to enter dimming mode
- Step 1: To enter into dimming mode, first press & release the TSC button shown in the figure to the right.
- Step 2: To adjust Glenda/Darla lights, hold the Wonder Wheel to the Left for 2 seconds. To adjust Krista/Erica/Sevina lights, hold Wonder Wheel to the Right for 2 seconds. The lights should flash twice. The brightness level can then be adjusted by rotating the Wonder Wheel forward and back.
- Step 3: To exit dimming mode, press and release the TSC button again. This will lock in the brightness setting.
Note – Remember that each set of lights are adjustable for day and night. Day and night settings are automatically selected by the ambient light level reaching the bike’s photocell. To adjust the night dimmer, simply cover the dash display using your hand or a towel. Activating the high beam switches the lights to 100%. If you want your high beam dimmed, simply perform the same commands (above) in high beam.
DIMMING CONTROL (Non-Wonder Wheel) If the motorcycle does not have the GPS Prep Package (Wonder Wheel), your light kit will come equipped with a handlebar mounted knob for dimming control. Separate day/night settings, seperate channel dimming, and strobe functions are not available.

DIXI FUNCTIONALITY
Dixi lights operate similarly to two sets of our lights. The Outer Ring of LEDs (A) can be turned on and off by holding in the TSC for 2 seconds just like a set of Krista’s, Ericas or Levinas. The Inner LEDs (B) are designed to come on with the engine just like a set of Darla’s but can be shut off (Version 2.3+) by holding the TSC Left for 5 seconds and turned back on by holding the TSC to the right for 3 seconds. The Inner and Outer rings of LEDs is dimmed together using the same dimming operation as the Krista/Erica/Sevina channel. Refer to Page 5, Step 2 for further dimming operation details.
