The install was a major PITA! What I did was I drilled small holes in the bottom of the windscreen where they would be covered after it was installed in the housing. There are 4 "grain of wheat" white lights and 6 LEDs strategicly placed along the bottom of the windscreen. The 4 grain of wheat lights are wired in series and the LEDs are wired in series and parallel. This was all done so each of the lights/LEDs get the proper voltage. Wiring all the leads for all of those lights where they would fit inside the housing was a royal pain. It was like microsurgery! Basically I have 4 leads the came out the bottom of the windscreen housing (positive and negative for both the white and red lights/LEDs) and into the secret compartment. Then I wired up everything to proper power sources (running lights for the white and 3rd brake light for the red) and used a relay to switch between the white and red lights when the brakes were applied. I tried just leaving the white lights on and turning on the red LEDs when the brakes were applied but the white washed out the red so I added the relay to switch between them. If anyone had anymore questions, I'd be glad to answer them for you. Just be far warned before any of you try this...it is very tedious!

Looks great. Did you take off the wind screen to do the wiring and drilling? Does the Lexan come off the black bracket that holds it? Can you give more details about the location of the wire routing. Is in soldered together in the holder or in the secret compartment?
Thanks Jim Herman
