[QUOTE="1FJR, post: 88167, member: 486"] I bought a set of Hella FF50 lights and brackets from Garauld awile ago. Well I finally got them installed. The brackets are great, the lights look great. I have not tried them at night yet. When I got the lights, I did not want to use the giant switch that came with them. I decided to find a switch to fit that opening on the housing on the left handlebar. I found a switch from DIGI-Key (CH755-ND) that was only slightly larger than the opening. So with some carefull file work I was able to make the switch fit. My uncle the family electronic genius suggested that I install a resistor (1K 0hm rated at 1/2 watt) between tabs #85 and #86 on the relay to help keep the switch from burning out. I just sodered it in place. [IMG]https://greenhorn.smugmug.com/photos/65467296-M.jpg[/IMG] The photo shows the back side of the switch. The black arrow points to where I had to make room for the two wires from the switch. I then routed the wires out the same hole as all the other wires from the housing. Sorry for the out of focus picture. [IMG]https://greenhorn.smugmug.com/photos/65467289-M.jpg[/IMG] This is the switch in place. I have a cover for the switch that I will glue in place after I make sure it all works for awhile. [IMG]https://greenhorn.smugmug.com/photos/65467287-M.jpg[/IMG] Here is the finished light installed.
