Hi guys. I'm going to try to post my experience installing PIAA fog lights with pictures. This will be my first time posting such a thing.
Please bare with me. I bought the PIAA 22-05372 LP530 Yellow 3.5" LED Ion Driving Light Kit and the Denali auxiliary light mounting bracket. Purchased a dash infill panel from Ramseybella. The quality and fit is amazing. It fits like an OEM piece. Got a switch and USB outlet from superbrightleds.com. Cut holes in the panel with a drill and jigsaw with a 24tpi blade. Primed the panel with aluminum primer.

Currently working on paring down the excessively long PIAA wiring harness. Crimping and soldering all of the push-on connectors. Got one picture of the lights powered up! I'll post more pics as I go. Did I mention I love this bike? ::022::

Nice looking. I just installed the SW-Motech EVO fog lights (LED) on the Touratech crashbar. Same position as yours. They look great. I'm still not done yet as I need to go out at night to give them the proper angle.

Juan, I will have to do the same. Take the bike out at night and adjust the lights . Should be fun. Currently waiting on a 3 circuit solution from easternbeaver.com. It should be here in a few weeks.

I like the Piaa fog lights and put a set on a few weeks ago. I used the Piaa mounts that placed them under the headlights. I have mine aimed a little low, but I'm still experimenting with them.

Ok guys finally finished this project. Small change in plans since I couldn't get the desired paint finish with rust oleum on the infill panel. I had it powder coated matte black at a local powder coating company. 25.00 sweet deal !!. Completed the modifications to the wiring harness and installed convoluted tubing. Installed the Eastern Beaver 3 circuit solution specifically for the S10. I hooks up to the battery and the 3 wire aux plug under the right side cowel panel. Had a good time with this project. BTW, don't tell anyone about my double secret spare key location. Shhhh. They say a picture is worth a thousand words...

Best regards
Bill

Those lights look really cool in the factory spot as well. Are your for riding at night or for daytime visibility?


Bill
I only use them for daytime visibility. You get noticed without blinding oncoming drivers.
