I have got a pair of these additional driving lamp pods fitted to the front of my 2000 FL with the switch to the right of the steering wheel witch lights up when pressed and full beam is on but the actual lights dont work ? I have took the pods of and traced the wires back and they are spliced into the main wiring loom behind headlights and also had a look at the RAVE cd but cant find any wiring diagram for these ? Can any body shed any light on this (no pun intended) before I go pulling the whole lot bits ?

Sorry for all the questions but cant find any info on these or specific wiring diagrams.

cheers Ian

The connection diagram for these lights is in the Accessories section on the Rave CD, although it doesn't give a wiring diagram as such.

There should be a bracket fitted to the battery clamp bolt that holds the relay and fuse for the extra lights, unless it's a bodge job and not the full kit.

Bog standard 4 pin relay, just unplugs from its holder.
Any spares shop, Halfords, etc.

Click to expand...

There should be an inline fuse holder and seperate relay holder as part of a genuine wiring harness, the relay just unplugs.
If its a diy job they may have fitted a fused relay, again any parts shop will sell one
