Hi everyone,

I'm new on here and from the UK. Will be using the scooter in central London and on my larger Kawasaki Z750 it was 'Be Safe, Be Seen, Be Heard', but not gonna be able to get the C400 to sound like the Z!

So mounted these little lights to the front forks. I adapted some predrilled metal strips to make the brackets and mounted using the mudguard bolts, the bracket is between the fork and mudguard so I didn't require spacers and longer bolts.

Ran the wires up following the brake lines and into the SatNAv port using a connecter I ordered on Ebay. Came with two wires, Live and Neutral. this does keep powered for about 60s after the ignition is turned off, but powers immediately the ignition is turned on. These have Angel Eyes, nice and very bright.

Question: What would be the best way to now wire the centre of these lights into the high beam?

As I posted a few minutes ago, this is similar to what I did, when adding very bright Skene LEDs up front. See https://www.bmw-scooters.com/threads/c-400-gt-anyone-added-front-lights.2546/post-28705
