Driving/Fog Lites 2010 GW Lehman

[dsifford]

I am wanting to install driving/fog lights on my new GW trike. Is this something straight forward? Always concerned about splicing into wiring harness. Only had the trike for 3 weeks and 1200 miles, but want the increased lighting and visibility.

Thanks. Really enjoying this forum.

I'm not familiar with the Lehman conversion, so here are the basics.

If you have running boards you may have to remove them. You will have to remove the front cowling which in itself is a pain. Comes off easy, but for me, is always a pain to get back on. Be patient it will eventually go, for me it's after going through every profane word I can think of.

If you buy a light kit designed to the 1800 it's for the most part plug and play. There are connectors on each side which you will plug the lights into. You just need to run the wire for the on/off switch, which usually is installed on the left side below the pocket. This will require the removal of a couple of plastic pieces on the left side, but it's not that difficult.

If you go with a decent light kit then there will be no need to cut any wires. They all have plugs that connect to existing connectors.

Hope this helps

If you get ShowChrome or BigBike or Honda they're all basically plug and play. They'll give you more light but they will not be as strong as your head lights or a dedicated set of driving lights. To remove the cowl you dont have to remove the running boards. The front of the running boards have 2 bolts extra that connect to the cowling. You just have to be careful removing and re-inserting the cowling. And whatever you do DO NOT use thread locker on the screws ,it will break up the ABS that the metal clip sits on in the cowling. When putting the cowl on I usually try to fit the top and then one side at a time at the bottom of the cowl.

Thanks for the responses. I am sure a certain amount of profanity will occur. Sounds straight forward enough. I am looking at the Show Chrome lights.
