06:21 pm | When I acquired my 89 Wing several years ago, the lower lights were not working, replaced the bulbs and vola working cornering lights. I would like to convert them to running lights now, I find I don't need cornering lights. How do I do this? |

06:47 am | You could change the wiring to an always on configuration but, the reflectors for the cornering lights point to the side so the best way would be to get a running light kit for your bike and install it.
You could trigger it from a relay either by the accessory terminal or a switch.
HERE is a kit.
Or
You could keep the cornering lights and install a separate accessory driving light kit.

08:41 am | Steve,
Electrical Connection has a kit that converts
the cornering lights to both cornering and
running lights. They do this by adding a second
lamp in each light. The instructions look very easy to do. Give them a call.
Good luck and ride safe,
Ken

05:53 pm | Find the relays on either side of the radiator shroud (both on the right side of my 96 SE) and cut the orange with white stripe wire on the left relay and light blue with white stripe on the right relay. Now they will be on all the time. I went one step further by running the wires up to two seperate switches and back down to each relay. Now I have the option or full time running lights OR normally acdting cornering lights.
As the others have stated, these are pointed down and out but still add conspicuity to your bike to oncoming traffic. It helps them Identify you as a non 4 wheeler (triangular light set up in front). |
