Universal switch wiring to my headlights and turn signal help?

[rte99]

Good evening everyone I hope you guys can give me some guidance on how to wire my switch to my headlights and turn signals? I have looked up and down this forum and can't find what I'm looking for? How do I wire DRL and LED light strip to turn on and off with the red light button? I'd appreciate you all in advance .

what voltage does your bike battery output? and what voltage do the lamps run at? if different you will need a dc-dc transformer module to step down the battery voltage to the lighting level (12V?)

Do you wish to incorporate the low/high beams of your lamps too? if so take these and any other lamps/indicators into account when calculating your total lower voltage draw requirement (amp capacity of the dc/dc transformer)

be mindful of the load handling capacity of your switch set too, those wires look pretty thin and dont look like they could handle much of a load?

Hey thanks for reaching out to me I have a 72v 20ah battery and I'm using a 20-90v input to 12v-20a max step down dc converter fused to accessories and I'm using a 2 position toggle switch for the he high and low beam? My headlights are 12v and all my light switches.

Just want to get my ebike out on the road and I need to be safe first and this is what my Ridstar Q20 mod looks like.

Fun looking bike - ok im not a qualified sparky or anything so please double check me...

So we are switching the front and rear DRL (day light running?) lamps.

You could run them in serial with each other but that would result in both going out if one fails so i would suggest wiring in parallel with each other.

So

1) Connect the +ve transformer terminal to one wire connected to the red latching switch

2) Take the remaining switch wire and connect it to the +ve connections for both lamps (white for the front / red for the rear )

3) Finally you should be able to complete the circuit by connecting the transformer negative to the black/green (-ve) wires of both lamps.
If the switch is in the ON position the lights will flicker on, on connection, and it may even spark so be aware.

I have a vision to have 3 switches to control my lights I'm also having a issue with my tail lights my DLR has its own ground so I believe it has to be grounded by itself am I right? Just need to get my lighting system done correctly and working correctly so I can work on installing a fardriver controller.
