starkruzen Posted December 25, 2009 #1 Posted December 25, 2009 Does any know where I can find some instructions for installing passing lights on my 07 RSTD? The instruction that came with it is a bit vague at best! I have been search strings here but have not found anything useful. Any assistance would be greatly apprciated! Thanks Mark:nanner:

Gamecock Posted December 26, 2009 #7 Posted December 26, 2009 It's to early for April Fools jokes!!! How hard/easy is it to do? I could do the nuts and bolts, it's the electrical I'm worried about. Ben

Ben The Electrical is not that big a deal. You will have to split the fairing and may have to pull the tank to run a main power wire from the battery. Just my preference, but I like to put the a main power fuse as close to the battery as possible, so the hot wire running under the tank is fuse protected.

starkruzen Posted December 26, 2009 Author #9 Posted December 26, 2009 It was easy! Took about a hour and half. You can do it. The wiring was the easy part.
wes0778 Posted December 26, 2009 #10 Posted December 26, 2009 It was easy! Took about a hour and half. You can do it. The wiring was the easy part. Looks Like he has a RSV, so a little more involved...
Gamecock Posted December 26, 2009 #11 Posted December 26, 2009 My dad is coming to town today and he said he would look at it and try. He's a little more mechanical than me. If not, I'll support the Yamaha dealer. They seem like a good group of guys. Ben

Ben gamecock, if the yammy dealer does the install, ask them to use a 30 or 40 amp relay (which does not come with the lamp kit). i just did the install on my 07 RSTD and the only issue i had was making the oem flashers fit onto the provided shaft - but got some great advice from this forum and that issue was resolved. good luck & you will absolutely love the look.
aspen60 Posted December 27, 2009 #13 Posted December 27, 2009 Okay I got the passing lights mounted that Santa brought me as well, my hard part was getting the lights to line up, I guess I won't know if I aimed them right untill it's warm and dry enough to test on a ride. Anybody else have trouble aiming?

Ben By the sounds of it if you support the stealer they will not use a relay to control them and you will be looking at replacing your ignition switch down the road. Just passin on some of the things I read here.
Gamecock Posted December 27, 2009 #15 Posted December 27, 2009 Anyone have a link for the 30 or 40 amp relay that was mentioned above. I think I found someone (a buddy) who will do it, I just need to gather all the needed parts. Thanks Ben
Thom Posted December 27, 2009 #16 Posted December 27, 2009 its a 5 pin Bosh type relay , your local auto parts store will have them , look in the fog lite section . its the same relay used when installing fog lites .
wes0778 Posted December 28, 2009 #17 Posted December 28, 2009 NAPA (Echlin) # AR274 The neat thing about this relay is it has 2 #87 terminals, one for each driving light so no "Y" connector needed. Got one in case my RSV is running the passing lights through the ignition switch. Now for the exploratory surgery...
Aussie Annie Posted December 28, 2009 #18 Posted December 28, 2009 Glad we could help you!!! Yep, and the hand never even left the wrist
