OTMTRX Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 yep use the stock wiring for the (brown wire from switch, I'm assuming there is no Hi/low on the HID's) coil on the relay, then the heavier gauge wiring / battery / lights all go thru the relay contacts.. 1 Quote
KansasTRX450R-Rider Posted May 13, 2012 Author Posted May 13, 2012 I ran into an issue tonight while wiring. When I was running the wire to charge the battery(black from keyswitch) I realized it has 27 v DC. I checked the red keyswitch wire and it has 14v dc. Should I use the red wire?

KansasTRX450R-Rider Posted May 13, 2012 Author Posted May 13, 2012 I went to the hated "org" and looked up some old threads... I ended up using the red condensor wire with a 10a fuse. Hope it works good!

OTMTRX Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 The red and the black wire are the same wire.. red before keyswitch..black after.. no idea how you got 27v on that..lol. Red from condenser is not switched by the key switch... so you will have a constant drain to ground on your battery once the condenser charges.... which will be very quickly.. Use the Black wire... and a 5A fuse.. Quote
bvet4dog Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 i have a suggestion for hid kit. You should look at the retrofitting solutions. Get the mini versions and the performance are far superior over the halogen hid kits. cheers Quote 07 trx450r http://450rhq.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/cd3b5c0a9ec786930d0a92290fd034b5.jpg
KansasTRX450R-Rider Posted May 13, 2012 Author Posted May 13, 2012 I was just following the directions on the org and no one complains about the battery dying. I will have to wait and see. Thanks guys!

bvet4dog Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 but hey they sure are worth every pennies over the other cheapy HID kits. Here's a pic of them on my truck. (low beams) http://www.offtopic.forum/uploads/imported/2012/05/IMAG0901-1.jpg http://www.offtopic.forum/uploads/imported/2012/05/IMAG0882-1.jpg http://www.offtopic.forum/uploads/imported/2012/05/IMAG0823-1.jpg http://www.offtopic.forum/uploads/imported/2012/05/IMAG0837-1.jpg I'm still very very happy with this setup on my 4runner. I've been getting compliments every time i have a passenger riding with me. You see, comparing a kit like mine with other cheap-o hid kits in performance wise..... the retrofit wins. No more scattered spots, crystal clear lights, no more blinding people on the road or getting pulled over for "illegal" lights.... mind you it depends on the asshole or good cop and the area. My photos does not do justice. The bulbs I'm using is only 5k and outperforms a friend's cheap-0 6k and 8k hid kits. I will be putting one of their kits (the retrofit source) into my 450 sometime this summer. I dont do enough night ride to justify that kind of spending money for lights.

KansasTRX450R-Rider Posted May 14, 2012 Author Posted May 14, 2012 They are cool looking... Just already bought the hid kit so im gonna stick with it Quote 2004 TRX450R- Wiseco 11.5:1, Stage 2 Hotcam Velocity Intake, K&N Filter, Nmotion Shorty Pipe Sikk MX Grab Bar, Shaved Fenders, HID Lights, ASV Clutch Lever Duncan Seat, IMS Pegs, G-Force Hubs Sand- 8 Paddle Haulers on Polished .125 DWT Blue Labels 21X11X8 Dirt- Rear-Holeshots -- Front- Maxxis Razr 2's Tusk Clutch Kit W/ HD Springs Blingstar Iron Cross Bumper (2) +10 HP Stickers Stock Bore, Stock Stroke, Mixed Pump Gas, And Still Kickin' Ass!!! :lhdevil:
KansasTRX450R-Rider Posted May 15, 2012 Author Posted May 15, 2012 Ok, This is what I ended up doing- I used the wires that activate the relay and grounded the black to the frame and ran the red to a 6A flip switch in the rear were it is out of view. Now for the battery charging wire. I took the wire off of the condensor and hooked it back up like factory and hooked my charging wire up to the black 14V wire on the key switch(24v or whatever it was the otherday was because the tester was on the wrong setting) and then ran the wire to the battery along with a 10A fuse. Now for the HID power wires. I ran the red to the battery and hooked it ,and the activation wire, (from the hidden switch) up to the 25A fuse that was included in the kit and grounded the blacks to the frame. I realized that when I had it wired to the OEM lightswitch that I couldn't turn the lights on if the quad was off and kinda asked myself, why did I buy the battery then...so I wired it this way and realized that I really didn't need the relay but I wired it up that way anyway.... Please comment with pointers...Thanks Quote 2004 TRX450R- Wiseco 11.5:1, Stage 2 Hotcam Velocity Intake, K&N Filter, Nmotion Shorty Pipe Sikk MX Grab Bar, Shaved Fenders, HID Lights, ASV Clutch Lever Duncan Seat, IMS Pegs, G-Force Hubs Sand- 8 Paddle Haulers on Polished .125 DWT Blue Labels 21X11X8 Dirt- Rear-Holeshots -- Front- Maxxis Razr 2's Tusk Clutch Kit W/ HD Springs Blingstar Iron Cross Bumper (2) +10 HP Stickers Stock Bore, Stock Stroke, Mixed Pump Gas, And Still Kickin' Ass!!! :lhdevil:
