Thread: 2013 trx500 light bar install help

Old post but
Ive just had a light bar wired direct to battery. fuse/relay and a switch a rocker switch fitted on honda dash and all ready i have managed to knock switch on and walk away from bike. So am wanting to get it wire in to assisting wire so once key is off no power will be switch.(if i didn't fit a switch i would go straight to high beam)
So my thoughts are get power from wire going to 12v socket or or tap in to wire before it gets the honda light switch.
the light bar uses 2.1A @ 13.6v so will the bikes wiring handle it?

I have lightbars on our farm quads (TRX420 and Kingquad 500) and have them running from a fused relay using the highbeam to switch the relay

Wired up as @Ryan_Songhurst has his is the most reliable and safest for original wiring. No risk of running your battery flat due to forgetting to switch light off. Depending on quality of switch you’ve fitted you can run into problems with switch wired directly in line, a bit of moisture or vibration from bike can do funny things at times. Power sourced from acc. plug also works on TRX as it’s fused, 10 amp, via ignition switch.

The guy that done it would have know this and i did ask for it to wired into ignition but it didn't happen.

Nice i just put a cigarette plug on mine and plug it into the cigarette lighter outlet on side of bike near the handle bars.
