Evening all,

I have fitted a set of hella fog lamps the same as touratech sell, I wired them in iaw the wiring diag, the only difference is I didnt wire in the switch and have the lights on all the time wire into the dipped head light. The problem arose when we road from scotland to hull and both mine and my mate xtz`s both wouldnt start due to the battery being flat? we both fitted the same lights, 55w I believe. I honestly thought the alternator would have kept thing on the right side of okay! So I was wondering if anyone has fitted a heavy duty battery or are your lights through a switch and only on at night etc....

Oh the bikes are 09 models. We took the in line fuse out and had no other trouble on the 2600 mile european trip

I plan to fit heated grips and have an aux 12v socket fitted for powering the GPS

cheers
davie
