LtShame Posted July 7, 2009 #1 Posted July 7, 2009 SO I BIT THE BULLET AND INSTALLED MY "PASSING LAMPS" ON SUNDAY TOOK ME ABOUT 4 HOURS(FOLLOWED DIRECTIONS TO THE LETTER)..AND A SIX PACK OF "GUINESS".LOL...THANKS TO ALL OF THE "VRs" THAT OFFERED HELP.BUT I HAD TO TRY IT ON MY OWN.
Dave77459 Posted July 7, 2009 #2 Posted July 7, 2009 Congrats! Looks great! Did you install it so that the passing lamps turn off when the high beam is on? That's what my dealer did and I wish they hadn't.
RandyR Posted July 7, 2009 #3 Posted July 7, 2009 Good looking bike. The lamps add to its looks. I've also been thinking about adding passing lamps to my Tour Deluxe. Are you using Yamaha OEM lamps and brackets or an after market brand?
Hummingbird Posted July 7, 2009 #4 Posted July 7, 2009 Hey Lieutenant - I knew you could do it. I told you that If I could, just about anybody could install them. looks like you did a fine job - and You're Welcome.
LtShame Posted July 7, 2009 Author #5 Posted July 7, 2009 I bought them from EBAY...THE SELLERS STORE IS..."FIX POWER SPORTS YAMAHA"..in Byron,Minnesota the cost was 254.00(LAMPS AND MOUNTS)...Delivery took about 2 days!!!......I wired them so the lamps come on with the headlights,the switch and inline fuse(included)enables me to cut them on and off when i want.....There was a red wire from the switch that i spliced to a headlight harness wire(RED WITH A YELLOW STRIPE) that makes them come on when you start the bike then you can turn them off if you like.
Herb In Texas Posted July 7, 2009 #6 Posted July 7, 2009 Looks Good Lt. But I noticed your C.B. Antenna is on the wrong side. Mine was too when new. Might want to check out the cable to be sure. The C.B. Radio is under the travel trunk. If the wire on the left antenna goes under there then they are swapped . the cable for the antenna on the right should go all the way up under the front Fairing. Thats where the radio is mounted. Great looking lights, I still ain't ponied up the cash to buy mine yet.
Herb In Texas Posted July 7, 2009 #8 Posted July 7, 2009 If you look close at my Photo I only got one good eye. I try to use it as effectivly as possible.
BuddyRich Posted July 7, 2009 #9 Posted July 7, 2009 Mine was like that for a couple of months. And it still worked, go figure. WE were all at a M&E and Rick parks next to me and says, ""your CB is on the wrong side. I said "why's mine wrong and yours right". (first time I ever meet him)We both started laughing .Start of a great meet and eat.
N3FOL Posted July 7, 2009 #11 Posted July 7, 2009 Congrats on your successful Passing Lamp installation job. The bike sure is more noticeable with those extra lights in front. As a habit before I turn off my engine, I always switch off my passing lamps. I don't know, perhaps it is just me...hoping my passing lamps will last longer.
raceman62race Posted July 7, 2009 #12 Posted July 7, 2009 Goog job & NICE BIKE!!! Congratulations !!!
