A detailed photo of the exact harness location can be found on the next page. Mount the harness in a location behind and above the headlight, along the centerline of the bike. Make sure wires are dressed neatly and secured with zip-ties away from pinch points and direct heat.
Route the power wires from the harness toward the battery in the path shown above. It may be useful to use a wire pull tool for this task.

Wiring

To utilize the switched hot, highbeam and horn functions of your Clearwater Lights, use the provided Posi-Taps to tap into the corresponding wires at the headlight connector and horn respectively. Reference the overview wiring diagram on Page 2 for an overview.
Switched Hot: Use a Posi-Tap to tap the red wire from the Clearwater Lights Harness to the Blue with Black Stripe wire at the headlight connector.

Highbeam: Use a Posi-Tap to tap one of the white wires from the Clearwater Lights Harness to the Solid Blue wire at the headlight connector.
Horn: Posi-Tap the other white wire from the Clearwater Lights harness to the hot wire of the horn. The horn is located on the left side of the bike, next to the factory AUX fog light.

Dimmer + Switch Installation

Mounting Dimmer Control and Switch:
Mount the dimmer to the handlebar cluster using the supplied L bracket, two spacers, flat washer and bolt stackup. The M6 x 10 BH will thread into the dimmer box through the L bracket. Reference photos below.
Try to route wires from lights and volume control knob along pre-existing wires.

Mount the switch to the adjacent faster utilizing the M5 x 35 SH bolt and spacer.

NOTE: Make sure the dimmer and switch connections to the harness are securely fastened. The lights will not turn on without the switch connected.

Mounting the Lights

Removal of the original mirror covers is required, they will be replaced with modified ones included in this kit. Once the original covers are removed, three fasteners will be exposed. Assemble the mirror mount and modified cover. The bracket should easily fall into place and will align with the three fastener points. Follow the exploded diagram below for complete installation .

Light Alignment & Tips

Light Alignment:
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 (5 degrees) 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.
